Its time to promote Chris Parmelee (Activated, Chen to Frederick)


wildcard

Recommended Posts

Everyone makes good points but I still put my money on phantom injury. It's a long season....

Remember when our offense was struggling....imagine if Parmalee had been here that whole time. I know Buck speaks of his daily conversations with RJ, just shocked he wasn't brought up earlier or before Reimold.

I thought at the time of his injury, he was season over.

I think its safe to say, with the team winning, there is more of a chance they sit back and not rush him back.

Well once his rehab begins he only has the 20 days unless a subsequent injury occurs on the rehab assignment.

Doesn't he still have options, they could option him to AAA and say something about allowing him more time to get up to full baseball speed.

How does it screw Chen?

If you were him, wouldn't you expect to be given the opportunity to compete against the best opponents and be treated like one of the most indispensable players on the team - rather than being placed on a minor league team? If he had some type of injury that'd be one thing, but he says he's fine, and he just came off a strong 8 inning performance. I think most players in his situation would consider that being at least mildly screwed.

I suspect Chen understands the situation and that the tweet was totally Boras.

The tweet was in English.

Just IMO.

True they could option him but I doubt it ends up happening unless he looks terrible on his rehab.

Perhaps. But it isn't like this is the first time Buck has moved Chen around in the rotation to prevent certain matchup or to get more rest. And this is the second time Chen has been sent down for roster manipulations. Sure could it suck from his view but I doubt he thinks he is getting screwed.

    • My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen.
    • But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.
    • I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?
    • I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?  
    • Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
    • Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.
    • Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.
