Swinging the bat can’t be a good way for this injury to heal and based on history I’m just guessing he will hit IL at least 10 days.

Nathan Church is on fire this year with a .940 OPS this season between AA and AAA coming into today (hit 2 HRs today so far). He ought to get a chance at some point soon.

Yes sort of makes me wonder about the Hampson transaction. Sort of defeats purpose of looking at young guys.

I get that Hampson isn’t much to get excited about.
But...like Barrero before him he is basically just the 26th man and only an emergency fill in.
The only issue I see with Noot going on the IL would be a backup for CF.
Hampson I guess can fill in for Scott on the rare days he sits(LH starter).
Either guy hits 9th so no biggie there.
Corner OF would be Burleson and Donovan.
Hopefully Walker is back soon? I like to think Saggese can also be a fill in for Corner OF.
They should have been giving him looks there in AAA if he is to be the next Donovan?
Siani can at least give you GG defense in an emergency.
A lot of talk about Church. Is he on the horizon?
IF is pretty much set. Saggese for Gorman vs tough lefties.
I don’t really worry about DH.
Hell...let Pozo DH!!!
Hopefully Herrera back sooner than later???

Hitting .377 with a 1.104 OPS in AAA right now, so he should be.

I get the frustration from those on here.
The dilemma:
They really do need to find out once and for all what is up with Walker and Gorman in 2025.
I’d throw Noot in there as well as to me he is too feast or famine.
Church probably has earned his shot. Saggese also!
But it’s not fair to bring those guys here to mostly sit on the bench.
Ssggese is only up because BOTH Walker and Herrera are out.
Next year JJ and Crooks, etc become front and center.
And the more I think about it I don’t think Arenado is going anywhere???

Not as long as Mo is calling the shots. I think Bloom moves him this winter. He's been a useful player with his defense back to gg type play.

He certainly could be moved and I agree that based on his $$ moving him makes the most sense.
I will miss his defense but his bat is not worth the $$.
Weird situation.
NTC of course complicates matters.
With JJ looming for 2026 and also Saggese you have 2B covered.
Even if Gorman flops you have Donovan for 3B.

Maybe he should have gone to Houston?

there is no accounting for MO's moves

Very true. Its obvious Mo is still in charge. The reset is being conducted in a nonsensical, half-[ashed] manner. Surely Bloom is having little to no input. But if he is on board with these moves, he may be as bad as Mo.

Mo just seems behind in the times. Last year he brought in Lynn thinking fans here wanted someone from the past to be here. Then this year he brings in Maton who was talked about on CT last offseason. And now he brings in Garret Hampson who was coveted by a poster (I think his name had Wisconsin in it) on CT for a long time years ago. Perhaps Girsch’s new assignment is going over the old posts from CT.

Maybe?
I have no idea what is going on with that situation??
If you forced me to place a bet right now...I’d wager he plays out his remaining contract here.
LOL.... now watch him get moved at the deadline!
