I would rather them bring up Moniak and let him hit lead-off. Get rid of Herrera and keep Vierling to give Schwarber and Castellanos. Definitely need to get rid of Familiar and for the life of me, I can't understand why he isn't gone by now.FolesMVP09 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 8:24 pmUnless they trade for a CF, I'd be surprised to see Vierling demotedChristopher wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:50 pm There's a lot of options, but I can't imagine them cutting Didi when they won't even cut Familia.
I suspect we might see:
IN: Segura, Sosa
OUT: Munoz, Vierling
Other minor trades between now the deadline could affect things, too.

I'm not convinced Vierling is a major league regular, but I'd be shocked if he gets sent down. He's proven to be a valuable player.FolesMVP09 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 8:24 pmUnless they trade for a CF, I'd be surprised to see Vierling demotedChristopher wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 7:50 pm There's a lot of options, but I can't imagine them cutting Didi when they won't even cut Familia.

Moniak is hitting over .300 leading off and is their best defensive CF. Am I convinced that his hitting will translate to the majors I don't know, but he needs more of a chance than he was given. Stott is improving at the plate but it has taken him a lot of bats to stop chasing bad pitches.. A lot of these young guys need a year for them to improve at the plate.FolesMVP09 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:18 pmAgree on Familia, but Moniak can't hit a lickVegas Eagle Fan wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 9:15 pmI would rather them bring up Moniak and let him hit lead-off.

Moniak can't hit a breaking ball. He's not the answer, but maybe they can convince some team to take him as a throw-in in some trade.Vegas Eagle Fan wrote: ↑Sat Jul 30, 2022 11:10 pmMoniak is hitting over .300 leading off and is their best defensive CF.
