Backdoor Slider 8,273 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Obviously he's suggesting he got insight but he can't share from who. I think it's definitely plausible. I'm buying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bigpapi88 590 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 In the Taillon thread one of the posters broke the impending call-up before any mainstream source, and was right on the money. No idea if this will turn out the same, but if you're in a redraft league of prospect hounds (assuming he's unowned), here's a chance to get ahead of the crowd.

crookedmacs 119 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Yeah, obviously I can't really talk about who my friend is and what he does, but that was the info I was passed. The corresponding move might be different than sending down White, could also be something with Chapman or someone on the 40 not in the long-term plans . But the main thing was getting through this NL stretch to avoid a bunch of lefties, and opening up in a series against a divisional opponent. He also had some info on Bregman that I'll be comfortable sharing if the Reed call-up goes through 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly what convincing does he need? Dont tease us and then not tell. Whether he's right or wrong about the Reed seems irrelevant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then he will get called up to AAA. They aren't in a rush with him. And they feel the all star game is an imprtant thing. Want him to have recognition for his season thus far. Content with Valbuena and Marwin at the big league level. 1b is the more pressing need.

Wanted to avoid Cincy and the Cardinals since they are heavy with lefty starters. Tyler White will most likely get sent down Phase 1 is complete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cmilne23 10,544 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 @crookedmacs not sure of your preference. But if Reed gets called up when you say. A lot of dudes will be throwing themselves at you. Are you ready for that? 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
High&Inside 1,298 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I understand the excitement of his upside with the potential callup, but aren't we glossing over his struggles this season so far? Predicting an end to his hitting woes against better pitching seems misguided Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea if that's the case here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 11,408 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I feel like he will mash righties and have troubles vs lefties when he comes up. Could be very similar to Conforto in a lot of ways. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
