We Should Call Up Wagner, Outright Release Esmil Rogers

[McD]

This topic deserves discussion. Rogers has been woeful this year and his position on the team should be in question. Better pitchers are being sent down because Rogers has no options. Having a 'mop-up' man is all well and good but that should be someone who is capable if contributing in a tight game also.

 

People may not agree with this, but it is worth discussion. Posters have to get away from the name above the post and actually read the content. Good threads are being strangled by daft comments obsessed with status in a forum. It can get very irritating.

Give Rogers some more time...

 

The dfa order should be..

 

happ,redmond,rogers

 

 

Give Roger some more time? In 4.5 seasons he sports a career 5.58 ERA with a 1.59 WHIP. More time isn't going to fix him. Why would you DFA Redmond?

 

If Happ does an average job at best he could be trait bait for a team looking for injury replacement just as we did when we picked him up by giving up 5 prospects for him (though dumping Cordero was a plus).

meh, he's had HR problems. If he was walking everyone than we should be talking DFA. He's not going to continue giving up an HR every 3rd time he appears. If they did DFA him it wouldn't bother me that much but I disagree the options are that much better out there. It's a bullpen guy, likely he comes in and puts up scoreless outings in his next 5 or 6 appearances.
