Hoping both Crooks and Prieto are in this evening's lineup.

Hampson and Fermin are redundant with Church or Prieto up. Crooks takes the roster spot of one of those, I assume.

Could see Winn to the IL if they shut him down?

I'd guess Winn to IL and ?????? Hampson down? Didn't I see that Pozo took a hard hit to the mask last night? Maybe concussion?????

Okay

FINALLY

A call-up we've all been wanting to see.

I'd DFA---Pages

Give Crooks the bulk of the games the rest of the season w/Pozo as his backup.

are you still calling Contreras and Herrera catchers? Because I don't think management is.

good luck, Crooks....you've been good with the running game. I hope that continues in the Majors.

He strikes out way too much...and that's a stat that only goes up with better pitching.

Give them hell, Crooks!!!! Turn on a few ; a couple of HR will make the masses forget about the swing and miss!!

103 wRC+ with Memphis this season

150 wRC+ with Springfield last season.

He's not trending too well...I hope everyone has Pages expectations with a splash of Bad Gorman for Crooks at the plate

I watched a few Memphis games, and he looks a bit on the thick side and is listed at 6 feet, 230. I'm guessing speed is not one of his assets. :lol:

Crooks will go into a platoon.

Pages is practically a rookie. I believe he has some value.

Good call, give him and Prieto a good run at C and 2B/3B respectively for the rest of the season. Bernal is next up in the C que mid next year. Either Pages or Pozo are done for next year

Burly and Pozo to IL

I don’t see Prieto ever being more than a bench piece.

Crooks-I would package him in a trade this offseason for pitching while his stock is high. Bernal should be the catcher of the future.

Well with Crooks here, Pages will need to be moved to LF. Pozo will stay as backup but also take reps at 3B.

Won't be long before all 5 are in the lineup!
