Predict the next roster move(s)

[jsnpritchett]

It's pretty clear that they have to do something after tonight's game.  If it doesn't involve DFA'ing Suarez, I'd be surprised.  Kenny Rosenberg just pitched on Thursday, so he probably wouldn't be added to the roster.  I think Wantz is still on the injured list?  So likely not him.  Amir Garrett just pitched last night.  Could be him in theory.  Tyler Thomas hasn't pitched in a few days, so he should be fresh.

Thoughts?  And does anyone think there might be other moves made?

time to say good bye and thank you to suarez. enough is enough.

Suarez and Hicks gone, Amir and Paris up.

I almost made the Hicks/Paris prediction, but Paris has been SO BAD this year that they might not bring him up even though he's on the 40-man and they need IF depth. He's hitting .085 so far, with 29 K in 59 AB.

He’s on the 40 man which is why I made the prediction.

But if you drop both Suarez and Hicks, you'd clear two spots on the 40-man. Garrett would take one, so you could add someone else if you wanted to--though as I've said elsewhere, the options at AAA are sickening.

Cisnero and Suarez both need to go.  They can option Soriano, if they want to.  I’d like to see them do that, then bring him back in 15 days as a reliever.  He hasn’t been consistent as a starter, but he’s dominant as a reliever.

DFA Suraez and Cisnero

Call up Garret and Erla

Thaiss needs to play more against righties, while splitting time between 1st/Dh/c 

Put Sano on the Il. it's not going to be a quick fix.

Rendon to the 60 day il

bring up Wallace as back-up Catcher. 

give trout a day off

Move Adell to the lead-off spot and rengifo to the 3-hole.

So you think Erla's handful of innings as a reliever this season outweigh his absolute shitshow of a year last year? I'd be shocked if they added him to the 40-man or active roster any time soon. 

[Angel Oracle]

Subparez, Hacks, and S_itnero need to go.

Call up Kerry, Garrett, and anyone for the INF.

This shouldn’t even be a thought processed by anyone with the Angels.

What an embarrassment that’d be if they option Soriano after one bad start, while keeping a bunch of bad pitchers (Cisnero, Suarez, Fulmer).

It’d be a stupid move and send an awful message to the clubhouse and fans.

[BTH]

I think they phantom IL Cisnero or Fulmer and call up Bryan Shaw.

Move Rendon to the 60-day IL for space on the 40.

What makes you guys think Hicks could get DFAd and Paris get called up? Sano’s injury?

I don’t see them cutting Hicks this early.

I admittedly didn’t watch today’s game, but:

Soriano’s 1st start, he got screwed by bad luck/defense. He was fine after the weird 1st inning where the ball kept pin-balling everywhere and Thaiss couldn’t locate the ball.

His 2nd and 3rd starts were good.

His 4th was bad, it appears.

They don't need 5 OF, and, yeah, just more IF coverage if Sano's injury lingers. Though, as I just said in the Gameday Thread, Washington said Sano was available to at least hit tonight.

I’d like to see:

Schanuel

Trout

Adell

Ward

O’Hoppe

as the 1-5

So, your just going to ignore the fact that he was a starter the previous few seasons?

He's 26, there no reason to keep him in the minors. Give him a shot and see what he can do!

it's not a bad idea, but Schanuel has not been able to drive the ball much. personally I prefer Adell, in the hope he can fit into a similar role as Betts and Acuna.

No, I'm not ignoring the switch from starter to reliever. I'm simply saying that 6 good innings isn't enough to justify giving him a shot.

I guess it depends on what you want out of your leadoff hitter.

I’d prefer someone who can get on base ahead of the middle of the order.

He excelled in that spot last season, and I would’ve just left him in that spot to begin this season.

Well, everyone has there own takes and for me after watching 2 of those 6 innings, I'd give him a shot
