Can you imagine Martin not catching in the home opener?

Tolleson no but the team would definitely care about Thole. Even if Martin catches Dickey, they'll want Thole around as a plan B. The fact that he CAN be optionned to AAA without exposing him is ideal.

I know it applies to Maicer and he has 11 so hopefully it's 10.

Ugh as if the whole option weren't enough to keep track of, there's also the veteran status that can cancel it out thing. I THINK you need 10 years of service for that to apply and Thole only has 6. JFaS could confirm if that's how it works.

I think that's a fair assumption with Saunders on the DL and Pillar in the every day lineup. Between Pompey, Pillar and even Travis, there's no need for the emergency OF to be a CF.

I knew he was Dominican before.

Don't know where I got that, Dominican obviously. I shouldn't post before I've had coffee.

The Mexican and the Cuban? Are they even that close? How much time have they even spent together at this point? This seems far fetched.

I'd be very content with that. It would mean a very dramatic reduction in walks.

The quick ones probably don't stick in the memory as much.

He inquires on everyone which is nice but then you typically have to work very hard to come to an agreement.

I just caught up to the whole Should have/Should of thing. I coudn't understand why everyone was putting so much emphasis on that. It's really weird because in spoken conversation, it more often than not does sound like "should of". I guess the proper way to represent that is "should've". Then again using contractions to represent perfectly common and natural things like dropped vowels is in itself a very strange quirk of written English. Carry on mocking.

So I laugh at the tweet and express the same opinion as you but need to get a life. No one's making a big deal out of this but thanks for giving me a condescending response all the same. Much appreciated.

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

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.

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

Oh you mean, would they have to be added to the 40 regardless of whether they're on the 25. I thought he was asking whether they were already on the 40.

Neither is on the 40.

He will if he falls in line or he'll stay in the doghouse like Accardo.

Dreamboat Danny on the other hand...

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).

Whither Andy Dirks?

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.
