At least the 40 man roster seems more stable (thus far) than last year.
With Shore, is this a case of someone else's trinket looks shinier than your own so you must get it?
I think it is probably more like walking on the beach and you see a shell on the ground, so you pick it up. After you look at it for 3.5 seconds, you realize it is broken or whatever and you toss it away without giving it a second thought.

Or picking up all the tossed tickets at the horse track, hoping someone tossed a winner.

Or you have to rush through the grocery store so you just grab a bunch of stuff, through it in the cart and pay for it all, only to see you got something and you don't know why so you just toss it.

Conforto led off todays game with his 3rd HR. One has to be pleased with what we see so far.

Yikes. I just saw his picture. He's yet another gingerphuk in the bullpen. Like Shittell, like Brebbia, like Menez. Ugh.
Problem with redheads?

Both Slater and Waites may be progressing enough to be ready for Opening Day. Szapucki, meanwhile, has been shut down for an undetermined amount of time due to elbow soreness.

This is why we go after Matt Harvey...?

Or nah?

Redheads…


Ugh.

Amirite?
Actually, I just noticed that she has a nose ring (not sure, the gif is a little grainy). THAT is "ugh".

Nothing wrong with redheads. Although, understandably, they don't like the sun very much.

So you are saying they spend more time in the bedroom?

Why would we need Harvey? He's been not very good for quite some time now.
And Waites isn’t expected to make the team and Szapucki getting hurt actually helps the teams bully roster crunch.

I cannot remember - do you see the team carrying only 12 pitchers on OP?
I dont remember what my anticipated opening day roster was. I will need to track down that post.

I know I had Szapucki on the opening day roster, though. He doesn’t have any options remaining.

So I guess my question would be, if Szapucki isn't ready, do you foresee the Giants carrying 12 pitchers and another position player or them filling in that 13th spot with someone like Waites (if ready) or another guy in camp?

I would need to look at my roster analysis. We are under a pretty hard roster crunch, so asset protection absolutely comes into play in that scenario.

I think the Perez/Sabol situation is a possible area that can be addressed if Szapucki is not ready for opening day.
