Very well - I bow to you when it comes to lazy choices.  That's your niche.  

OUCH!

Yan Gomes,  Cameron Rupp, Sandy Leon, Stephen Vogt, are a couple I can see. 

Sure, I'll just go with that list.

How many guys are out there that can really change a game with their speed?  Is it a half a dozen guys that can just embarrass a catcher?  Less?

Do you know how many guys have 30 steals this year?

Three.

I think we need to stop constantly revisiting these old trades in threads that are about current/future events.    I hated the Davies trade, but that's got nothing to do with whether we will or should make any trades now.   

Hold up Officer Fun Police, I was just making a joke.

Sorry, I meant bailiwick, but I can't spell it.

Are you going by the eye test, weams? That's OK by me if you are. The stats -- SB attempts/inning and CS% -- don't agree for any of the players listed, however. And that's at the major-league level! Even Vogt has a career CS% of 27%, despite this season's struggles.

Yes. I am   As pitching staff and dedication have much do do with CS rates.

And we are taking about today. Not projection.

Why not bring up Sisco and let him DH/PH and serve as the emergency catcher?

I don't see any benefit to adding him to the 40-man.

Doesn't he have to be added in the offseason?

Maybe, but why start his service clock now?

Let's see...worst starting pitching ERA in the AL.

Can't quite put my finger on what we need.

I think it's a good idea to add a third catcher so you can be more comfortable pinch hitting/running.  So they should make a 40 man move there, imo.  Sisco has the best bat of the options.  You give him MLB experience.  You hold him back next season until June instead of May.

Same thing we've desperately needed for years now...

A leadoff hitter with a high OBP?
