Delabar optioned to AAA; Saunders and Izzy to start on the DL

[fatcowxlive]

 

Didn't see Delabar going to AAA at all coming... Saunders on the other hand was fully expected

[Dylan]

Who is our bench option that can play outfield to start the season? tolleson?

[S33n]

Looks that way.

Viciedo, probably. I didn't say HOPEFULLY, just probably.

 

(Frankly, I'd prefer Tolleson.)

[G-Snarls]

Ug x 3

[Sparky12]

So pillar in left to start then?

[G-Snarls]

Presumably 15 day DL for Saunders?

 

Can you back date DL stints to spring training??

[HERPDERP]

Viciedo, probably. I didn't say HOPEFULLY, just probably.

and THIS is why there is always a risk on MILB signings.

 

Cause dumb shits like Viciedo end up on the team...

 

Hopefully he doesn't.

I guess so

[KingKat]

Getting mixed message about this Delabar thing. If it's about options then in theory he's being demoted to save someone like Hendriks, Drabek, Barnes or possibly even Tolleson if the team is comfortable with a shorter bullpen (which I doubt).

 

Edit: Never mind the bit about TollesonI had missed the part about Saunders on the DL.

Reyes SS

Martin C

Bautista RF

Edwin DH/1B

Donaldson 3B

Navarro/Smoak DH/1B

Pillar LF

Travis 2B

Pompey CF

 

Bench: Navarro/Smoak, Valencia, Tolleson, Thole

[KingKat]

Whither Andy Dirks?

[KingKat]

If Tolleson makes the team over Goins and acts as a super utility, I suppose that opens up a spot for a third catcher (ugh).

[Dylan]

How many rookies do we have holding a spot because of injuries/good spring. Should be an interesting year.

With sanchez and pompey. Were going to be relying a lot on the kids! Should be fun.

Delabar is pissed

[shortstop]

didn't expect this & if based solely on performance, then I was def wrong in thinking he'd be back in the bullpen this year performing well.

Stop trying to make this a thing.

Dreamboat Danny on the other hand...

[Governator]

Doesn't Viciedo make $2.5M if he makes the team? That's a horrible bench cost for 2 weeks waiting for Saunders. Can't we just ride Gindl's hot bat for 2 weeks on the bench?

My guess we'll see a bench of Tolleson, Goins, Valencia and Thole

Most people let times of struggle effect their mindset in a negative way. I view challenging times as an opportunity to better myself!

Is Navarro traded in that scenario or is he the starting DH and Smoak told to beat it?

What's the latest on Martin catching the knuckleball?

 

Can tolleson play SS? Smoak, Valencia, Tolleson, Thole

I think we need Goins on the bench for SS. Tolleson played like 6 innings at shortstop last season though.

Lol at a 1st round draft pick who rocketed to the majors giving life lessons to a thirty year old trying to hold on to a job on the fringes. He probably means well but he should of kept that one to himself.

or its got nothing to do with Delebar and he's only talking about his surgery etc

Could be a weird coincidence I suppose. Maybe just bad timing.

Yeah. Pretty gauche tweet from Stroman.
