2014 Roster Discussion

Or they can just keep start him on the DL and keep him in Extended Spring.

[Clem Fandango]

That too, I suppose.

[davell]

Ryan Roberts is lingering and Mooney says he's making a push. If Olt is optioned or DL'd, that's the last bench spot.

[Guest]

He still needs to beat out one of Kalish or Bonifacio. Or Murphy, I guess.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Kalish was already optioned to Iowa.

[d_money]

How could Castro be ready to go for opening day after only seeing live pitching for 6 games?

Just until Nate gets traded. They may have lucked-into a very nice 3rd / 4th OF'er with Kalish.

 

I really want to see Olt stick on the roster. If this team has any chance to be decent they are going to need guys with high-ceilings to play well, as opposed to squeezing the dry-sponge re-treads that also populate the roster. To that end, I'll take 66- 75% of Olt's potential production over 90% of Murphy's.

I hope he doesn't sink our chances at the division.

How long would you expect a rehab assignment to be if he were injured in the regular season?

Ryan Kalish is not a nice 3rd OF by even our standards.

You forgot the green font. Some folks around here are grinding their teeth and might not understand.

 

Seriously, the only reason not to start Castro is if he's in danger of further injury. This team will need to be very lucky to compete for a WC. Might as well trot out the most talented players every day.

That's the high-end / best-case scenario. More realistically, he could be Sweeney.

Since this is ST, maybe longer

Huh?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Huh, I missed this. Are you sure? TCR still has him as an NRI in camp.

 

And given that he's an NRI and not on the 40-man, I don't think they could option him to Iowa regardless.

Saw it in the transactions thread yesterday. Not sure of the source.

It's a really old Simpsons line. Thought that May have been a bit obscure

if they were still running the 90's simpsons regularly in syndication, i totally would've been all over that.

 

i had to stop DVRing it when they started showing almost exclusively more recent ones. can't remember the last time i've watched an episode now.
