August, the Orioles, and the Trade Deadline all arrive: BAL @ TEX 8/1-3

[scotsman1948]

I suppose they don't consider Solak a vet

don't consider him part of the future either

 

[DT LUNA]

don't consider him part of the future either

Understand but you don't make those decisions

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

problem is benching Calhoun, Miller and Culberson doesn't open up 13-man spots on the roster we need to open up spots so we can bring guys up

No we don't need to bring any position players up right now

 

[Senator_fan]

Angels send Iglesias to Braves. Salary dump.

 

[scotsman1948]

No we don't need to bring any position players up right now

over the next 60 games we need to be looking at those prospects that should be up here. Bubba Thompson needs to be brought up and a couple of others. no one is going to get to play all 60 games but we should be seeing them for at least 40-45 games so they can be graded. the only set in stone players come next season are Semien, Seager, Garcia and probably Heim and Lowe as near set in stone with probably Tveras

 

[Kelleyman]

To me, it all depends on how he hits in LA. If he hits anywhere close to as poorly as he hit in NY it would shock me if he got a big league contract. If he did, it would be a one year deal at close to minimum with incentives.

I am saying when he goes to LAD he might start off with a minor league stint to work on swing. That has nothing to do with MLB or MILB contract. I think he can refuse but I don’t think he would

Just an opinion

I don't agree

I was talking about what happens to him next year.

 

[Kelleyman]

that's squarely on Boras.

That is why you can’t always go with what the agent says

 

[scotsman1948]

I don't agree

with what part? the part about DFA'ing Calhoun, Miller & Culberson and bring up 3 more prospects

or the 45 game part

or who is set in stone

[Kelleyman]

They’d better extend both Moore and Perez or these moves don’t make any sense at all.

Sometimes you don’t trade on principle. You become a pushover if you accept lowball offers

 

[Kelleyman]

Can't say I'm bothered with the lack of moves. They need Perez and Moore to finish out the year here.

They can still run guys through waivers to generate a trade methinks

 

[Kelleyman]

Wonder where Acuna, Foscue and Ornelas are gonna play?

AAA

 

[DTC]

This information that DTC posted a request days back gives a good overview of the 40 man decisions to be made.

I see 5 free agents who probably won’t be back. All but Perez
And 5 on the 40 man fringe
All but Santana, Allard and Howard.. but even if they don’t make the team next year it would be ok.

There should be 10 spots open on the 40.

Should be enough to protect rule 5 guys right?

 

[saddles]

This information that DTC posted a request days back gives a good overview of the 40 man decisions to be made.

I don't think we have to worry about adding Weems, Englert, or Bradford.

I don't think any of those 5 "prospects on the fringe" need to be added.

Of those listed as current 40 man on the frings I can see them keeping Santana, Howard, and Walker and allowing the other 5 to be dismissed.

We might bring back 3 of the free agents, allowing the other 3 to leave.

I think that gets us to 39. Trade Walker and Howard and you are at 37. It would be very manageable from that point.

 

[Kelleyman]

So the return on Gallo the second time pales a bit eh?

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

with what part? the part about DFA'ing Calhoun, Miller & Culberson and bring up 3 more prospects

or who is set in stone

Bringing up 3 more guys to get regular MLB ABs

 

[Senator_fan]

Syndergaard to Phillies for outfielder Moniak. 20 million salary dump.

 

[DTC]

Let’s go Cole!
