If Verlander comes back soon and is his normal self, it allows Peterson or Megill to become a reliever, and give the team a much needed (hopefully) reliable arm that can go 2 innings as needed.

We desperately need that.  Believe he is going to do a rehab start in the minor next week.  Good chance he will be in the rotation in the next 2 weeks.

I suspect the minute Verlander comes back, Carrasco goes on the DL.  He might go on it before then.

The other thing is to call up Baty and make his the starter at 3B.  They should have done this at the start of the season.  Can't afford to have another horrible hitter near the bottom of the lineup.

With any luck, Narvaez returns in mid June.  That largely eliminates another non productive bat in the lineup.

I would call up Vientos and make him the full time DH.  I think he is an upgrade over Pham, Vogelbach, Lacastro, Escobar and whoever else they are rolling out here.

Maybe sign Britton too.  I know that are salary cap ramifications here.

Agree, this team is not going to win 100 games.  But I still hope they can get to 90 wins.
