Your suggestions have to be mad...lol.Don’t think so.. will present my idea (mad as it might be) shortly
The only other choice is Oscar and I think they still want to see what they got with him……Does Clement have any option left, and maybe move Miller over to third base if Jose need a rest or more time with his thumb ?Don’t think so.. will present my idea (mad as it might be) shortly

Sorry I give more credibility to fivethirteight over bleacher report. No laughter necessary.You can find a projection that says whatever you want to hear...lol.
BR had us as the projected division winner this morning before we won and the Twins lost.

Anticipating backlash to your Nolan Jones call up suggestion so I checked his stats this season and was pleasantly surprised despite the dreaded SSS.Ok.. here is the roster movement plan I have.. Please read all the way thru before ripping it a new one....
As the team looks to activate Civale & Franmil, at least 1 pitcher has to be sent out. The max pitchers on the roster is 13 and the team is already at that limit. To add Civale, I figure Castro gets sent to the minors (as he still has an option remaining for this year). Sandlin is another option, but of the 2 I believe Sandlin stays.
To add Franmil the club could reduce itself to 12 pitchers (send out Sandlin), but I doubt that will work with Tito. As a result I would send out Oscar Gonzalez as he has been scuffling recent (despite hitting HR #1 in today's game). With today's results he is 3 for 23 (or so). That is scuffling. Pitchers have started abusing him with breaking stuff outside or completely off the plate. He has to layoff that pitch. To work on that he needs to play regularly and AAA Columbus has a loaded & crowded OF at the moment.
To open up the playing time I would also call up Nolan Jones. He can play all 4 corner spots (1B-3B-LF-RF) and calling him up before IIRC Thursday prevents his 2nd option year being burned up. To open the spot for Jones, I option out Ernie Clement. In this case Jones can be the backup to JRam and Richie Palacios can also serve as a backup to 2B (depending on movement during the game).
To recap:
I add/activate Civale, Franmil, Nolan Jones
I send out: A Castro, Oscar Gonzalez & Ernie Clement
Ok... let the responses commence.
