Between Rengifo, Urshela, and Fletcher, they don't have one?

That's Mike MacDougal. He's the son of a different pitcher, Mike McDougal, who never reached the majors. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mcdoug001mic

That's true. Benintendi has a noodle arm for sure but watching Eloy throw is pretty bad too.

I think he would be the manager. Thankfully we now live in a reality where he is no longer the manager.

Yeah, he’s basically just a body to split 1B/DH with Mervis and platoon with Wisdom.

True. I guess I just meant more that he's a dumb baserunner like he gets thrown out in weird situations. Or picked off.

I feel like this isn't true.

Bad baserunner and a dumb player to go with it.

Rick Hahn content with mediocrity. No news.

Kelly, Leury maybe.

Saving the allotment to deal away with Garcia.

Well yeah, someone who can play CF is a necessity. I just don't think anyone wants to see Benintendi in RF with that arm.

Yeah, I was starting to think I would be ok if they somehow brought him back cheaper but then remembered he really couldn't play RF. They need a 4th of who can play all 3 spots.

Forgot about him. Their DH spot is also open for at bats.

I think, as of now, Merrifield will see time at 2B and LF with the Jays with Kiermaier and Espinal working as a platoon. vs RHP: Kiermaier in CF, Varsho LF, Merrifield 2B vs LHP: Varsho in CF, Merrifield LF, Espinal 2B

If Andrus wants to sign for cheap and to be a backup, sure sign him. But I’m sure he’s holding out for a starting spot as of right now. I don’t think anyone is really “ok” with Leury being on the team. He’s here with a guaranteed deal so our opinion on him doesn’t really matter. They aren’t going to cut him. It is what it is.

Yeah, if he was going to be paid very little, then maybe. He would have to agree to a bench role though. It would be nice to have insurance at SS for when TA gets hurt.

Huh? In what way is that carrying water for or wanting Leury to play more?

I had no idea he was still productive. When he’s healthy that is.

Woo! Go Jerry Reinsdorf’s wallet!

I feel like Story is moving over. I feel like his signing was insurance for Bogaerts possibly leaving.

Sorry, I meant I think the Braves will sign him as a stopgap. I would rather play Romy. I need another few days off.

I still feel like Andrus would be a solid fit there as a stop gap. Washington connection too.

Yeah, I still think they end up with one of Pillar, Pham, or Duvall. If not, then probably Cespedes.

Is this also assuming Colas makes the OD roster?
