I'm in...figured we would do one more combined rivalry thread, but of course I'm riding with our squad when push comes to shove.

Backup catchers & Desmond

So are you sold with our catching situation going into the post season...even if Chirinos comes back?

No way. I think Wilson stays up, but Holaday will go down. Chirinos and Wilson will be a good platoon, even though they're both right handed batters.

ETA: I know there are very few lefty batting catchers, makes me wish we still had Salty. He crushes from the left.

If someone can turn Holland around, I'll be happy. Maybe find out who calls his best games & make him his personal catcher. Have a feeling we will need him, even if/when Yu gets back.

Beltre with an amazing 9 pitch AB ending in a double ...F YEA!!

I'm honestly not sure if he'll ever be back to what he was and it's sad.


Beltre

Feel u on salty ...if he didn't get the yips, thought he was going to be a core piece. Though can't complain with that haul, Matt Harrison's injuries notwithstanding

If not, we could use another arm in the pen to take Tanner's role from last year &/or long relief. As well as ol boy pitched last nite, don't want to be riding with a whiffle ball thrower , except for spot starts

Damn, Dallas about to get chased out early

Don't be shocked if Gallo/Profar and maybe some else are sent for Chapman or another elite reliever if teams are out of contention later this year.

I would love that. Need to go all in b4 Yu hits FA, & this is an older team even with a good farm system. Hate to lose Gallo, but with Beltre re-upping, and Mazara looking like the 2nd coming of Ruben Sierra, I'll sacrifice those studs for the Cuban

Fricking Alberto man. Such a AAAA player. Can't hit, and now can't even field a simple grind ball. Profar- get ready

Gotta do it, although it makes me sick to see the Yankees cash in on him.

Very true. Luv Desmond though. Our version of Swiss Army knife Ben Zobrist.

Best case, DeShields finds himself like Odor last year, & move Desmond to LF for Rua.

Anything later with Josh vs righties later becomes a bonus.

Agreed. This time last year there's no way in hell I'd say lets trade Gallo, but I've come to realize that he isn't Kris Bryant and I think he's more of a Mark Reynolds type than anything else.

No way we move on from Elvis/Odor up the middle anytime soon also, so that makes sense for Profar to move as well. Our middle infield prospect depth is also very deep.

Well best case scenario is Mazara in left, Desmond in CF and Choo in RF.
