I mean. I could be reading too much into it, but maybe its just a professional courtesy to show he is trying to make it back and not just sitting around collecting checks.

Singleton is going to be the next Tyler White isn't he?
Come up to the show and knock the cover off the ball, win AL player of the month, then teams will realize you just have throw anything that spins and he won't do anything remotely close to his first month, we'll all bltch endlessly, and eventually he'll end up getting DFA'd.

Cesar Salazar coming up would be a really funny letdown

We have different definitions of funny. He is a left-handed hitter though...texasaggie2015 said:

I would 100% be for calling up Cesar instead of Singleton if it meant Diaz played everyday going forward.Farmer1906 said:Not if it meant Diaz plays every day.texasaggie2015 said:

While this would be the reasonable thing to do if they brought up Salazar, they had every chance to do this in the past when he was up and didn't do it.texasaggie2015 said:
I really think this will be Singleton or Salazar. I'm split 50/50.
Like Farmer said, if it's Salazar, that likely means more Diaz ABs.

yes, and to be fair to Dusty...
arguably the single biggest problem on the team is Jose Abreu.
he's up to 454 plate appearances and 414 at-bats at a .641 OPS clip...OPS+ of 77
if he were providing the .800 OPS that he's being paid to provide...
the Astros lead the division by 3 games instead of trailing by 3 games
He did not. Poor guy, but then again he wasn't on the team last year anyway.Mathguy64 said:
So, did Julks get to go to the WH or did they send him down and tell him to get on a plane?
My guess would be he is treated just like any free agent signing or other trade who wasn't on the team last year. I can't imagine those guys get to go if they had zero to do with winning a world series.Mathguy64 said:

Sad not seeing McCullers, Gurriel, or Click there.
EastCoastAgNc said:Blum and TK are employed by the team. Their marching orders are to not say anything negative about the team or players and make everything sunshine and rainbows all the time. Of course they're going to speak glowingly about the possibilities.gigemJTH12 said:why is he taking BP then?texasaggie2015 said:
Nothing has changed. Brantley is not going to contribute this year. If by some miracle he does, it's going to be in a very limited role.
not doubting you just genuinely curious.
weird that Blum and TK still talk about him working his way back. seems like if it was that clear cut they would be informed and not saying those type things on broadcast (okay this part is kind of doubting you lol)
If, by some miracle he comes back, I imagine it's in September and he's only used for pinch hit duties.
