Yep, Hensley at 6'6" who can play anywhere will likely be a brilliant late innings 1B.

I think Hensley has a spot regardless of Yuli

But Yuli has a cockroach quality about him that I like

The way he appeared in the playoffs when Diaz was nowhere to be found

Not a charity move IMO, unless he was more injured than has been mentioned in Game 5

I agree, but he'll be the last guy on the bench if Yuli is back, because we all know Dubon has a mound of blackmail material on Dusty.

Was readly too quickly... my brain processed:

"a mound of black male material on Dusty"

...and I thought, "well, that's a new take on Dusty, but certainly explains a lot".

Then I re-read it to make sure I read it correctly. Glad I did.

I love Yuli. He's a legend.

I don't want him taking up a roster spot anymore. I'd like to see Hensley and eventually Y. Diaz get those at bats.

2B Altuve
SS Pena
LF Yed
3B Bregman
RF Ted
1B Abreu
DH Uncle Mike
CF Chas/Jake
C OMGWTHC

Bench: Other shitty catcher, Hensley, Chas/Jake, Dubon*

Yeah, I can see it that way

But if the need for Dubon b/c he can play CF keeps Yuli off the roster, Dubon is automatically my default whipping boy

Castro, White, and Reddick have all held that position for me previously

He's my Carlos Gomez. I don't the irrational anger at Dubon like I did Gomez every time that obnoxious MFer swung out of his helmet. But I dislike him the same.

Fell off page 1

Right now our lineup/bench looks something like

Altuve 2B
Pena SS
Yordan DH/LF
Bregman 3B
Tucker RF
Abreu 1B
Brantley LF/DH
McCormick CF
Maldonado C

Bench
Lee or Diaz C
Hensley UTIL
Dubon CF/SS/2B
Meyers OF

Rotation
Framber
Javier
McCullers
Garcia
Urquidy
Brown

Pen
Pressly
Montero
Abreu
Neris
Stanek
Maton
Martinez

Not sure what the situation is with Blake Taylor but he probably factors in as well. It feels like we are probably done. I’d rather see Hensley/Yainer/Lee get ABs than the Tucker Bernhart’s of the world or Yuli (god bless his soul) unless it knocks Dubon off, but that ain’t happening. A small pitching addition, even a small trade for someone with MiL options who can provide some depth, would be nice because it could get thin quick if a couple of those rotation arms go down. But I don’t know if that happens

Lineup- A- (Would be an A or A+ with a good C)
Bench- F
Rotation- A-/B+ (Can Lance stay healthy/How good is Brown?)
Bullpen- A

Yeah currently when there’s injuries it will be mighty thin unless someone like Hensley or Diaz really steps up. Ideally I’d like a proven FA to put on the bench and push Dubon off the roster. Let’s the young guys get exposure without putting too much on their shoulders when guys inevitably get hurt

I think the next news we hear will be a GM signing sometime after the new year. Ideally sooner rather than later

The Giants were planning to introduce Carlos Correa today but the news conference was postponed due to a medical concern, reports Ronald Blum of the Associated Press.

I didn't know Pena taking his soul was considered a medical issue.


In all seriousness, I hope he's okay.

If it’s a legit medical issue, I hope it’s not something serious.

I'd be willing to bet it's a back issue.

Susan Slusser of the SF Chronicle said on Twitter she was told it was not the back that was flagged on the physical.
