Nothing wrong with being negative about this team.  There is a lot of that going around.   

I just think Scott has done what he needed to over the last month to get another chance in the majors.

Fair enough. I’m not going to disagree with that, but at the same time I’d really like to see what other guys can do up here. I don’t want to see Phillips again, I don’t care about Lucas one way or the other, I would love to do something with Castro, I’m happy to see Kline again; not because he’s fabulous, but because he is not yet a known quantity.

Well that’s certainly true, but at what point does one say, “OK he’s had some chances let’s try the next guy”?

The only pitcher that is on the Forty Man Roster that is available is http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=605469#/career/R/pitching/2019/ALL

Thank you for his list.

Oh I thought this was a list, it’s only one person. I don’t think 40 man status should be an impediment. I don’t have the slightest problem outrighting Phillips, for instance. If somebody claims him, who cares.

I’m not in a place where I can look at the full 40 man roster, but I would imagine there are several other guys who could be removed without any great risk of losing them.

They did. His name was Gilmartin.

I am guessing Shepherd and Eshleman are added to rotation here if Means misses a bit of time.  I am starting to think they may not move Cashner or Bundy just because they are running out of starter options.

If Elias can get anything that helps the future he will trade Cashner.  Even if that is just salary relief.   The rest of the season is a lost cause.   Having Cashner will not help them.

Yeah, he's going to move them if they can.  Saves cash, brings back prospects, and opens up roster spots.  It would be rough though if both got traded.  What would the starting 5 be?

Means, Akin, Eschelman, Ynoa, and an Opener spot?

Outside of Means, I think all of these guys are just "openers".

Would have to think Chandler Shepard is the next contestant to appear.

A game show analogy. Definitely not The Price Is Right.

Yeah I was trying to think of something funny but could not come up with anything.

Well, now that Scott has had his latest chance, does he go back down for someone else? And I cannot stress enough that Phillips, Lucas, Hess, Scott, and Rogers at least can be outrighted. Scott would probably get claimed, but no loss.  Throwing hard is an ability, controlling the throat is a skill, and Scott has the one but not the other. Hess might get claimed, but also no loss, and the others wouldn’t evoke a batted eyelash if they were claimed.
