Anyways, McCosky doesn't know what he is talking about, in general. In the case of SGL, they don't pick him up in the deadline if they don't plan on adding him. Honestly, I think you brought it up when they got him that by acquiring him they knew he would have to be protected in the rule 5 and put on the 40 man and we did MN a favor by making it easier on them and their 40 man. Good thing there is quite a bit of dead weight that can be slid off of it after the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 This is a bit dated, but this type of calculation is a lot more reasonable than anything McCosky and his complete lack of ability to understand any roster rules or nuance could muster. Note the Tigers aren't listed, which implies they don't have a crunch to worry about. Plenty if flotsam on the current 40 man. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/examining-the-american-leagues-2022-40-man-crunch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) Well atleast it wasnt arm related, of course its not exactly ideal to hear an 18 year old complain about any sorta back problems even if it is just "stiffness" either.

RandyMarsh Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 A few lines from tonight of note. Tork a double for 4 with a walk. Dingler 2 for 4 with a HR and a walk. Santana a Homer for 3 with a walk. On a side note while looking at the AAA box scores I noticed our old pal Christin Stewart is still around playing for the Worcester Sox, he hit his 19th HR of the season and now has an OPS in the upper .800s. I wonder if he will ever get another crack at the big leagues or if he is just going to be a minor league lifer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edman85 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Also, that 60 day rule is a big reason why there is a rash of free agent signings around mid February when 40 man spots open up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Scouring the box scores tonight and not a whole lot of positive things to pass on that I can gather. Kriedler had a nice day going 3-5 with a HR bringing his season OPS to .795 in Toledo. Also Gage Workman was 2-4 with a double and triple down in Erie. On the pitching front Reese Olson went 6 innings of 4 run baseball with 6Ks in Erie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I happened to have the afternoon sports radio come on in my car today and I was amused to hear several minute's prattle regarding various silly betting options on sporting events, it struck me that there must be millions of people out there watching sports with no interest in the actual net outcome of the human competition and it seemed a fan more interested in how hard Tork hit the ball instead of the rare but absurd game outcome of the AB summed it all up.
