morel in LF and herm in CF...morel was supposed to play CF today with velazquez in LF, but velazquez was scratched due to "illness."

no idea what the illness is...i assume it's not the Beastie Boys type of ill...unless he was unlicensed to ill and in that case he's probably in jail.

i dont understand cubs attendance today.

the place is -packed- for a day game and it's not like it's a ton of SF fans.

they barely had anyone show up for any of the reds games, even though 2 were evening games.

Christopher Morel was not / is not ready for MLB defensively. Even if his offense is acceptable and will naturally improve with time at the big league level, defensively he is not ready for prime time. He needs to spend an unspecified amount of time at AAA to learn how to play the various positions he will need to play in MLB. He will get a 4th minor league option in 2024 so it's not like he needs to be rushed.

aside from misplaying stuff in the OF, he doesn't have a sense of other players in the OF.  that's an area where people cover long distances at high rates of speed and just like you don't need a collision, you don't need teammates timid and pulling back from going hard because they think they might end up on the DL.

he is far out of his talent range in CF.  he at least seems comfortable at 3rd/2nd...not much of a 3rd baseman, though...average-ish on a good day.  right now there's no room for him at 2nd and p.wisdom is going to take playing time away from him at 3rd.  should be an interesting few weeks seeing where he gets playing time.

I think if MLB is going to vote willy-nilly on changing the rules of the game then they ought to get back together and vote on a Play-In Tournament for 2022 featuring all 14 teams Edwin Jackson played for in his career.

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled.

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
