It would not surprise me if he's kept down and rehabbed as long as possible and then Wells will come up with something and the same thing will happen while Sceroler will return.

My guess is the plan is to work them onto the 26-man roster for the minimal time they need to keep them and using minor league rehab as a way to get them some innings. 

I know Wells is almost 90 days and we can work the system and keep him. And I know we could use the roster spot. But Wells is becoming one of the bright spots in our pen. Maybe we should keep him here.

 

But this year doesn't matter so... whatever. As long as we keep him.

And yes, Sceroler hasn't shown us anything yet. The SLIGHTEST hints.

 

But I'm a firm believer in GENES in the majors. If your previous relatives had success it's likely you will too. It happens over and over.

It’s also happened over and over that genes mean nothing.

He isn’t good.  He hasn’t ever been good.  Cut bait and give Hyde another arm that maybe has a chance.

Here’s the thing with Rule 5 picks, even if you manage to “hides them all year, they are still on your 40 man over the offseason. So then that is one of your own players you cannot protect from the rule 5 draft. Aka Pop and Fenter, even though we got Fenter back. 

True, I never looked at it that way.

But ME cleared up 2 spots on the 40 heading into the Rule V draft, took Wells and Sceroler to fill it. If he was ok then to risk Pop or Fenter to be lost, then that was his decision.

And now, I guess it his (And Sig and his department's) decision whether he really wants to keep Sceroler. (Wells is a lock.)

I think the only way they will put Wells on the IL is if he really does tweak something or they are worried about his innings, but it doesn't appear his innings load will be that bad for a starting pitcher.

Sure it happens a lot and good genes probably give an advantage, but think of all the MLB players who have kids/nephews that don't become professional baseball players, let alone successful ones. If the guy stinks, cut him loose.

Sceroler is useful for throwing to the wolves in blowouts and protecting your actual prospects/quality bullpen arms from absorbing those innings/pitches thrown. I think we keep him as long as he's healthy and then towards the end of the season he'll be DFA'd and probably able to pass through waivers at that point.

If they DFA Sceroler anytime this year he will have to goes through waivers and bevoffered back to the Reds.

Yep, he hasn't hurt us or cost us a game this year.   At worst he's taken a roster spot that some slightly less bad reliever might have taken.   But we can't DFA him until after the season if we want to keep him.

The decision to keep him or not will be based in entirely on how he projects in the minds of Elias and company, not how he pitches now.

      The on field product has the talent to win and bring out fans now.  I’m not saying not to spend more money.  Your first paragraph I agree with. The new owner assumes all the “debts” leftover. Ultimately it’s their responsibility to repair it.    They screwed up big time with their pricing. If this team rebounds and gets in the DS the excitement will pick up. Only the last week did they have any momentum after months of losing it.

      That’s a very good point, but then you have the question whether you would be willing to give up McDermott plus for erceg, and that’s an easy trade to make. Plus, the athletics need almost everything, they wouldn’t want Hays But we could’ve found something to satisfy them.

      IMO, this mindset ("new chapter") is part of the problem. We can't act like the past and the terrible relationship that the org had with it's customer base does not matter or have a carryover effect. Whether the org calls itself "new" or not IMO is irrelevant. The issue is whether or not it will operate in enough meaningful different ways. If the org wants more of it's market to be engaged it is going to have to raise the bar to championship expectations and invest more in the on-field product. That would be different from the past and would indeed reflect that something is "new".

      All of you guys talking about empty seats and an unengaged fanbase - did you not see the post showing over 41K in attendance, more than in MIL or HOU?  Are those fan bases also unengaged or disinterested? This is much ado about absolutely nothing.

      I think at this point its just semantics regarding what a successful deadline looked like.  Elias upgraded three positions - SP, 2 RP.  Could there have been bigger upgrades?  Sure, at a bigger cost.  I think it was sufficient.  What has killed the team is the hitting.  If this team had hit like its capable of, and Soto, Eflin, and Dominguez all pitched exactly as they have, we'd all be feeling a lot better about the team, and probably lauding Elias for those three pickups and what a great boost they were at the deadline.  But we aren't hitting - at all - and I don't know what he could have done at the deadline to fix that. Already agreed that the draft strategy must evolve. I don't agree it was a bad strategy to do what they did so far, but it does have to evolve, just as the organization as a whole has evolved.  And I think it will.

      I don't mean this as any kind of personal slight toward you. Please do not take this as such. But people/fans showed how they felt about this team who has been a loser for almost 4 months. And largely continued to hedge (beyond the Eflin addition) at the deadline. I bet you who did not have a bunch of empty seats for their playoff game yesterday .... San Diego. IMO it is because of the effort that they put in to continue to engage the fanbase. You can't sell people on the "homegrown" stars idea and no need to add a lot of outside talent. And then some of those "homegrown stars" who were so hyped flop. And then not extend the ones who turn into stars. That communicates a lack of investment by the org. Now when you add that up in the economy/2024 inflation and combine that with all of the other entertainment choices that people have in 2024; things like this will happen. Empty seats during a playoff game = an unengaged/unexcited fan base. The org has to own much of this.
