I'm pretty sure, but not positive that it does get deducted. We could save ourselves 563.5K! I'd rather see a Patrick Murphy type in the majors next year than Roark.

 

I'm pretty sure it doesn't get deducted but I could be wrong. Murphy on the 26 man instead of Roark is a no brainer but there is a <1% chance Shatkins releases him. Our only hope is to trade for another bad contract, even if its $3-4M more. We can afford the extra money if it means a bit more value.

Am I crazy, or is Anderson clearly better than Roark and should have had his start.

 

 

Its a tie, both suck.

 

Not sure you can put Anderson out there after last game against the same team

Bringing Roark to face Cole is akin to bringing a knife to a gunfight

 

And then you accidently stab yourself with the knife.

Looks like we caught a break with the Yankee line up malfunction. Britton forced into the game, hopefully we make him work and make him unavailable tomorrow.

I think we'd be better off starting Davis in CF for the playoffs and DH one of Grichuk or Teo.

 

Grichuk is a very good defender. Why on earth would you DH him?

Specifically a jackknife with 1.5 inch blade versus a 12 gauge shotgun.

I’d rather have Shaw/Someone at 1B and Guerrero DH

Like Montoyo said, this guy just needs to hit 'enough' because his defense could be Kiermaier level (not sure about the arm strength). So I wonder what enough would be offensively to warrant playing him regularly. I guess it depends on the other alternatives for CF (currently all suck big time) and how potent the rest of the lineup is (could be pretty good, especially without a black hole at C and depending what happens at 3B).

 

ETA: not that I trust Charlie's judgement but even a stopped clock ......

I agree.

 

Honestly, you don't have to mash to be CF. As long as you can handle yourself and get on base with stellar D, you'll have a job. I'd like to see what Davis can do.

Dump him. Indicators were pointing to him declining and clearly those indicators were accurate. He sucks.

 

I mean i'd keep him around for the first few weeks of next season in case of injuries. But yeah dump after that

I think Roark might bring value in a normal season, concerning health and maybe a dead cat bounce back... I don't see them cutting ties anytime soon, or not! :P

Yeah I know he's a decent defender but more suitable for RF. CF is crazy important on the defensive side and Grichuk doesn't make those catches Davis made last night early on, especially the second catch. I don't think I have to tell you how important it is on all fronts, especially on the pitching staff. The only question is if Davis can continue having decent at bats like he's having. DHing Teo could be an option with Grichuk in RF.

That's fair, but the point remains you'd essentially never DH Grichuk. If Davis hits enough to start in CF then Grich plays RF and Teo DH's....or, if Rowdy gets back and hits like he did before the injury, Tellez/Vlad will play 1st/DH and Teo will play RF with Grich on the bench (or in CF).

Well, Grichuk has been playing like a bench player since the start of 2019. Yeah they should bench him. Sad!
