I don't see the appeal in Bourn. I think he only came back because no one else wanted him.

Yacabonis would be a good addition. I'd leave Yaz for a bit to get more time to build up from his surgery.

There is no way Yaz is ready. He needs more time.

Yep, that's why I said to give him more time. I would consider adding Giavatella, especially if Schoop and/or Hardy get a bit more banged up. There are enough outfielders, but Gia has speed and good defense. Could be a pinch runner without making Flaherty your only infield option.

Both Yastrzemski and Yacanonis will need to be added to the 40 man roster over the winter or they could be taken in the rule 5 draft. I will agree that Yaz may need more time, however it would give Buck some first hand look at him. It would also give Bourn 2-3 weeks to get the rust off.

Yacabonis will probably be on the 40 man at some point this season.  

Yastrzemski doesn't have the upside IMO to be a rule 5 candidate and he's already 26.  He's an organizational player.

In my hypothetical, it would be Castillo and Pena for a while. 

Michael.  Come on.   They are not sending Caleb down when he is hitting like this.    Pena will go on waivers or be traded is my bet.

Simply an option. To option.  If you chose to keep Pena.

      That's an incredibly harsh response to a remarkably thoughtful poster who was quoting a rather reputable pod cast that was asserting an extremely controversial subject. You have definitely lived up to your moniker. You could have just disagreed without taking a personal shot.

      In continuance of the discussion in the Bradisch thread re: Cowser as an "elite" OF: I think as the game slows for him he will be an plus defender in LF, hopefully with the Orioles.  However I argued his arm is not yet reliable and while there are little or no stats available that measure accuracy (as opposed to velocity) Savant places him around ~90th among OF's for the most important stat-advance attempts-far behind Hays whose arm is much more respected at #10, Tony and even Mullins "noodle arm" rate much higher.  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/baserunning?type=Fld&sortColumn=rate_safe&sortDirection=asc  In each of the measurable arm metrics (other than velocity) he is far from "elite".  For advances/attempts to advance above average/succesful advances he is around ~90 in MLB and last among Orioles OF. When you juxtapose Hays's numbers onto CC one thing is evident-Hays has a well earned rep and guys generally don't run on him-guys at this point don't respect CC's arm.

      I suspect it's because Urias has been hitting much better. I think Westburg/Mateo is better defensively, but it's not a big gap. Good chance this will be a close, low-scoring game. I like having Mateo on the bench in a close game so he can create a run, and some havoc, as a pinch-runner (especially when Mullins is in the starting lineup). Though it doesn't show in the boxscore, his feints from first base were a big factor yesterday.

      Without doing any research this has been a feeling I have had too.    It is almost like the bats are trained for world class competition but when .475 clubs throw today's Joe Saunderses it can mess up the calibration. Throwing Cody Bradford and Andrew Heaney against the Orioles lineup probably isn't a sustainable October strategy. The hitting pitching balance Elias has kept so far, I agree it is more on Gunnar and Adley to lead the group beating the world's best pitchers. I hope Gunnar gets a Strahm rematch today after yesterday's first ball hack.    If the World Series is 7 close games, Gunnar probably sees Strahm 4-5 times.

      “Preferred catcher” then. Would have been insanity to start McCann today.

      Can Cook be a serviceable utility guy at the ML level?  His offensive numbers are better at Triple-A than in previous minor league seasons.
