Mickey Gasper will hit fifth against righties until 2029. Get use to it.

Possibly correct - but they wont play him against lefties and thats what most people are missing.  Gasper is awful against LHP.  Wong hits RHP by far the best of the 3 and is a better fielder than Gasper.

If you demote an RP, then we have a 7-guy BP going into a 4 games in 3 days series.  And they have to stay demoted for ten days.  If Yordie Alvarez was coming back, you do what you have to do.  For our guys. I wouldn't try to get too fancy.

I had forgotten about the 10 day rule, that must be a newer thing cuz we use to use i-95 providence to pawtucket to expand our depth and just move guys down who werent avaialable and move guys up when we needed innings and maybe do some position player shuffling too.  Prob put some parameters around it cuz league felt teams were exploiting something (like the 10 day rule).  Good point, good point

I think the Sept 1st call-up rule supersedes the 10 day rule.

I believe it does not.  But Gasper’s can still be recalled in the event of injury…
