Taking a look at the potential postseason roster

[Slippyjms]

Seems mildly wasteful, but of a piece with parsons.

Candidates would seem to be Ortega, Jackson, maybe Hechy when Swanson returns.

I think it’s gotta be Ortega. He hits that sweet spot of least valuable to the MLB team and least likely to be lost by DFA pretty well.

 

[zbhargrove]

Or DFA Dayton.

Yeah no thanks. Dayton is very good

 

[Braves1976]

Dayton is already off the 40-man now that he is on the 60-day DL. He struck out the side in his rehab yesterday but since he was added to the 60-day DL after August 1st he is no longer eligible to return this season. So Dayton may pitch for the G-Braves in the AAA playoffs but he won't be pitching in the Majors again this year.

Where do you come up with this stuff?

He can come back September 10.

I posted about adding him back, then I read this:

"The player may not rejoin the active roster until the minimum 10 or 60 days has elapsed; however, a player's time on the injured list may exceed the specified number of days, and, further, if a player is transferred to the 60-day injured list after August 1, he may not return to the active roster that season."

He might be attempting a comeback as a lefty.

That's why lefties are so crafty. Sometimes, it's years before anyone even knows he's a lefty.

it can be a slow coming out

While true, I believe the Dayton move is retroactive to July 12.

we need a lawyer in the house

They key thing to remember here is that you can change your roster after the WC game.

Playoff Roster Decisions

Needed somewhere to type it out so I can actually see what it would look like...

CF- Acuna, 2B- Ozzie, 1B- Freeman, 3B- Donaldson, RF- Markakis, LF- Riley, C- Mac, SS- Dansby

Bench - Flowers or Cervelli (will be interesting to see who AA picks), Joyce, Culberson, Hechavarria, Hamilton

Rotation - Keuchel, Soroka, Fried, Folty

Pen - Melancon, Greene, Newcomb, Martin, Jackson, O'Day, Blevins, Teheran


Ortega DFA makes room for Markakis, Swarzak DFA makes room for Riley, Tomlin DFA turns Julio into the long guy in the pen. The biggest question is, would AA rather have a third lefty (Dayton?) and hope that Snitker would use Newcomb or Jackson for multiple innings if/when needed rather than carry Julio? The next biggest will probably have to be answered by the scouts - have they seen enough from Riley in the last week to put him on the playoff roster, even if he's not starting?

Kinda have to think the decision on Ender getting back to full health in time to really be much of a helpful piece was made when they wrote the check to pay for buying out Hamilton's 2020 option.

Bumping cause we really only need 1 thread for this

 

[Slippyjms]

There’s already a thread for this

Bumping because clv still has bolded in his signature that we should have signed Kimbrel instead of Keuchel

I think he’s quoting chef not proclaiming that’s what he wanted

I am pretty sure clv was one of the biggest guys on the Kimbrel bandwagon

I don’t know maybe he is and maybe I’m wrong on my statement but for some reason I thought he was just quoting someone

Kimbrel has had 1 bad outing since his first week with the Cubs. Who is to say that he wouldn't have been the better option but of course not at the years that he got?

He’s had more than 1 bad outing and his peripherals are really bad
