Absolutely he could be. Of course I'm greedy. If we can upgrade I would like to upgrade. I brought up Gattis yesterday and would love to add the Dallas native and his power as a C/DH.

I guess we will just wait and see what Telis does for the rest of the year. I'm not as high on Robinson as some. He's been solid and is cheap though. He's not throwing out runners like he was earlier in the year.

Chirinos may be wearing down. I like him but more so as a platoon player and not an everyday starter. I am fine with us doing that at catcher unless we have someone who just stands out to the point of them starting 2 out of every 3 games.

Soto might still come back. He was a FA and they got some cash for him. JPA is done as a catcher in the majors I think. If he's going to play going forward it's a 1B.

I agree. But my point was, if Telis wasn't going to catch but a few games, then why is he here?

Agree.

At best, he's a 100 game type catcher for us in 2015.

Don't stop with Telis. Get Rua up here. We know what kind of a player Rosales is. Let Rua get his feet wet. He can play all IF positions too.


Carp can be released for all I care.

Um no.

I love when Colby pitches well and vindicates my love for him. He gets way too much shit from some lousy fans. Not calling any of you lousy. That's directed at some ESPN jokers.

Pretty big fan too.....but he let's one land in the seats and makes us both feel not as good as we did.

Com'on Colby.....get the CG

Um yes. I would love to hear your reasoning to advocate starting Rosales, JPA, and Carp at 1st the remainder of the year.

I say let Rosales finish out the year. Hitting over .300 and playing pretty good defense.

Nothing like a whiff to end a game. Nicely done.

We know what we have in him though. I have no problem with Rosales and the way he's been playing. I wish they all played the game like him, and didn't take it for granted. There's room for Rosales and Rua to get some time in the IF. Rua has played a lot of 3rd too. Beltre could DH.

Give Rua a shot in ST. Rosters will expand in a few days and they might call him up anyway, but I doubt they will be doing anything drastic.

No need to do anything to fuck with his development. He's coasting along just fine.

I'm not suggesting anything drastic. I just think now is the perfect time to be giving youngsters a look at the ML level. I don't give a shit if Carp and JPA play anymore the rest of the year because I hope neither is on the team next year. Although, we might lose more games to end the year with them in there.

Never mind if any of these kids are ready for a ML look. I mean, Choice's time in the bigs was so beneficial for him.
