    For cash considerations, good move AA.

    Yup. Good lefty pinch hitter. Will be a little bit of a challenge keeping him sharp. Maybe rest Freddie for a couple games.

    Duda to first, Freeman to third, Camargo to short, Swanson to left and Acuna to center.

    Bam. Done. Easy as pie.

    Cool my prediction came true, I guessed Duda about a week ago now in a discussion about him and Granderson. I just thought Duda was more likely of the two. I always liked him too (he looks like Brian McCain to me, lol).

    Great move. Needed the lefty power bat, got the lefty power bat. Once Duvall comes around (he has a -50 delta between his wOBA and xwOBA) we are going to have a very strong bench. Duda, Duvall, Culberson, and Flowers/Suzuki is a really nice group of pinch hitting options off the bench. Hopefully Snitker will deploy them properly

    i'll settle for resting him and Markakis one game each knowing how stubborn Freeman is about sitting out.

    AA found ways to get some good players without giving up any top prospects.

    We pretty much knew it was either going to be Duda or Granderson.

    Once Donaldson experienced calf pain they were able to move on a bench bat.

    If Donaldson sits out the rest of the year, how much do you think a contract would cost us this offseason?

    I know it sounds weird, but I actually think Freeman is a little selfish by not taking some breaks...he didn't take one game off during that 22 in 20 days streak, and it's kind of showing on the offensive side.

    i think that mentality is a feature not a bug

    What are the corresponding moves here? I assume Ruiz gets sent down for Duda, but who goes for the catcher?

    Likely one of the pen arms...only two days until they can come back up.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
