Wells built like an ox, softer than wet toilet paper. 

For a guy with an injury he seems to be in a good mood. Hope that’s a good sign.

Often those two go together. Giancarlo Stanton.

Hoping the 'Wells as a Starter' idea is over.  Whenever he heals up, leave him in the pen.  Really, really needed another starter this off season.

If Burnes leaves we'll need two.

Orange colored glasses, this feels a little Dodgers-y.

It is fairly well known when his tank will empty, so maybe they've made a quick decision he isn't going to cut it in the rotation and are churning while he catches his breath and re-gears.     Case against though, the staff does need the innings now.

Sure, but there aren't FAs during the season.  Gotta give up players now.

Thankfully, we have alot of those

Zimmerman is on the 40-man and is available to pitch tomorrow. He was better in his last start so I'm guessing he gest the start tomorrow. Long term it very well could be Povich depending on how Zimmerman does tomorrow.

Zimmermann is on the 40-man.  He's my guess.

Who's our long man in the pen?

 The roster moves here don’t mention a pitcher. We do need a pitcher, hopefully a good one.

But can someone explain why we need a third catcher? 
 

Not a need, just a way to use the extra spot while waiting for Wells' turn to come up. Also maybe a nice gesture for Banuelos?

I will guess Zimmermann will be next man up, Povich if (when?) he struggles.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Do we have to DFA Banuelos to bring up a pitcher?

Giancarlo Stanton is 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag.
