I thought the other day he wasn't happy with the results in batting practice...which is why Buck started Delmon Young in that game?

Who wasn't happy? Buck or Steve?

The guy hasn't he even batted yet...LOL. Way to keep him "fresh". We all know Young and Pearce are redundant..but come on. He can get an at bat some where at least...

For the record, I would keep one of Young and Pearce and get Weeks up here. He is hot, can get on base (at least walk) and sounds like play some OF too (not sure on how well he is in the OF though-would love some feedback there).

Buck has to try and find AB's for Pearce? Isn't this just a case for not having him on the team. I like Pearce but he has no role. He's just keeping a spot on the bench warm for his replacement. He could lose his spot when Machado comes back if they decide to keep all three of Schoop, Flaherty, and Lombardozzi. Even if he survives that, I think he's in great jeopardy when either of Peguero or Almanzar are ready to come back. The fact that Pearce is not even being used, is ammunition for carrying the Rule 5 pick.

Agree with most of this, but Peguero is not a legit contender to be on this team, especially as long as Jones and Lough are healthy.

Does anyone else find it borderline crazy that Pearce has not played? Why not just carry another pitcher or Weeks (who I would select) or Q Berry who can pinch run-even another catcher would be more valuable-makes zero sense.

I thought Buck was supposed to do a better job this year of keeping his bench players fresh?

I saw him once. I tried to snap a photo but it was all blurry.

You know something weird, though? I've never seen Steve Pearce and Superman in the same room together. For that matter, I've never seen Pearce and Batman in the same room together.

You've certainly seen this guy and Pearce at the same time.

      Winter 2023 40-Man Additions

      By MurphDogg · Posted

      I don't think Tate will get non-tendered. He had a 3.05 ERA in 2022 and will certainly not receive much of a raise from $1.5M in his second year of arbitration, given that he was injured all season. I think he retains his 40-man roster spot. I see no reason to non-tender Joey Krehbiel. He isn't arbitration eligible, still has options remaining for next year, and pitched fine in AAA and in the Majors this season so he is a fine option to ride the Norfolk-Baltimore shuttle for another year. Zimmermann also is not arbitration eligible and has options remaining, but hasn't pitched as well this year in Baltimore or Norfolk, so his roster spot is at risk with additions, but no need to non-tender him until we need the space since he won't make more than the minimum. I could be talked into bringing back Jorge Lopez, but not at arbitration prices, so I agree that he will be non-tendered. Flaherty, Gibson and Hicks are free agents and all come off automatically. So that drops us to 39, with Zimmermann probably the next man off. Vespi, Baker, Stowers, Vavra and McKenna (who doesn't have options remaining so he can't be sent down next year) are probably next on the chopping block. Mike Baumann and Cole Irvin are also out of options next season, so their spots aren't particularly secure either.

      What do we do about Jorge Mateo?

      Had similar thoughts as the play was unfolding. I could see the short throw coming.

      I'm surprise he doesn't apply for food stamps.

      Grayson Rodriguez Expectations

      Kyle Tucker has a higher OPS vs lefties than righties this year. Alvarez’s OPS is less vs lefties but it’s still 900.  If it’s Houston, I’m pitching my 2 best guys immediately and in fact, since Gibson and Kremer have pitched well Vs Houston, I may not start Means at all in that series. That said, it’s looking more and more like it’s going to be Tor or Tampa.

      This is a vent.  It seems any ball hit to Jorge Mateo’s right requires the 2-3 steps and the obligatory off balance throw.   Last night he gets a grounder he didn’t even have to range very far for but had to go for style points and one hopped a throw to Santander.  To top it off it was an in between hop that Santander couldn’t come up with.  Thankfully, Santander was alert and threw out the lead runner attempting on advance to third.   I feel there are just too many plays where Mateo goes out of his way to make the off balance throw instead of simply planting and using his strong arm to make a difficult but pretty routine ML play.   Rant over.

      None on this list or beyond that I'd really lose much sleep over.  Haskins is a bubble guy because he can play CF.  I wouldn't be surprised either way though... Brnovich and Young seem to have some more upside in them as well.   What about a Moises Chace?  It would be a stretch because he's in low A Delmarva now.  20 y/o with a live arm.  FG shows he's R5 eligible this Dec.
