July 17, 20197 yr Odd to see Indy ball 35 year old. Is this to replace Schoop? I assumed it would be a pitcher. Edited July 17, 20197 yr by Sconnie
July 18, 20197 yr Author Outfield depth at Rochester with Rooker, Raley and Wade on DL. God I hope so!.... but selecting his contract I believe means he’s added to the 40 man roster.... hence being on ML forum Edited July 18, 20197 yr by Sconnie
July 18, 20197 yr I believe by selecting his contract, he will be replacing someone on the 25 man roster. Presumably Schoop.
July 18, 20197 yr God I hope so!.... but selecting his contract I believe means he’s added to the 40 man roster.... hence being on ML forumNo 40 man roster spot is involved here. The MLB club didn't select him from one of their affiliates. The org purchased his contract from an indy league team. The terminology is admittedly confusing!
July 18, 20197 yr Whew! Adding to my confusion was the New Britain tag line. Took awhile to make the connection Edited July 18, 20197 yr by Cornholio
July 18, 20197 yr Doesn’t really say much about how this FO views Nick Gordon.I’m what possible way does this make sense?
July 18, 20197 yr glad to see that New Britain still has a team. de Aza was a passable player for awhile. Must be plugging a leak somewhere in the minor leagues, when they bring someone up to fill in for Schoop.
July 18, 20197 yr I’m what possible way does this make sense?It made sense when I thought de Aza was coming to the big league level to replace Schoop.
July 18, 20197 yr Rochester had a shortage of position players on its roster after putting Rooker on the IL. This is simply minor league depth.
July 18, 20197 yr It made sense when I thought de Aza was coming to the big league level to replace Schoop.I know that it's becoming en vogue around here to pile on Falvey and Levine, but it's hard to imagine any scenario that they'd sign a 35 year old from independent ball, without so much as a single inning of experience anywhere but the outfield, to play middle infield on a 58-36 ballclub.
July 18, 20197 yr Author I know that it's becoming en vogue around here to pile on Falvey and Levine, but it's hard to imagine any scenario that they'd sign a 35 year old from independent ball, without so much as a single inning of experience anywhere but the outfield, to play middle infield on a 58-36 ballclub. the 25 man currently has 7 IF and 3 OF with Cave being one of the OF. It’s not entirely crazy to sign a 35 YO former major leaguer who played for the Nats in 2017 when your AAA team is decimated and your relying every day on Jake Cave
