Tyler O'Neill going to be a part-time guy all year (until he hits the IL)?
AvatarJon Becker

Unless Beavers or Cowser fall off a cliff, probably. I guess O'Neill could hit his way into more time but even the "regular" version of O'Neill probably plays... I dunno, maybe five days a week tops? ... to keep him healthy

Can one of you please reach out to AJ Hinch and let him know that replacing Colt Keith or Kerry Carpenter with Jahmai Jones in the seventh inning isn't worth losing their at-bat in the ninth inning? Do you expect Wenceel Perez or Max Clark to make a push sooner rather than later for any combo of Jones, Meadows, or Vierling?

As someone who is a diehard fan of a team and follows each game as close as possible, I agree that there are a lot of moves that managers make throughout a game that are head-scratchers. It's not that we know more. We know a lot. Maybe having so much data, personal connections to players, and having the pressure in that moment makes it more difficult for a manager. It's not an easy job, especially because it can all get magnified if it doesn't work.

Meadows has been fine and probably just good enough for now. I think Wenceel would be next in line if they decide to move on from any one of those guys. But Clark is definitely putting himself in position to be on this team in 2026. Very early and small sample, but I thought there was a good chance his ETA was 2027. Mid-2026 might be more likely.

Jacob Berry has an .864 OPS so far in AAA. Still I don’t see him fitting into the Marlins team at all. Think he’s up this year?
AvatarJon Becker

You never know what's going to happen with injuries, but he's just never really hit in the minors and his defense has graded out poorly no matter where they've tried him, so I can't imagine promoting him is a big priority, especially with all the lefty bats they've got.

How do the giants get more pt for Susac? DH or just too early to tell?

He's getting 1 start per week. Maybe that jumps to 2 in the near future. Bailey is so valuable defensively but it's quickly turning into an Austin Hedges/Brad Ausmus (for those who remember) situation. How bad of a hitter does this guy have to be before his elite defense no longer matters enough for him to remain a starter?

But even if they think that Susac could be their starting catcher at some point, I'm sure they feel that him watching Bailey on a daily basis is going to help him more than anything right now. The more he plays, the more his bat could be exposed and he could lose focus on the long-term goals.

what happened to Cade Winquest? He made the roster but hasn’t appeared yet
AvatarJon Becker

Been a long time since the Yankees rostered a Rule 5 guy (2011), and it's fairly rare for any contending team to do so. Unlike the Blue Jays, who've had all those pitching injuries and have needed to lean on their own R5 guy in Spencer Miles, the Yankees have had the fewest RP innings in the league and are playing a lot of close games. So just a matter of finding the right time for Winquest (and it probably won't be today, currently 0-0 in the 7th inning).

How long before Richard Fitts gets a rotation shot with the Cards?
AvatarJason Martinez
3:06
I've guessed that he's in the rotation for good by mid-to-late May, barring an injury. No reason to change that right now. Dustin May is the only starter who has struggled but he'll get time to try to figure things out.
That will do it for today. Thanks for joining us. Enjoy your weekend!
