Just got released. Would anyone take him over Gentry as a backup OF and base stealer? That would make our LF/RF options Mancini (R), Trumbo (R), Rasmus (L), Revere (L), Santander (R)

Could be for if they shut Bundy down. He's a better option than Tillman right now.

Steve Pearce will save us. We could use a right-handed bat to replace Reimold (who ought to be cut) at this point. Another of the Delmon Young/Lew Ford/Danny Valencia/Steve Tolleson mold.

Taylor Teagarden

Kim Machado Jones Davis Trumbo Schoop Alvarez/Pearce Wieters Hardy is my lineup for the rest of the year. There's no need for Jones to leadoff anymore.

I like Parra, Joseph and Givens quite a bit. I do not think Urrutia, Clevenger, Lake, or Paredes are nuggets. I would shell out for Davis, Parra, and Pearce this offseason.

Hey Tony, are you a fan of Zach Davies? I'm finding it difficult to decipher from your posts.

I'm normally a wet blanket about prospects but I'm officially excited about Chance Sisco and Jomar Reyes.

None yet. I'm a bit younger than Manny. I believe Rougned Odor or Jurickson Profar was the first major leaguer to be younger than me. Can never remember which.

What's the record for IP to start a career without allowing a HR? Wilson is at 24 2/3 now. I like him in the 6th starter/mopup role. I don't trust him with any more than that.

I hadn't heard anything about that. In fact, Dan said he received a great character recommendation about Parra. I take it you have some inside information that the teams weren't enamored with him? Blink twice for yes

I don't think it's fair to make judgments about a player based on the fact that he was traded. For Milwaukee, the trade was a no brainer. He's a decent player who is going to be a FA on a team going nowhere. The Orioles offered a B prospect for him. That's just good business. When he got traded from Arizona, they had AJ Pollock, Ender Inciarte, David Peralta, Mark Trumbo, Cody Ross, and Parra all competing for 3 spots in the outfield. They're a small-market team and looked at this year and saw Inciarte, Pollock, and Peralta all pre-arbitration and made the obvious choice to trade Parra.

Davies for Parra is no more of an overpay than ERod for Miller was. I would be very disappointed. I'd much rather go after Ben Revere.

You are correct. I thought Revere was a free agent after this year. Hess and Bridwell perhaps.
