I doubt there are any takers, and Pedey has no trade rights. If there's a high-priced RP'er out there someone is looking to dump, and Pedey wants to play there, then maybe a 1-1 trade might be slightly possible, but I think he'll have to be DFA'd, if he fails or gets hurt this next call-up, assuming nobody else gets hurt and forces a roster squeeze.
-
...a couple years of what? ILs after ILs, uncertainty and another year of keeping someone else off the roster. I say, he gets one more chance, and unless someone else goes to the IL, I'd keep Holt over Pedey, for sure. Pearce and Nunez vs Pedey are close calls.
-
Jeter was a prima donna who sucked on defense. Judge is good, but he's a Yankee. Re-read my point: Yankees suck!
-
Chavis is not going down, unless he has a prolonged slump. It will come down to Pedey vs. Nunez vs Holt vs Pearce.
-
...unless they're a Yankee.
-
I see your point, but what purpose does Pedey serve? If Pedey goes, we'd want to keep both Nunez and Holt (and Chavis, of course).
-
I don't disagree, but I think Pedey gets at least this one last chance. As long as Holt remains unready, Pedey will get another chance. When you think of who has the least chance of helping us going forward, I think Pedey heads the list- ahead of Nunez & Pearce.

I was Wake's biggest fan and as his career neared its end, defender.

TW= Tim Wakefield? lol

The decision won't need to be made until Pedey & Holt are both ready, and nobody else can go on the IL (phantom or otherwise). We should try to delay dumping Pearce, so he has a chance to rebound, but we can't send Chavis down right now, just because he has option.. -
I'm with you.

I think it depends on where the player is in his career. JBJ is a bad example for my theory, because I thought his early and prolonged struggles brought down his career numbers by more that what he really was. I thought he was more like a .775-.825 hitter, but he has shown he is not. -
Weird thing is, Workman's K/BB ratio is his worst at 1.75. (His career K/BB is 2.36.) Workman had two almost identical years before this one: 2017: 3.18 ERA/1.210 WHIP in 39.2 IP 2018: 3.27 ERA/1.210 WHIP in 41.1 IP He's been largely unsung. Maybe this is the year he makes a name for himself.

I'm currently going low carb. (LOL)

Assuming 13 position players: 7 Keepers: Betts, Bogey, Beni, JD, Devers, Vaz, Leon 3 Keepers Light JBJ, Moreland, healthy Pedey 3 Slots for 4 on the bubble (my order as of 7:46 pm CT on 5/5/19) 1. Chavis 2. Holt 3. Nunez 4. Pearce

There are some posters (fans) who never "beat Sandy over the head."

Some tiny sample sizes, but... Team ERA by catcher: 4.36 Vaz 4.67 Leon 6.17 Swihart Individual pitcher OPS against by catcher (20+ PAs): OPS/PAs Leon .626/77 Porcello .744/68 Sale Swihart .975/44 Eovaldi .423/26 Velazquez 1.338/26 Porcello 1.077/24 ERod .769/23 Walden Vaz .705/142 Price .729/139 ERod .873/88 Sale .812/51 Velazquez .340/49 Workman .831/49 Eovaldi 1.061/42 Porcello .653/40 Brasier .297/38 Walden .661/35 Hembree .583/33 Barnes .745/32 Brewer .957/31 Thornburg Pitchers Overall OPS against: .301 Workman .450 Walden .514 Barnes .667 Velazquez .695 Brewer .705 Price .768 Hembree .779 ERod .815 Sale .870 Porcello .899 Eovaldi .933 Thornburg QS% 50 Price 43 ERod 43 Sale 33 Porcello 25 Eovaldi 0 Velazquez IP/GS 6.0 Price 5.3 Eovaldi 5.2 ERod & Porcello 5.1 Sale 2.8 Velazquez 1.061/.

I'd keep Holt over Pearce, Nunez & Pedey, assuming he gets back to healthy. Maybe we can IL Pearce, when Pedey is ready. That would buy us more time. When Holt and Pedey are ready, a tough choice will be needed.
-
Ignore the clown. He also wanted Workman canned at the start of the year.

I wish we had a better pen this year, but we look super strong everywhere else. Here's a look at the two pens,so far this year: NYY: 4.29 ERA/ 1.315 WHIP/ 2.40 K/BB BOS: 4.36 ERA/ 1.294 WHIP/ 2.67 K/BB Individual Pitchers by IP as a RP'er only: ERA/WHIP (IP) BOS 1.65/0.765 Walden (16.1) 4.02/1.340 Hembree (15.2) 1.84/0.955 Workman (14.2) 7.98/1.432 Thornburg (14.2) 2.57/0.929 Brasier (14.0) 2.08/0.769 Barnes (13.0) 6.23/1.846 Brewer (13.0) NYY 4.00/1.056 Holder (18.0) 2.20/1.224 Ottavino (16.1) 3.60/1.333 L Cesa (15.0) 4.15/1.538 Britton (13.0) 1.42/0.789 Kahnle (12.2) 2.19/1.054 Chapman (12.1) If Brasier and Barnes can start pitching more than Thornburg and Brewer, maybe we can get even better pen results. It is likely that Walden and Workman will come back down to earth, but we do have some upside at other slots.
-
We will likely not re-sign Moreland and Pearce, so I see Chavis as our 1Bman next year. He may DH at times. I doubt we look to him to be a major factor at 2B.
-
I doubt we carry all 4 of these guys on the 25 all year long: Chavis, Pedey, Nunez & Holt. I suppose Chavis could take Pearce's slot, and we could keep all 4, but we are far away from trading or DFA'ing Pearce.
-
Big game, today! Even JBJ got on base two times and even scored two runs! Porcello looked good. Bogey with the big blast. Man, Pearce is really struggling.

It's also so low, it's almost impossible to decline. -
ERod lead the team in IP this year, something I never thought I'd say. He's gotten past the 5th inning more than usual, too. He's gone 6 or more innings in 3 of his last 5 outings- something he only did twice last year. He was also only one out away from going 5+ IP in his last 5 starts. We are 26-8 in ERod's last 34 starts.
