Rivas, Effross called up

Bote to IL. Meisinger and Jewell DFAd.

 

Glad Rivas is getting the call finally. And good for Effross. He's been in the system for 6 years, now gets a shot.

This is fun! I'm not totally sure why Rivas is just now getting the call, but regardless he'll be good to see. I don't think he's ever going to have the power for 1B, but I'd run him out there in the corner outfield every day because if he's fine out there defensively he'll be a great first guy off the bench.

 

Effross was just a nondescript dude, but changed to a side armer I believe during the 2019/2020 offseason and took off. As a side armer he's clearly got platoon issues, but that's fine as long as you hold expectations in check accordingly.

I feel we could probably add this to some sort of permanent loop along with "The Polanco" from a few years back...maybe sync it up with some beats.

On the plus side I believe this now means Bote can throw 110 mph when he heals

Management: "We're calling up Effross."
