Trumbo rehab begins again 8/27/19

[Frobby]

Trumbo homered tonight, and played RF.    Skimming the play by play, he had to field several hits to RF.    I wonder how he looked — just usual Trumbo bad, or worse?   In any event, he’s healthy enough to at least try him in the OF.

If proven he is healthy, I wonder if he would be part of a package deal as a throw in to shed some salary

More like throw up in your mouth.

What does it cost if we cut him as soon as he's healthy enoughto come back?

They have to pay him his full contract.

Trumbo and Davis on the 25 man roster and getting AB's at the expense of Nunez/Ruiz/Santander?   Sad.  I hope not.

They could also release DSJ and give Trumbo the at-bats that DSJ is getting now.

I wouldn’t be mad if Trumbo came back up for a bit. Mancini always says how Trumbo mentored him. The guy knows hitting. It’s a good story.  

It might be in the works with Nunez playing 3rd. Or it might be good timing with Ruiz having a kid and getting optioned. Trumbo hit a dinger in AAA as well yesterday. 

Wish the August trade deadline was around. 

Best case scenario is, he comes up, plays in a couple of games, then we pay his salary and trade him for whatever.

Already spent Gausman this way.

If Nunez is playing 3B, I have no problem with Trumbo at DH. We have room for him on the 40-man and the active roster.

And if Trumbo is the DH, I'd like to see Mancini at 1B and an outfield of Hays, Santander and Stewart. Actually, I'd like to see that anyway.

Right but isn't that only two months left of the year? August and September? No big loss if you cut him.

I'm in favor of either that or back to the IL.

What does bringing him up do for the long term health of the team? NOTHING! That has to be paramount in everyone's mind. Two-three years down the road is what you are aiming for. Everything has to be geared to that goal. In fact playing him might hurt our chances for the #1 spot. He could start hitting.

If you are worried about the top pick just put him in the outfield.

When the Orioles trade Mancini, Trumbo can be RF,DH  and sometimes 1B. Maybe sign him to an  team friendly extension. Veteran presence is so important. Pies are not.
