I think Means goes down today for another arm from the right side guessing Ramirez comes up then he either starts Wednesday or they get waiver claim to start that game.  I expect some musical chairs even before Cobb is back for Thursday.

I guess at this point “they” see enough in Arajuo to keep him. Even though in this low expectation season, he still can’t get into games. I’d send Fry down. Just because Means can have longer outings. 

I think we stick with the 4 man bench. Alberto is  valuable enough for now. No need wearing down Martin mentally or physically.

I have changed my mind on this several times.    Now I am thinking either Mullins or Bleier gets optioned.

I don't think you option your starting center fielder against righties

Agreed. Mullins hasn't been able to hit since last August. Time to see if Jackson can hit ML pitching.

If Dan was still hear someone would find a pothole to step in or all the sudden have arm fatigue and go on the 10 day dl until Araujo can be sent down in 10 days.   Let's see what the new regime does with the move.

Mullins has had some pretty nice ABs from the left side - hit a few hard grounders last night right at people.  Keep sending him out, when he hits that hot stretch you won't regret it.  The right side still looks rough though.

It's Richie Martin bad from the right side. Agree you keep throwing him out there. Maybe don't bat him lead off eventually. But it's still early.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
