U had to have stolen that...

That’s good.

Stole it from Mazz...

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I both like and dislike this move.

Feels like we know what we're getting. That's fine.

Really liked the idea of this stacked lineup, with two kids in it.

He was rumored for a bit, so Maz had some time for that too.

I like it.

I like it a lot.

Blash gone

Good trade, now both kids go to Scranton with Frazier.

Wade could still make it.

Solak was rated a top 2B prospect and Widener got nice write ups too. that said, Drury is a young quality util IF and should do well. Hope he gets the nod at 2nd with Andujar starting at 3rd.

Bird-Torreyes-Sir Didi-Drury at 3rd

Austin-Wade/NRI

This roster frees up so much without DLsbury. It makes Austin the 5th OF and u can add another utility INF.

Otherwise Austin could get squeezed out for a corner guy with Drury at 2B.

Start Andujar at 3rd with Drury at 2nd and Toe on the bench. Gleybar down with the Riders for 3 weeks, then if he's ready move him up to 2B. If Andujar is holding his own, keep him at 3rd with Drury the UIF and option Toe, if not send Andujar down for full time work at AAA.

Moving DLs off the team should have been priority 1 this off season but it obvs doesn't look doable as of right now. I have a sneaking feeling he's going to play for some reason, prob an injury or a slow start from Hicks, and will actually play some above decent CF when he does. Hopefully that will make him more tradeable.

Of course, Jacoby could also just tweek something and go on the extended DL for it basically sinking any chance of us moving him at all.

I can’t see Toe being optioned.

Nor can I see him starting at 3rd, thats either Drury or Amdujar.

Torrres, is now 100% starting at Scranton till after Tax Day.

I can totally see them sending down amdujar as well, but that means a NRI makes it...and another 40man bites the dust. Doubt they want that.

Lotta time!! Gonna be fun.

I’m taping Friday’s game to watch and hear all the interviews and commentary.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Ellsbury has to know that if he goes to the trainer with anything, I mean anything, he's going on the DL immediately.

That was physically painful to read.

I can’t wait till somehow they bat back to back so Sterling can say it.

Stole it from Mazz...

Someone might mention to Mr Mazzeo there was a veteran at 3rd, but they let him walk.

Nicely done.

 

[Hoo's That]

What I love was a trade in which the "player to be named later" turned out to be the player who was traded. At the end of the season, the team who got the player returned him to the team who traded him.

And belly to belly!

 

[KaiserUEO]

Cessa-German-Monty-Gray are your Friday-Monday starters.

[Noexcuse]

Andujar and Torres getting their shot right from the get go.
