Who Goes When Gausman Returns?

[mdbdotcom]

One thing Reimold does have going for him is that he is RH. If they let him go then either Snider or Parmelee has to play vs a lefty. One of Wieters/Paredes will sit and Lough and Flaherty won't play.

Snider's career OPS splits:

.716 vs RHP (1,6009 PA)

.706 vs LHP (311 PA)

I hear you but so far Buck hasn't played him much vs lefties.

I would think either Reimold or Lough. My money is on Reimold, and like someone else above said, he may slip through waivers.

Not Parmalee. He's cheap, under control, left-handed, and plays a mean 1B.

Reimold, Pearce, Lough, or what Olehippi suggested above.

Nolan should be the one. IMO

Nolan Reimold has been reduced to working in a platoon, but he also plays all three outfield spots and has underrated speed and some important supporters in the organization.

It's always interesting to watch these things play out. I miss Delmon.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Delmon back after the deadline or in late August and come up in September. If we make a move for one or two everyday starters then we won't have to carry all these corner OF's. We need a debt consolidation trade. Our 40 man roster come September is going to be legit.

Flaherty is my prediction to go down. But Reimold should be the one to go. Just looking ahead at the probable starters we'll be facing, we'll only see one lefty before the 31st. Matt Moore against the Rays. We could possibly see another in the braves series. So we're looking at Reimold only playing 2 games until the 31st.

I really hate to admit it and see it, but Reimold will probably be gone. Makes me sad.

He might be gone now and back in September.

Maybe they just cut Norris since he has already cost us both games he came in in relief.

He's been gone before. And Healthy gone before.

Being a part of platoon as the right handed part of it give yo almost no -playing time in the AL East an American league in general. It is to the point now that you get to play as much as the back up catcher and have no chance to stay sharp. You may gt a pinch hit appearece he or there and one start a week.

[bpilktree]

There is 12 lefties that qualify so far this season besides Chen. Which gives you about 1 per team and then if you do get to face a lefty 6 of those 12 have ERA's under 2.86.

[ArtVanDelay]

I seriously doubt they DFA Norris considering we're already playing with just 11 pitchers. They could DFA Norris and bring up Givens but a position player would still need to go for Gausman.

The team has too many platoon players who aren't very good. Flaherty and Lough both belong on the team because they are serviceable backups (and Lough can play center). The other 4 guys - Snider, Pearce, Reimold and Parmele aren't very good players lol. That said, it makes the most sense for Parmele or Reimold.

Off topic but I still shake my head that Travis Snider was THE offseason acquisition.

I really like Travis Snider.

And the offseason acquisition was keeping Chris Davis.
