Re: Saggese up, Urias IL
I don't really understand this move unless Saggese now, at least, gets some ABs vs LHP. Saggese needs ABs, somewhere.

Re: Saggese up, Urias IL
I inadvertently saw the usual, spiteful Guru post. Here's what the Guru probably doesn't get. Mendoza is a really good, verastile RH hitting infielder. Bring him up for a bench role. Let Saggese get the ABs he needs at Memphis.

Re: Saggese up, Urias IL
They were sending Saggesse down because he wasn’t getting enough pitches to see. Marmol said even 2 games a week wouldn’t be enough. So, that situation hasn’t changes. He won’t get 3 games a week. Did he need more ABs or not?

DFA Saggese, select the contract of Mendoza...okay, honestly, I didn't see you taking it this direction.

you see...Urias is hurt. A RHB was needed.Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑05 May 2026 17:15 pmThey were sending Saggesse down because he wasn’t getting enough pitches to see.

Find me the RHB on the 40 man roster we can promote outside of a not ready Baez.

Re: Saggese up, Urias IL
But Urias being out is one less guy to block him. Sometimes injuries change plans.Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑05 May 2026 17:15 pmThey were sending Saggesse down because he wasn’t getting enough pitches to see.

Re: Saggese up, Urias IL
Here’s what you definitely “don’t get”: an MLB 40-man roster can’t (and shouldn’t) be managed like a perpetual high school open tryout.Shady wrote: ↑05 May 2026 17:14 pmI accidently saw the briiliant Guru post.

Re: Saggese up, Urias IL
I know you think you’re cute, but Saggesse isn’t a right handed bat. He’s no bat at all. Once the organization said he wasn’t ready and needed to be sent down, there’s no point in keeping him here. He’s not the only right handed bat in the minor leagues.craviduce wrote: ↑05 May 2026 17:18 pmyou see...Urias is hurt.

We could try having a back up, outfielder too since we have none.
God forbid there’s another injury. We’ll have to play with 24 players because they have nobody else to bring up.

no...I was explaining why it had to be Saggese and one one else.Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑05 May 2026 17:34 pmI know you think you’re cute, but Saggesse isn’t a right handed bat. He’s no bat at all.

If you don't want Saggese up, then you have to DFA him off the 40 man and select the contract of Moore, Jordan (not versatile), Mendoza...that's your RHB options that are playing well enough....Jordan needs the AB's so he's even less attractive

Mendoza should have been the RH hitting infielder that was called up to replace Urias.Cardinals1964 wrote: ↑05 May 2026 17:34 pmI know you think you’re cute, but Saggesse isn’t a right handed bat.
