see, Todd, what you do now is laugh about it and say something like


oh boy, I nailed that one


not garble some nonsense about context

[Beef]

ohmygosh, just freakin admit you were wrong

[HUGG]

BUT WHEN I SAID IT, IT WAS TRUE

YOU DON'T GET IT BEEF

[Beef]

yeah but in the end result

[dim]

Adam Conley now with 1 ER allowed in his last 24 IP.

I think Brian Flynn's earned a September call up to take over Koehler's rotation spot. Flynn becoming a capable starter at the major league level would be a very nice surprise.

[HUGG]

He's definitely earned a look.

Given his K rate as a starter, you have to think he can be an effective reliever if nothing else.

I know I'll probably get chastised for this, but Flynn isn't Rule V eligible until next off-season and the 40-man is full and will continue to stay close to it. In the off-season they'll subtract Pierre, Polanco, Qualls, Dobbs, Kotchman and Diaz. They'll have to add Solarzano, Urena, Keys and Dayton with Black, Perio, Brady and Hodges as "maybe". Granted they can get rid of some guys currently on it (Skipworth, Brown, Lucas, Mahoney, Dyson, Ceda, Below, Hatcher, Caminero)

[HUGG]

can't call up Flynn in September cause we might lose Jordan Brown or Sam Dyson

pretty much none of the guys you listed would get claimed, most likely

It's full now, but don't rule out a spot or two opening with Ozuna to the 60-day DL and a trade or two.

I'm not worried about losing them, I am just saying there's going to be little wiggle room this off-season.

But remember in September if you move a player to the 60-day disabled list, you can only purchase the contract of the same type of player (in Ozuna's case, a position player.)

[HUGG]

I'm sure they'll add him to it before September.

[Miamarlin21]

Just trying to think of all the possibilities

[HUGG]

what if we trade 2 guys not on the 40 for Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg tomorrow?

I bet you didn't consider that
