So I should have implicitly stated that they shouldn't trade him away if they feel he is a fit going forward? I'll take your critique under advisement.

I think they have enough guys coming up hard from behind that Stowers is a piece that can be moved. They are putting Westburg in the outfield now even.

It's weird, when I say something like "Trade him" instead of "Give him away" I expect folks to be able to figure it out without further explanation.

I didn't say give him away. If he's not seen as a part of the team going forward they should attempt to get value for him.

Why did they wait to put Mountcastle at first?

Why did they wait with Mountcastle?

They can last longer than two days.

Why? Other than to soothe his ego why? I know folks here have this weird Mountcastle bias thing going on but why? Also, this is Bemboom's BBref page. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bemboan01.shtml He doesn't need to be on the roster.

I read it as they are not sure McCann is 100% healthy. Which, if true, should lead to McCann having a rehab stint. Is this a respect the vet thing?

Extremely limited. Does any other team carry three catchers these days? At least with Stowers you got a guy that can PH and run into one.

McCann should not be the DH. Ever. He's a backup catcher now.

With his superior range he can get to a lot more of them.

They have more players that deserve to be in the majors than spots and yet BemBoom is still on the roster.

If they aren't going to play him they should trade him. He'd probably rather stay up and not play over being demoted.

Insurance for what? If McCann is healthy there is no reason for Bemboom to be on the roster, when would you want to play him?

Why would they want a third catcher?

I don't think Druw was the consensus best player. Didn't some experts doubt the hit tool? I don't care how good the other four tools are if you can't hit...

It will be the injury more than struggling. I think a healthy McCain gets a lot of rope.

I don't think there is a place for him on this season's roster without further injuries.

Lineup order doesn't have much of an effect on runs scored. I'd rather Gunnar get more at bats.

Isn't this the part where folks say "You can't expect to beat the Yankees only scoring one run."?

Maybe if enough Yankee fans show up they can afford some better free agents next offseason?

He's got a career ERA just south of 5. He had a hot stretch last year, this is probably better indicative of who he is.

Sure it is, the version that had a 10.13 ERA for the Nats.

Maybe he's not giving in?
