Wow, that was quick. Sorry to see Caleb go but I hope he gets his plate approach back and gets some RBIs with more ABs at Norfolk. I wonder what he would have done this year if we weren't committed to playing Wieters full time in his walk year.

Caleb might be the worst hitter in the American League this year. I don't see why you would want him to bat more. It is like saying Jiminez doesnt' get to pitch enough.

I want Caleb to bat more at AAA. I would also be absolutely delighted for Ubaldo to pitch 200 innings at Norfolk.

Joseph had a very solid year offensively and defensively last year as well as 2014. I am more inclined to think his 100 ABs (most of which came after getting surgery on his testicles) are more of a fluke than his previous numbers.

The only problem with this year at this time is that the Triple A season is almost over too. Plus, they called up Austin Wynns from Frederick, who is a very good defensive catcher and has been improving with the bat at all levels this season. They also have a healthy Audrey Perez. So Caleb will be down there for maybe a week, then back up to ride the bench, while getting no real work in Norfolk unless he DH's and takes at bats from Mancini, Walker, or someone else.

Austin was just called up to fill Pena's spot.

So he'll be sent back to Frederick as soon as Joseph unpacks his bags, or will he stick around for the 4 days after the September 1st call ups if they bring Joseph back up?

I don't know. But they have roster sizes too up until the Sept 1 call ups.

      Who really cares what the payroll is?  And if you do,  why?  If we hadn't been swept out of the playoffs would we even be arguing this?  In the end the amount the Os pay isn't the issue or problem.  It's how the team performs on the field.  Sure we all know that payroll and wins have a fairly strong correlation to each other,  but it isn't exact or perfect at all.   Should we increase payroll?  Sure,  provided you makes the team better.  But increasing the payroll while not improving the team by doing so seems goofy.   Sign a #1 or #2, absolutely.   Move on from the platoon at 1st with a guy who can take up one roster spot and hit both rhp and lhp,  like Walker?  Sign me up.  Sign an impact OF and split at bats between Mullins, Cowser, Kjerstad and him?  Sounds good to me.   Replace Mountcastle with just a more expensive version of the same?  What's the point?  Sign an expensive pitcher to replace Povich with the same results?  Why,  other then a depth move?  I'm all for signing free agents and spending money,  just do it wisely and don't do it just to say we signed someone.   Actually improve the team or stand pat.  Making moves just to make moves is how you end up with Rogers types. Payroll matters, yeah.   But winning matters more.   If we can win with a 100M payroll, fine.   If it needs to be 200M to win,  that's fine with me too.  Just win games,  and let the window we have stay open as long as possible... and most importantly win the WS for the first time since 1983.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      If service time comes into play he would not be Arb eligible until 2026. No reason to  tender, just pick him up at Min wage.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.

      Jim'sKid26 ok down in Ashville

      By George Zuverink · Posted

      Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .
