I think Texas gets in, and represents a very scary wild card team, but i think they chase down Seattle or Houston before they do Boston.Boston's only 2gms up on the red hot Rangers for the last playoffs spot now (tied with HOU and SEA).
Fuck Boston so much.
Hoffman moreso needs to be treated with kids gloves then dropped completely.Out of everyone honestly...Hoffman kinda deserves to be dropped. Not that it would ever happen, or should, but still.
Loperfido and Lukes do the same job, there simply isnt room for both with Springer/Varsho/Santander/Schneider/Straw on the roster, and i think Straw is fairly important for his glove and speed, even if i hate using him as a PHLoperfido has really just been excellent every chance he gets. Guy is hitting .349 closing in on 100 ABs, and who knows what a regular spot might have gotten out of him. I think I'd have to keep him. France has been useful, but I guess they will love Falafel till the end of time. Gimenez still just irks me, even though I know they can't drop him. Crazy how deep and good a team this is.

They love IKF for some reason, and if the reason was being in a platoon with Gimenez while Barger is in a platoon with Clement i'd be much happier with the arrangement, but these guys love the versatility and D of this bunch and are unaware some are not that great hitters.
France has hit well, sure, but the fact he is strictly a 1B hurts the hell out of him IMO, and i suspect if Santander was healthy he wouldnt have been acquired in the first place.
I suppose you could send down Davis and then DFA France closer to the end of the season, but that doesnt sit well with me
ClementWho plays first if Vladdy gets injured and France is gone?
I think two Loperfido and Lukes are better than IKF and maybe even one of the relievers. I don't know, Loperfido has just impressed the fuck out of me this season.
Santander or Clement, but also, who really cares? it's 1BWho plays first if Vladdy gets injured and France is gone?

I think it's possible that's changed a few years ago.Thought you had to be on the 40-man by Sept 1 to be eligible for the playoff roster.
It will be fun to see Yesavage in MLB anyway.
Vladdy’s D at first has been huge all year.Santander or Clement, but also, who really cares? it's 1B
They have to be in the system by the 1st.I think it's possible that's changed a few years ago.
I cant imagine why they wouldnt add him and DFA Orelvis on Aug 29th as opposed to 10 days later
Your point was if he gets hurt, just let Loperfido do it then and also, its probably over anywaysVladdy’s D at first has been huge all year.
Is in the system the same as on the 40?They have to be in the system by the 1st.
No. So Yesavage would be eligible. It just means that if we claimed IKF one day later, he wouldn't have been eligible.Is in the system the same as on the 40?
