Hopefully he's just here to be the fourth outfielder (perhaps at the expense of Urrutia). Pearce has earned the chance to be the regular LF for the rest of the season.

Alvarez likely offers more than Urrutia defensively at least.

I just looked we face three lefties in the Rangers series so that gives us another righty.

I figured it would happen but it sounds like he may be joining the team in Texas. Pearce is playing well so not sure where he fist in.

Before Sept. callups. Urrutia down? Hamels and Perez (two LHP's) scheduled to start against us Games 1 and 2. Urrutia back up when rosters expand?

Facing three lefties in Texas.

Yeah we are a bit lefty heavy right now. I expect Rondon to go down and Alvarez added to the roster on Friday. I am not sure what happens with Clevenger. I also wonder if the wrist issue with Parra could be a bit worse then we know.

Maybe they have seem enough with Urrutia?

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
