Roch is pointing at Cabrera as the guy who goes to make room for Flaherty. I would not bet on it. With Hardy and Flaherty both having problems staying healthy Cabrera may be the teams best backup SS.

I previously said that one of the outfielders would probably be DL'd. I still think that is possible or one of them gets DFA'd.

Well done, sir. Ahead of Roch. Somebody rep this guy.

Parmalee would be the easy choice, since he is hitting at AAA and isn't an OF.

Hinges on on healthy JJ really is.

I definitely think Parmalee deserves a callup. Guy has been consistently good all year with the bat. Problem is, we already have an all-hit, no field guy....so I think Jimmy might have to be hurt, Davis or Young for that to happen. We will see.

I would have no problem whatsoever with Young DFA to call up Parmelee.

Is Paredes really that bad at 2nd?

Granted, I don't want Parmelee playing 3rd, so either he bats DH, or they bring up Reimold.

I never thought that I'd be so happy about Ryan Flaherty returning, but this is very welcome news. It means that Steve Pearce can be the everyday right fielder and that Delmon Young can return to his proper pinch hitting/platoon role.

No reason to keep Cabrera up. Flaherty can slide over to SS and Pearce can return to 2B in a pinch, and Cabrera will be only a phone call away if Hardy is hurt for an extended period.

    • I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.
    • I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
    • I’m getting Gunnar as many PA’s as possible.    Gunnar Westburg O’Hearn Santander Mullins Mountcastle Rutschman Cowser Urias
    • I agree with the idea of stacking lefties in the lineup but O'Hearn scares me at 1st.  One misplay on a ball in the dirt and that may be the game.   I am one also that wouldn't mind seeing Holiday in the lineup as the DH.  We need people to get on base and he started tapping into that ability at the end of the season.  
    • Without looking, I bet your holiday was worse
    • Mullins should absolutely Lead Off Today. Keep westburg 2nd then Gunnar, Tony, O'hearn, Adley, Cowser, Kjerstad, Holliday. Try to jump these guys early.
