I'm fine with giving Wilkerson a shot, but really wish the team would bring up Garabez Rosa for a cup of coffee. I know Corban Joseph is a nice story because of his tie in with Caleb, and I know both he and Wilkerson have out hit Rosa, but man, in a lost year, why not give a guy a chance as a lifetime achievement award? Maybe this September.

BTW, before anyone gets on me for this, this is purely a sentimental thought. I just like to see those guys who have been in the minors for this long with one team at least get that one at bat in the majors. 

Makes sense. Perfect year to do it.

I keep having this feeling the second the big players are dealt the bigger prospects come up together.

Beckham is suppose to be back soon. They can’t keep Joseph, Wilkerson and Peterson on the same roster. Really only room for 1. Maybe just a quick visit for him. 

Gotta think Peterson would be DFA material at that point right

I'm all for Rosa getting a chance too. I'm guessing we might see him and Yaz in September though.

For those who wonder how Wilkerson fits in with the team:

Switch hitter who can play a majority of the positions while also bringing some speed (running wise, unless he still has something from last year...)

When Beckham gets back, Peterson might be the one to go as Wilkerson fits in the spot Peterson currently holds.

That or Wilkerson gets sent right back down. 

I assume for now they keep Valencia to trade him later. Could keep Peterson because he can play OF. The Joseph brothers playing together could be a quick reunion.

We can only hope. Peterson is a classic guy that looks the part, but just isn't really good enough to be a major leaguer.

I'd say Joseph or Peterson get DFA'd next.

Maybe two days.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      You’ve got to think that the minor leaguers are well aware of it when the boss is there to watch them play, right?

      Cedric Mullins 2024

      By AlbNYfan · Posted

      Before I begin, I have to say I have really enjoyed watching Mullins over the past few years. However, his body language when going to the plate now is really poor.  Two thoughts: 1) Is it time for him to at least try switch hitting again. Could it possibly get worse? Just a different look for a bit. 2) I know D is important. But, how many above average, game changing plays does a CF'er (or any fielder) make per game? Yet, for the most part, every starter gets 4 AB's/game where he can make a difference. Is having a good D, no hit player a net gain? Or is a average D, hit player a net gain?

      The Os will be in the playoffs

      Thats all there using Mcann for is backup catcher 17 starts all at catcher, Mayo does not play catcher.

      Albert Suarez 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Suarez’ velo makes me think he is an IL candidate when Grayson is activated, if there’s some nagging injury that is contributing to it.  I think it’s very unlikely Akin is optioned and Baumann has pitched better of late, so good chance somebody is going to the IL.

      Is it time to upgrade over Urias and McCann?

      By Frobby · Posted

      As to Urias, I think he’s on much thinner ice.  I’d say he has another 30 days to get his bat in gear.  If he doesn’t, I think either Holliday or Mayo will take his spot.

      By emmett16 · Posted

      I don’t see a path for Mayo to get the ABs needed to acclimate & become a force in the lineup this year.  Someone would need to be moved.  I don’t see them bringing him up to get sporadic ABs and if they do bring him up and give him sporadic ABs I don’t see him being a difference maker.  He’s a special talent but every single one of our top tier guys have needed time to adjust.  How does he get that opportunity?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Offensively, l think McCann is what he is.  If you look at his 2023 game log, you’ll see that he was sub-.600 OPS most of last year, except that he had a 10-game stretch in August where he got very hot and raised his OPS from .564 to .692, and then he had a .525 OPS for the rest of the season once that streak was over.  So, I’m not expecting much more from McCann with the bat than what we’re currently seeing.  Every so often that stiff, grooved swing of his connects with a baseball and he hits the ball hard somewhere.   Most of the time, it doesn’t.   Defensively, there are some indicators that his performance is down, particularly in pitch blocking.  But it’s a small enough sample that I don’t know if it’s really meaningful.   The team is 11-6 when McCann starts and the pitchers have a 3.78 ERA when he’s behind the dish (2.90 when it’s Adley).   I think that’s good enough that the team isn’t going to be in any big hurry to “upgrade” from McCann.   He’s been a good mentor for Adley and seems well liked and respected in the clubhouse.   So long as they’re winning when he catches, they’re going to stick with him IMO.
