We aren't trading Gimenez, that's pretty much a fact...

Bibee got his rotation spot cause of the injury, he was behind Battenfield and Allen in the depth charts.

Gaddis, was struggling so him going down was normal. I never really said anything about him...

They do have a tendency to give veteran players a longer leash, though Plesac isnt exactly someone that fits the norm though since they have been trying to trade him... (And it's hard for Plesac to compete with what guys like Allen and Bibee have done since their call ups).

not a fact..

Yeah it is... They aren't even listening to offers for Gimenez. He just signed an extension with the team, he showed loyalty to them, trading Gimenez now, would forever stop anyone from getting an extension with Cleveland ever again.

You can post all the Gimenez trades you want in the GM thread, I promise I won't comment, but just know, they will never happen...

Looks who's playing 1st base tonight... It's possible he may end up lining up there more frequently, something to keep an eye on.

Problem is he bats from the left side...

And can’t hit. Pretty much zero chance he plays 1B in the majors. This is a nothinburger

He's been killing the ball this season at AAA... It's only been a month, but if he keeps up what he is doing, he's going to be on someone's 26 man roster...

Edit: and on the first batter, he makes an error (Aka it's supposedly on the SS since it was a low throw, but being a guy who played 1B, you gotta get that throw 100% of the time).

Akron gets no hit in the 1st game of their doubleheader - losing 8-0. They did manage to get two baserunners

This is also the game thread and not the GM thread, where those ideas happen...

It's okay. You're just wrong in two places then instead of one.

Not when it comes to Gimenez being available in a trade lol

What is a realistic return for Rosario while we are on the subject of trading players?

At this point? You can be happy if someone takes in his contract. Best case is a C. Hernandez return (who had better career numbers and less salary at the time. He also was a rental), so a Pilkington type. I'd take the best rookie league/DSL talent I could get and be happy about it.
