I like to play guess the corresponding roster moves...

I'm not sure if this works because I don't know all the rules, but Russell isn't on the 40-man which is at 40 (with Jacob Turner on the 60-day DL). Transfer Mike Olt to the 60-day DL (he's in a cast for 3 weeks and then will likely have to rehab for about 3-4 weeks after or longer), send Alcantara to Iowa and purchase the contract of Russell?

Today is a great day.

I think that'll be it. Rumor is Mendy is definitely the one being sent down, at least, and he certainly should be.

Muskat had Mendy going down. Another possible move would be Wada to the 60 day.  That would keep him out about another 5 weeks. Haven't seen a schedule on him.

Want a live action scouting report? I watched Wada pitch Friday. His control was terrible and everything he left over the plate got smoked. It was a minor miracle he only gave 1 run. I wouldn't want him up in the big leagues, but he seemed close enough to healthy that the 60 day DL doesn't make a ton of sense for him. Olt makes more sense, considering the cast won't even come off for a month.

They could just DFA Herrera.

They could just DFA Herrera.

I doubt they'd leave themselves without a single backup infielder, but Herrerra's gone as soon as La Stella gets back, I'm sure. I hope so. Oh God what if he isn't.

We could always enlist your neighbors to raise another FIREBARN.

... I doubt they'd leave themselves without a single backup infielder...

But David Ross being on the roster definitely isn't a problem.

Certainly not, and even if it were, could we get angry at him about that, really?

With Mendy going down by staying on the 40-man, I think Dallas Beeler goes to the 60-day DL.

Could be Olt, but Beeler is my guess. They've got 100 Dallas Beelers at the ready.

David Ross just makes the worst personnel decisions!

He's Jim Hendry with a beard.

So, Mike Olt to the 60-day DL and Alcantara to Iowa. Without Baez, Iowa's lineup is a sadness bowl. Maybe Vogelbach will get promoted in a few weeks and Baez can come back from being with his family. Other than that...we have Schwarber to sploosh over and...? Brian McKinney? C. J. Edwards? Jake Stinnett? Yeah there's still lot of sploosh left in this nut canister.

Is Brian McKinney related to Billy McKinney?

And yeah my hope is at least a midseason promotion to Iowa for Schwarber and Vogelbach so I can watch some fat guy homers.

I'm kidding, because I will have like a 2 month old baby and I will never do anything fun again.
