beekay414 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Honestly, I think Troy Stokes may be a better prospect than Ryan Cordell. .248 batting average is underwhelming but he also doesn't have the luxury of playing in Colorado Springs.

Forge Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 It's amazing that Bickford was a top 5 prospect for us and he clocks in at #25 for you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of recency bias in that prospect list by Callis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans0021 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Not surprising, but good news. Though I'm sure it's because Braun is heading to the DL or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why we'd pull him during a game to promote him... But yeah, it'll probably be because Braun's going back on the DL.

beekay414 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 https://www.fanragsports.com/news/heyman-yankees-talking-sonny-gray-deal/ Quote The Brewers were said by sources to have “backed off” a bit after deciding the prospect package requested was a bit rich for their blood – though the situation remains fluid and no one is necessarily eliminated yet.

Just trying to give him a send off in front of the Sky Sox faithful. So Phillips moves to the fourth outfield spot. He should still see his fair share of ABs. Figure Braun can really only be playing three out of every four days and maybe just have Brinson do the same thing. Occasional day off for Santana and at least you're getting him two or three starts a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set your price and walk away if it goes too high. Always possible the A's come back if the market doesn't develop with the Yankees or across the league.

Phillips in CF against a LHP isn't ideal, and Swarzak won't be in DC today, so they call up Brinson for a spot start for a platoon advantage, DFA the RP we were going to DFA anyway, then send him back down for Swarzak after the game.

And then out of no where Garza goes on the DL. I hope Brinson is up for good. Nothing left for him to accomplish at AAA. Play Brinson for 2/3 of the games and Phillips 1/3 at CF. Then let Phillips sub every 4-5th game for Braun in LF. Would anyone want Perez or Aguilar for a RP? Obviously not a late inning guy but just someone better than Torres or Drake?
