I still don't fully buy into Elias's ideas right now with the roster construction. 

I agree, he deserves a shot. As does a healthy Wynns, a healthy Hays, Diaz, Santander, Mountcastle this season, ect.

But I do remember last season talk about "if he stays down 'x' number of days, they get another year."

Maybe.

Maybe not.

All this gamesmanship might be for naught.

Well, Elias obviously thinks Severino has talent and the Nationals gave him 270 AB's last year.  Maybe he's nothing but they want to take a look.  He was the #9 prospect in a strong Nationals system a couple of years ago.

Or it's just another service time game.

Could be that.

Severino might just be another warm body.

Perez and Susac are warm bodies too.  

They sure are.

Seems to be he is doing the same thing Dan did. 

Trying to keep as much “talent” as he can. 

I don’t think Sisco is about service time if he is sent down.

Who did Dan play service time games with?

Was it Manny?  Bundy?  Schoop?  Hays?  I forget.

At this point perhaps our Opening Day starter isn’t even in the organization.......  that said this has to mean that the SP on Thursday is 

Opener 

Wright

Cobb- which to me makes no sense.

I understand they are not going to be competitive this year but isn't this taking things a bit far?

 

I agree with you on this one. Sisco has showed out in camp this year, and coming off a year where his confidence appeared to be pretty shaken, I would want us to capitalize on what he’s done and keep him with the big club. Keep that confidence rolling and see if he can get back to where many thought he would be. And service time is less of an issue with him since he’s spent a good chunk of time in the majors already. 

Wanted to see him get a chance.

Referring to the constant up and down games. The creative roster maneuvering.

Dan never did that if it would interfere with an actual prospect.

Perez and Susac are warm bodies too.  If Severino can OPS .650 he's probably an asset based on his defense.  If he stays below .600 he won't last too long.

Can Severino play 1B?
