    Bringing up Worth also requires a corresponding 40 man move.

    Chances are, they'll recall Moran and Marwin will be the full-time SS.

    I would hate that. They need someone in there with pop in Correa's absence. Moran provides absolutely zero.

    I want Bregman up as much as the next guy... more to let him start adjusting now rather than later.... but from a strict 40-man reasoning standpoint, makes more sense to call up players already on the roster.

    Hell, if its just pop you want... call up Jon Singleton!!

    I just think there is some extra fat on the 40 that can be trimmed.

    Cause we sure don't want to lose guys like peacock and fields

    That's much more important than fielding the best team that you have

    Right?

    plenty of trash still on the 40-man, and luhnow made comments the other day making it sound like worth would be up in the near future anyway.

    If Marwin were going to be the full-time SS, why didn't he move over today? I assumed it was still the hand issue?

    White at DH

    Probably just chose to play a guy at SS for first time ever than a guy at 1st for first time ever

    surprising choice. They'd rather put Altuve at SS than Rasmus or Gattis or Marisnick or Gomez or Springer at 1B? Given that Gattis has taken some grounders in practice there and all, I'd have rather gone to Gattis 1B / Marwin SS

    Yes, it is about time we see if Worth can do anything, even if it is as a DH when Gattis plays catcher. Just need more consistent bats. Not saying he will be one but is getting on base at an unbelievable clip which would be good for this club if he can do it for a stretch in the majors. Could also be good trade bait or allow someone else to be trade bait.

    Wish we could PH Castro here. Can't afford to.
