Do we go ahead and just ope up the roster and bring up JPM?

Or do we platoon Robbie and Janks
Surely not bringing up Carter

This injury is why it made zero sense to include Duran in any trade package
It's also why I wanted to improve the bench at the deadline. I don't think there was anyone available though, due to the lack of sellers, due to the stinking third WC.

Foscue is not even on the roster
Don’t think he is the guy. Maybe Jonathon O or Harris or do we bite the bullet on JPM?

You seem angry. Miserable, even.

His hitting is my concern but he has started to lmprove.
Yep. And maybe settling in at one position allows him to focus a bit more. In the meantime, we wait and see about Jung.

They can fix that though. Ornelas didn't belong there to begin with. Miller could go to 60 day. Bubba could be DFAed.

Looking at that Ornelas makes the most sense because he’s already on the 40. The rest would have to be added and they might have to DFA Miller to open a spot
They were talking about him on the radio. He has not hit well this season. He seems more like a DFA candidate to me.

Probably but wouldn’t it make more sense to DFA Miller?

Duran will be fine. Don't think Smith hits well enough to play him everyday.

You could be right, but usually guys hit better when played on a regular basis. I would expect Smith to improve, but by how much is hard to say.
