bmags Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 And I feel like this happened last year when it was really just about him making the Schaumburg group or 3 group fo traveling players? But if he did make it, what a cool story. Reminds me a bit of our own Astudillo, just this longtime minor league guy who bounced around, did some things extraordinarily well but didn't look or fit the part of the whole job. That's cool. Baseball is cool.Here's to Yermin hitting the 35 day mark and getting the mlb pension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Seriously need to stop quoting Hector Gomez. But...with how little we have seen of Lucroy...it would make sense that Yermin makes it. Although I'd rather have Lucroy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Hmmm. Seems hard to believe as I would imagine Collins and Lucroy are ahead of him on the pecking order. Carrying 4 catchers? Doubt it. I guess they could cut Lucroy, but with Collins and Yermin both iffy at best receivers, seems unlikely. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vaughn is our new LF, how are they asking a ton of Leury? If Vaughn remains the DH, I would agree that expecting Leury to be a near everyday player in an OF corner isn't going to end well. Its also not like Leury is the epitome of health either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because leury would essentially be the backup to so many positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I guess is what makes him a great 26th man....until he finds his way to the IL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have raked some in spring training for sure, but they rub me as the types that struggle for a few months at the plate and are then sent down.

That's unquestioned. His catching is better. I think we need the bat now more than the defense with Eloy out. Gimme both bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leury makes the squad as the primary backup infielder . Does Vaughn not make OD roster ? The last few spots on the OD roster are shaping up to be quite a drama.

Vaughn LF, Collins DH vs RHP + primary backup C. Yermin DH vs LHP + when Grandal sits and Collins catches. With Eloy out, both having can work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yermin and Collins should stay up unless a better alternative arrives, but if they struggle i think they get sent down. I don't think we will give them time to figure things out unfortunately. Lucroy seems to have an in with the pitching staff so maybe he stays. But he can't hit a lick, so with Eloy out I agree with you that the bat is more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Collins should be catching games when lefties are on the opposing mound. I guess Yermin could catch those games instead of Collins with Leury in LF until Engel comes back.

CentralChamps21 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 If Vaughn sees significant time at LF, I can see Yermin making it. OF: Robert, Eaton, Garcia, Vaughn, Hamilton (replaced by Engel) IF: Moncada, Anderson, Madrigal, Abreu, Mendick C : Grandal, Collins DH: Mercedes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
