It's much easier to deal with things like that when he plays 1B or DH only.

Is that why the Dodgers are starting Eddy Alvarez in the OF and traded for Trayce Thompson?

The way they've slow played young players into the lineup, Vaughn for instance, I don't him getting more games than that anyway.

They aren't a really good team right now. They are missing nearly half the lineup. What matter is if they are a really good team in August and September.

How is crochet indicative of the lack of cohesion? They had a plan. Most on this board didn't like the plan but they had a plan.

He had surgery on it. It will always be an issue.

I wouldn't give up significant assets for a part time player. Jimenez, Pollock, Robert, Vaughn aren't going anywhere.

I bet he is DH. Abreu that is.

The issue is it really needs 2B, a 2B (?). As the OF/DH is pollock and Robert with Jimenez and Vaughn. There is no room for a new regular in the OF.

I agree. That's why I'm expecting it.

Can't wait to see the Sunday lineup for this one.

They usually use a tendon from your wrist called the Palmaris longus. . It's not really useful but not everyone has one. If they don't have one they'll use a portion of the semitendinousus hamstring tendon. They aren't as strong as a ligament but they weave it together in a figure 8. Believe it or not, when that tendon dies because it has been removed, it comes back with physical properties more of a ligament and not a tendon as it was. Still not exactly a ligament but closer.

That has no bearing on the conversation on how to possibly make him a starter.

And with your Spirit. Get with the times!

What are you talking about?

Agreed. He's going to need 2 years to build up to starter innings.

I still say it's all about the innings build up. It would be the same if they left him in the minors

Yep.

You're probably right with Haseley. Although with the LH, it still maybe Mendick.

Is it Mendick that is sent down when Moncada returns? Burger?

So now who is gone when Moncada returns? We know they won't get rid of Leury. So is it Mendick?

Not from scratch but he hadn't pitched many innings in a season to begin with. The most he has ever pitched in a season was about 65 and that was 3 years ago. His build up will be slow regardless if it is on the minors or MLB.

Yes. Because you said could they win an easy game for once. It's been more than once just recently.

Prove no. But shows they can.

Didn't they just win games 13-0 and 7-0 recently?
