    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Well, you're gonna win some and lose some. At least the losses don't have to be embarrassing or stupid.

    Broken toe man no steal.

    Can't send that man down.

    "What place could Rob Refsnyder possibly have on this team?"

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    I think it's probably a long term thing as suggested upthread? Because Rafaela 1/Duran 2 is the same as Rafaela 9/Duran 1. If there's something about Rafaela hitting mistake pitches it might make sense for him to get in before a pitcher is settled. But it would have to be a real skill to...

    Tyler seeing the ball well. So relieved!

    I really don't get Rafaela leading off. I really don't. Why?

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Yoshida: April 15 - 0 for 4 16 - 0 for 6 (maybe a good idea to give him some head space.) 17 - sits while Devers DHs 18 - sits while Wong DHs 19 - 1 for 3 20 - 3 for 4 21 - sits while Heineman DHs (LHP starting) 22 - off day 23 - sits while O'Neill DHs (first day back for O'Neill, wet field...

    Or he has some kind of family issue or something that dovetailed with resting him a few days. You never know what's going on in people's lives.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Yes but. . .maybe Cora is running scared here. I don't know if it's occurred to anyone, but the only guys on the roster who haven't been injured are the guys who aren't actively competing for Robert V. Dalbec's spot. Story - RHH, O'Neill - RHH, Casas - 1B, Devers - 3B, Romy RHH MI, Refsnyder...

    Oh, the whole season is especially weird. But yeah, I agree.

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Cora likes random lineups. Cora likes giving guys days-off. Yoshida is scuffling. Yoshida got 4 games off in mid-April last year and then turned it around. OR Yoshida is a sunk cost and partial DH against righties from today until September 2027?

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I want not to bump this thing but man. . .Tyler Heineman now on the 10 day IL, as O'Neill comes off. This is a snapshot comparison from the opening day roster to today, not a complete record of ups and downs. * is LHH, Bold is opening day roster, call-up replacements are indented, whether...

    Cleveland 4/23, Houck Yeah, It's Tanner Time

    Yeah, with Houck, they want defense first to see if he can go deep again on a low pitch count. O'Neill at DH works as well. They can PH Yoshida and move O'Neill to the field perhaps. There's literally nobody to call up. They just put Heineman on the 10 day IL with a hamstring strain. And...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Neither do I. As you said though, we really don't know what's going on with Casas. Maybe this is one of those things where they'll have better information in the near future. If he's out for 5 weeks, anyone who has to ramp up is not likely to help. If he's out for 9 weeks, it's a different...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    There's no need to cherry pick this stuff to make your point. Dalbec has been awful with the bat at the ML level for some time now. He's been a viable (but high-K) monster at AAA during that same time. The only real issue (as you alluded to) is whether Dalbec is going to hit at the ML level...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Beyond the fact that he's probably a month away (best case), the limitations with Belt are these: Defense: last year in his age 35 season, he was at best an average 1B. Which is certainly not nothing, but you'd be comparing any other defensive 1B replacements to a just average guy. Offense...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I don't know if you've mentioned that before, but it's the first cogent explanation I've read on this. That said, are you sure the 40/60 man dynamic works that way? I do not know. @Red(s)HawksFan might know off the top of his head.

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Project. . .that's tricky. To sort of type/think aloud here, I'd note that the 40 man dynamic is pretty important. You've got 26 guys on the active roster. 13 pitchers, 13 hitters. If a guy goes on the 7/10/15 day IL, you can pull one of the remaining fourteen 40-men up from the minors to...
