Barring an injury in the OF? July...probably All-Star break. If VS2 is still struggling, then you send VS2 down, and promote Torres. Under no circumstances can you field a team with 3 Redundant Players like VS2, Church and Torres...quick, LH, CF types...especially since Noot will be back....that would be 4 LH OF...not going to happen.

Torres isn't in our future, imo...not with the draft coming up where there's a high chance we draft a CF of some type early on. And he can be traded this fall

I don't see them as redundant. I think we could use Torres' bat. Our production runs aground after Church. I'd like both Torres and Crooks to come up.

I don't mind Crooks coming up...but he would Need to play catcher...and I don't see them removing Pages or Herrera at this time.

It's a messed up situation, tbh. Now if the starting staff was performing poorly, I'd see no issue cutting ties with Pages...whether trade, demotion, etc...but he's manning a pretty impressive pitching staff...who can't strikeout anyone....so that's says something about Pages behind the plate. The defense up the middle is a big credit, but so is Pages...I think, I could be wrong on that. I'm sure there's some metric out there that says Purple is Green and I'm way off base...but I think Pages stays for now. And the team needs/wants Herrera's bat in the lineup, so he gets the 2/5 catching duties each week.
