Great point, so he definitely has to be activated earlier than my guess. I think he can be activated July 2 and still get the 90 days in though. That would give him 30 days in July, 21 in Huly and 29 in September.

Of course, that means he couldn't go on the DL at all after he comes back. If he could be healthy enough by mid-June that would give them some wiggle room in case he did need another 15-day stint at some point.
Yeah and you can add a couple players in September to not expose pen a s much if I remember correctly

That will come in handy. It would only really cause a problem if he got hurt again in July or August.

What kind of a pen are we looking at after Mahle comes back? Maybe:

Yates
Robertson
Sborz
Leclerc
Urena
Coleman
Heaney
Gray
Bradford or Lorenzen


That is one too many That also leaves out Latz. It also assumes no trade deadline pickups. Someone will likely be hurt by then so I doubt we will have too many.

I definitely want to keep Bradford in the starting rotation.

We need to make sure we have LHP available

More than one
Who do you want to replace with a lefty? And which lefty do you have in mind?

Also, come playoff time, Bradford will be in the pen. In fact, Bradford most likely goes to the pen when deGrom is activated.

So I know we would have Eovaldi, Scherzer (if he stays healthy), deGrom and who are your other two? I would think that Bradford right now is right behind Eovaldi.

I think Mahle is in there ahead of Bradford. As fat as after deGrom comes back, during the regular season, it is hard to say who the 5th guy will be. Between now and then a lot could change, but it is hard for me to see Bochy sticking with the young guy over that many veterans.

It will be a lot of fun to see who pitches the best between now and then.

When Sborz comes back, it will be interesting to see if White or Pruitt goes down. I guess when Bradford makes it back, both White and Pruitt will be back in Round Rock.

Lefties hit Sale better than righties did last year and this year lefties are slugging about 110 points higher than righties are against him.

Bochy sure favors Taveras.

Not thinking Pruitt has options
