Well, this is an organization run but DD so it's doubtful he's giving up on the season already. I like Rodriguez a bit, but I'd rather see him get everyday ABs in AAA before he's in consideration for a job in Baltimore even though he is pretty hot.

Would he be likely to be taken in the Rule 5 Draft?

You have to imagine Pedro will get the call up. Trumbo goes to first, Mancini stays in left field, Alvarez is the DH. 

Makes sense, except what do you see as the lineup when a lefty faces us?

Good point. Bring up Mullins.

I'd like Mullins to still be under team control when they get good again.

They could just let Kim play more and bring back Gentry.  I suspect it will be Alvarez.

And I expect to see Alvarez in the field at some point.

They may have their opening for Santander this year since they love their Rule 5 guys.

That would be hard to watch. If we are going to have to watch this garbage at least play someone who has a chance to be a part of their future. 

I know they aren't going to bail on the season yet.

True, also a lot easier to have a rule V guy on the 25 when the team isn't a contender.

Buck played him in the field last season for no good reason.

Exactly. I am always one to hold out hope but this season even with 100 games left and the club still at .500 looks to be off the rails.

Yep bring him up Davis isn't lighting it up, Oblique injuries very seldom avoid the DL. I think the last one he had he was out for at least a month or more.

Oblique injuries are always a bit of a mess, there's rarely a set timeline on coming back from them. Sometimes it's a couple weeks, sometimes it's 6.

As others have noted, Davis hasn't exactly been killing it. By the same token, Pedro is posting a .715 OPS in AAA, and is cold again. So I'm not exactly excited there.

The Bull is going to come up and hit 30HRs DH-ing everyday if Davis is out for a long period of time.  You just watch.

OH I agree got nothing to lose at this point what's the worst that could happen he bombs and gets DFA again right.
