Upcoming Roster Moves

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Honestly, I don't know if I'm an OGon fan or not, but I'm a fan of finding out.
I’m with you , if the experts are right , good chances he will flop, but I would like for that to happen here just in case they are wrong….Hate for him to blossom somewhere else, teams like the Reds, Pirates, Oakland etc etc could afford to find out……
 
I have to agree that the numbers don't support the general concensus that he doesn't have the skills to succeed in MLB.

He is 'unlikely' to hit MLB pitching, but he doesn't K much, while showing tremendous power. His BA is generally solid, and not sustained by high BABIP. It isn't like he is a dead pull hitter. The main knock is that he swings at everything and doesn't take walks.

He is a 'liability' on defense, but he hasn't made an error in RF and already has six assists in 35 games.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when our decision makers are discussing him.
 
So, who are the Guardians going to call up for the weekend? With DH today, they need someone come Sat without a rainout.

Myers is on roster and has improved a bit but maybe not enough for mlb game.
Battenfield can be brought onto 40 for Ramirez (the other one - pitcher)
Civale is starting to move around and supposedly doing some fielding work today with a few minor league rehab starting this weekend or next week per Tito (can he go at least a few innings but then burn rehab that Tito said will be a few games)
Castro can come up for a few innings of a ballpen game but who then gets sent down?
Morgan is just 2-3 inning guy now

No for sure answer ... maybe with all rain in 4-cast mother nature takes care of things. if Shaw is healthy by then, maybe bullpen game.

Edit - Keep on forgetting McCarty is on roster but like Castro need to option off someone like Palacios but who comes up next after game (or maybe Shaw to DL)?
