Two BBQ heavyweights clash at the Grill: Kansas City vs Texas June 25-27

[saddles]

trade seems like the only option at the moment. White is showing a little something at the moment, and he's the only likely person that Terry could replace

If they like White enough to play him regularly, then Dahl would seem to be the odd man out. They could wait a few days to prove he is healthy and then trade him to someone needing a good 4th outfielder.

Ryan Dorrow is another kid that I wish they would bring up at some point next month. He was having a phenomenal breakout season at Frisco, so they moved him up to AAA. A few days later his numbers for Round Rock are better than they were in Frisco.

After the AS bteak I would like to see:

Terry at DH/1B
Dorrow at 3B, with the ability to play SS and 2B also.

Let's get a look at these kids.

shit, I forgot Dahl even existed

Gibson will probably get two more starts before the break. Then he could get three more between the break and the end of the month.

so what would you do with Lowe, Holt and Culberson?

 

[Uncle Siggy]

Willie wasn't doing anything to speak of (as usual) so just be done with it and put him on the 60 and fill his spot. Maybe whoever that might be can fill that slot better than he could a win win, especially if they can stay healthy...

We could just DFA Holt, Culbertson and maybe even Lowe and clear those 3 spots

You know, I was truly expecting some sort of World Series of barbecuing when I opened this thread, really let down.

so what would you do with Lowe, Holt and Culberson?

Lowe is not going anywhere or losing his spot. They invested too much in him. The jury is still out in him anyway.

Holt, Culbertson and Dahl are jist placeholders until a prospect proves to be ready. I doubt that more than one of them are still here within the next 4 to 5 weeks.

Some notes from Scott Lucas about yesterday's games in the minors.

Since joining Round Rock, Dorow has played four of seven games at shortstop. Yonny Hernandez played the other three. Drafted in 2017's 30th round, Dorow signed for a paltry $2,000 as a senior out of Adrian College in southeast Michigan. He's hitting a combined .336/.414/.593 in 31 games at the upper levels.

Jung's homers have gone to left-center, center, and left. Per FanGraphs.com, 52% of his contact has traveled pull-side. That's a far cry from the right-center-centric contact he showed at Texas Tech and his brief professional intro in 2019.

I didn't see any of Cole Winn's start as I was watching the College World Series. From what I heard, the quality matches the stats.

Snyder(relief pitcher) dealt consistently upper 90s, touched 100, and mixed in an 85-87 slider.

Think you’re wrong but willing to wait and see

A J Alexy and Mason Englert pitch today for Frisco and Down East.

You mean about Lowe? I think he will be Odored for awhile even if he doesn't play better. It would make the trade look awfully silly if they gave up on him now or anytime this year.

Personally, I didn't like the trade when it happened.

No about the other 3

I think Jung will be up shortly and either Holt or Culberson will have to go. Just my thought.

Going out on a limb and predicting a win for a sweep.
