Moves I’d like to see this weekend

[eddie83]

I would think potentially multiple moves tomorrow. Bullpen is taxed and Mountcastle may be back. I think we see at least one pen arm sent down. Maybe two.

The only two logical reasons I've heard for him not being up are some combination of Super 2 status and trying to keep him from finishing too high in the ROY voting.
 

Both of those things are about money.

Those are both theories coming from here, nothing anyone in the know has said.   But Connolly has been saying for weeks that he belueves they will call up Rutschman when they feel he’s ready, that it’s purely a baseball decision.  I don’t necessarily agree with that, but that’s Connolly’s opinion.

Baumann and Diplan I think could be up tomorrow.  Pen needs some help. 
 

Exciting enough for me…..

Gets called up for tomorrow night and catches, day off Sunday, day game.  He sits or is DH, Is Mountcastle coming off IL? It's going to get crowded.

Agreed. Let’s give AR & Rodriquez another full year in AAA to percolate. https://twitter.com/joetrezz/status/1527863333474512896?s=21&t=QFp8U_BAKFpMOxHO2uHWgA

Well #2 has happened.  Adley up,  Bemboom DFA'd  (I think Elias would love to see him join Norfolk)

#1 Mountcastle activated will happen today.  My guess is the McKenna will be optioned.   Hyde loves Owings and Odor so don't expect them to be DFA'd and they don't have options left.   Hyde/Elias  I think will stay with 14 pitchers as long as they can(May 31st).  Overuse of the guys  in the pen is at hand.

#3 Promote Grayson is totally realistic.  If they have called up Adley, Grayson should is just as ready.  He has now pitched well on 5 days rest twice.   Start Grayson Sunday and  Option Watkins.   DFA Bannon.

Hyde needs help for his pen and there is not an off day for another 5 days.  So...  Baumann and Diplan up. Both last pitched on May 17th.  And Vespi and (Gillaspie or Baker) down.

That would affect 11 players.   And it all could happen in the next two days.

I think they’ve already announced Watkins as tomorrow’s SP.

That could change any time.  They waited until this morning to announce Adley.

It could change but normally you would just leave the SP as TBA. They’ve done that a lot this year. I doubt they’d announce Watkins only to call up Grayson later. 
 

But what do I know? I was sure Adley was going to be down until the next homestand

I was at a Baysox game and it was mentioned Rizer retired from baseball. I see he's on the Development List, which I'm not entirely sure what that means.

I love Dan but this is accurate. Elias/Angelos always about money. If you believe otherwise, your naive. 

I haven't seen enough of John Angelos, but I agree everything he's done -- except approve the Lyles signing -- has been about money.

It's not fair to say that about Peter Angelos. I think there were plenty of instances when his arrogance, stubbornness and/or stupidity overcame his financial greed. Just sayin'.
