OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Dull days of July

[ChaosAgent]

It's been eons since Cruz or Reynolds has hit a homer, but the team has stabilized regardless. Nice.

After some rough losses against tough competition, Luis Ortiz is proving that his rebound season is no fluke. He belongs in our starting rotation in 2025, unless he can bring us the CF bat we desperately need.

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Oh no!

-No one

 

[Smoke]

The fielding / baserunning specialist who couldn't field / baserun is gone?

Yes!

Please don't suck Davis

Bart late blooming gives me hope

Jones on Tuesday and Davis up can DH some sounds good to me
Ortiz might lock up the 4th rotation spot
Oviedo Harrington Ashcraft which one brings the best hitter back

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Oh wow, I completely forgot about Oviedo.

 

[Factorial]

Oh wow, I completely forgot about Oviedo.

He's forgettable and I doubt he would fetch much in return.

Him and Falter are cheap depth and that’s worth something

 

[Empoleon8771]

Oviedo's probably going to be a reliever for them next year

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Davis is coming up for Bart, but who is coming up for Taylor?

Yorke?

Yorke?

Technically Taylor on the 40 man unless he is claimed. Probably hoping a playoff team takes his remaining contract
Would dump tellez this way too

 

[Factorial]

I agree.

 

[MrBrightside]

I'd be 100% for moving on from Taylor but who the hell will they play in CF? Bae has been even worse than Taylor. Suwinski is hitting like .180 in AAA. I don't know if Gorski can handle a large major league CF and they seem hesitant to give him a look and he's almost certainly a AAAA guy at best. Can't be anyone else currently on the roster.

I figure Yorke comes up, he's been playing mostly CF for Indy and has a .904 OPS for them since being acquired.

Cook is another option, he's a more natural OF that is hitting a bit better than Yorke for Indy as well (.923 OPS). It will likely be one of those two.

Ifk played cf in the majors

He has. But they also don't currently have a 3B and if you're playing Triolo you're not upgrading.

I can't really see Cook but yes, Yorke would be a good call. I'd prefer to see that than more Taylor.

If we assume Nick G comes back to play 2nd. You have cook and York. You can get away with trilo at 3rd for the rest of the season

You can get away with anything. Playing Triolo at 3B instead of Taylor in CF is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

And yet when I'm there no one announces it.

[GilbertSeinfeld]

Jake Woodford has been DFA'd, so that experiment is over.
