But the two call ups are taking over Cabby and McFarland's spots. What Goold says anyway. Not that it matters.

Seems they're just burning low risk options a la Kramer Robertson. They probably want to wait as long as possible on Burleson's clock.

Capel was from the Oscar Mercado trade.

I thought Flaherty’s shoulder felt the best it had in years. Guess not.

Taking their spots on the 40 man, which is allowable due to covid.

I know, I'm just making that distinction because it seems Connor Thomas is knocking on the door too.

Flaherty has only pitched 8 innings over 3 games so I don't want to hear he would've been fine if he just took 2 more rehab starts. So he develops the same issues while pitching for Memphis than with the Cardinals. It doesn't really change anything.

The team rolling the dice with often-injured players going into the season when plenty of talent was available to sign is ridiculous.

Flaherty
Matz
Reyes
Mikolas
Hicks

All had question marks and/or heavily documented injury history. Mikolas, thank god, is having no issues. Even Waino repeat of 2021 was a high risk. Makes no sense. Then you signed Drew VerHagen and Aaron Brooks and Zach McCallister to insult the fans? A joke.

Now what's the plan? Montas sounds beyond reach. They need to make a pre-deadline John Lackey type move like no other. No idea who is on the block. The trade chip I use is Dickerson to a lefty OF starved playoff team. Phillies might want him. Probably need an AL team to make any deal.

I honestly look at trading Liberatore if they want a front line starter. If Libby netted Montas and a AA starter in Oakland's top 30, I do it.

But, it is your decision. Like, Jack can tell you he feels fine, but every athlete's going to say that.
