The Grill adding Trout and Angel Food Cake to the menu: LAA @ TEX 5/16-18

So, he is afraid both will get hurt in the same game? If that is the case we are going to eventually be better off trading one and getting a backup who can start maybe 30 to 40 games a year. That is, if we get proper value in the trade. I would rather trade that value for value that can play more than 80 games a year or so.

I don't know who floated the idea out there, it was just a random internet comment. I guess the idea was based around keeping the backup C on the bench.

We should be OK when Garver returns unless Huff goes back down.

Garver can't catch any time soon. No one knows how long. Maybe a couple of months.

If you have a good hitter on the bench every game that seems very counter intuitive to me. That would seem to be an asset that would be better used in a trade.

Also, I am not sure they keep hitting well with an even split

I hope Huff gets a plate appearance or 2 this game. He seems to be hot with the bat. Surely a LHP from the Halo pen will appear

Things can be manipulated especially bring the home team.

When does trade season start?

Sweeping the mighty LAA would be a WS to me.

Lots of schools of thought about the situation

Great for the Rangers but also helps the Astros. Bittersweet.

Can't have it both ways and this is likely the best chance to sweep either one.lol

It has been awhile since we have wanted two catchers' bats in the lineup at the same time.

 

[Kelleyman]

Ok @saddles who do you want t to trade now, Huff or Garver? Or am I missing something?

Yes and isn't it nice?

Garver is currently untradeable with his injury. The thought is, that it would be a waste to keep one of Huff's bat and Heim's bat on the bench every game.

I agree for now but it we will PH Huff today for a LHB I am ok.
Don’t mind the flip flop of Miller and White. Semien needs to go down in the lineup I think Maybe after home stand if this is his chance to rebound.

 

[Kelleyman]

Bring Garver up when ready to DH. Send Solak down

Huff stays up if he is catching regularly
