Alex Bregman called up...... for real!

I guess all you can do right now is leave them up & left them sink or swim. We aren't gonna do much this year and that's just being a realist. Especially if McCullers is hurt.

Don't know what the deal is. Jon Singleton was better than these guys in the majors

 

I remember them saying something similar to that in Bregman's first game up. They mentioned something like, "he got more power by learning how to pull the ball in the air."

I remember in the Futures Game, he hit a 97 mph inside pitch to right-center for a triple.

What happened to that guy?

 

I was sold after the Futures Game. Killed it. The Reed flunk didn't surprise me too much but this definitely does.

 

It's like the monsters from space jam stole his powers. Send him back down so he can get his confidence back.

 

Lets let that sink in for a minute. Before reading this post I thought myself, why not bring Singleton back up and send someone down. But we need someone to play 3rd.

 

Like what Luhnow did when he acquired Neshek and Gregerson to stabilize the bullpen to prevent the beat down of blowing leads, this offseason has to be about acquiring more professional hitters.

 

Lunhow just said that Marwin should be back and Bregman will either not be in the 2 spot or not in the lineup today.

 

I haven't been watching much recently, but when I have watched Bregman, I've seen him struggle badly against breaking balls, particularly sliders. I think worrying about those pitches has him being unprepared for the FB.

 

What does he do to plug holes at 3B, 1B, OF, OF, DH, C (talking about offseason, when all those spots become wide open)? Depend on prospects like Reed, Bregman, & White to be better? Go with different prospects? Sign bargain FAs? Sign stars? Make trades?

It sucks so much that Gomez, Bregman, Rasmus & Reed have really been let downs this season.

Hire Barry Bonds away from the Marlins.

 

Who would play 3B? I guess Marwin is back?

 

OMG, I hope it isn't Tyler White.

 

Tyler White was working on SS so maybe they slide Correa over. :grin:

 

Steve Pearce types that can play multiple positions. Other guys that aren't automatic outs like we have now. They'll have to overpay on the market but the stability it brings can help introduce prospects either more slowly or at least make it to where they don't enter the lineup and feel the pressure to be offensive saviors.

 

That's ridiculous.

Just plug in Castro at 3B--I hear he can turn his body real fast for the throw

 

He throws right-handed just like the others

 

Of course, my mistake. So, perfect sub

 

You could add White, Marisnick, Tucker, Worth & Moran to that list.

 

...and Gattis as a DH.
