Drew names out of a hat?

I went ahead and made an offseason thread because there has already been a lot of discussion about offseason topics.

The Res have lost. Our Magic Number to keep the 8th pick and not move to the 7th pick remains at 1. One win by us or a loss by the Red tomorrow keeps us at #8.

Is this really magic? Blasphemy

 

[Kelleyman]

Really don't care about argument that Beltre will block players. Surely there is room for him on 2019 team in a limited role.

How many times a week do you think he would be willing to ride the bench?

Not many but we just do not need this situation. Time to cut the cord and move on.

Manager.

How many times a week do you think he would be willing to ride the bench?

2 times makes sense to me. Plays 3B 2x. DH 3
Choo DH 4 OF 2 times. Injuries come into play.

Profar plays 6 times a week and can play 2 and short 1 time.

Maybe not reasonable if everyone is healthy but usual there is someone out.

He looks like a guy who can still play the game. He might get another HR today or tomorrow.

Beltre knows he can't play 3B full time anymore. If for some reason we can move Choo, Beltre is an ideal DH

So you are wanting to cut Calhoun loose then because his primary position would be DH?

To me, we really don't need Adrian or Choo on the team next year and we certainly don't need both. That is the case whether Beltre can still play or not.

Choo blocks Calhoun more then Beltre. RHB vs LHB. I don't want to block Calhoun. Competition is not bad and speaking more about next year more than 2020. Yes it may stunt development.

Don't have all the answers Just rather have Beltre on roster more than Rua. We may lose a LHB via trade too.

Trying to keep options open

I mentioned it because you said if Choo is traded it opened up DH for Adrian. That seems to indicate you want to either trade Calhoun or send him to AAA for a third year which is unheard of for a legitimate prospect for the most part.

Rua being on the roster provides you with a backup at several positions and he doesn't block anyone from the bench. Beltre on the roster provides you with a guy who is a fairly regular player who takes the place of other players with a future.

 

[saddles]

The Magic Number remains at 1.

 

[saddles]

A third of a way through each game the Magic Number is in danger of not changing.

Rua sucks. Him being on the roster blocks someone more deserving

 

[Kelleyman]

Guzman has had a good onening season but I would not call it tremendous. His defense he brought was great but that was expected. He gave us more than we expected on offense but would not say tremendous as referenced by announcer

You interjected yourself into a discussion and took one minute point and ran away to another conversation with it.
