Getting PA's at Memphis could up his trade value, although he's likely nothing more than a toss in when C. Bloom deals D. May, Noot, and/or JoJo.
C. Prieto (.321 .371 .568 .939) can easily be recalled from Memphis if they want to send Saggese down.
Fermin can also be sent down too, Pozo could easily be released.

When one takes 20-30 different, often conflicting, and constantly changing positions on every player, odds are pretty good at least one of them eventually will land somewhat close to the mark.Jatalk wrote: ↑24 Apr 2026 12:27 pmExactly what was your prediction?

It is like playing Roulette with this guys posts. Play all day and surely or in this case, "Shady" your number will hit eventually. He should change his name to Roulette, even though "Shady" is pretty accurate as well.

Until Noot returns, Fermin should get playing time in LF if Church bumps VSII fron CF.

Come June 1, there could be much more depth in the outfield for Marmol to choose from. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Re: Check out this mammoth blast by Joshua Baez
I agree on Baez he may not even be called up this year they may do him like they did JJ and not call him up let him make the team out of spring training. You could be right about church replacing Scott in center when noot returns don’t know about that though on St. Louis sports central the guys said some in the organization are very high on church and there’s some in the organization who are very high on Scott so i guess it will come down to who bloom is higher on although oli could get both players plenty of playing of time if he wants torockondlouie wrote: ↑24 Apr 2026 14:02 pmLikely they give VSII the bulk of the time in CF until Noot returns, Church in LF.Shady wrote: ↑24 Apr 2026 13:48 pmAre you then OK with Scott in CF for the next 4-6 weeks?
