    I’ve said before bregs to 3B someday. When he’s older. And stops being a plus 3B. Be should be a plus 1B even when he’s older.

    This means less Yainer or Caratini at DH when the other one catches

    I feel like Bregman is too short for 1B. Maybe a pretty good 2B though.

    He’s the same height as Bagwell isn’t he?

    Randomly turned on Marlins v Diamondbacks and David Hensley has a 3 hit, 2 run game so far for the Marlins. They're playing him at RF too. Good for him.

    Yep, that means

    Yanier 1B
    Caratini C
    Bregs 1B
    Yordan LF.
    Whitcomb or Dezenzo at 3B.

    Hopefully Dana signs Urshela.

    Too late. Urshela signed with Braves yesterday after Riley got hurt lol. Anyone else available? I'm just hoping a team trying to save money starts putting players on waivers to see if anyone gets claimed like the Angels last year. I mentioned it earlier and the Rangers was suggested but all the players were pitchers. But apparently it looks bad doing it and the league hates it so I wonder if teams are hesitant or they say F the league, need to save millions. Just to clarify, I'm talking about teams dumping multiple players on waivers. Not just 1 player like Tigers and Urshela.

    I'd rather not have Yordan running around in the outfield.

    Then you would rather not put the best team on the field.

    We're only talking 30 games or so.

    I hate the Bregman situation. That will definitely hurt us.

    I swear I remember him throwing a laser to 1B for the final out the other day. Then next day his elbow is shot. Was it that throw? Was it something he did at home? No way in hell it’s from sleeping on it wrong.

    Neris has been rolling along very well the last 2 months after an ugly start. He's not a door slammer, but he's still a good arm who we know can handle the pressure of leverage. I actually like most of the young arms we've seen recently, but I'll take the safe hand.

    Taylor Scott has had an amazing year, but he seems to be regressing pretty hard the last month.
