Bastardo had 6k, 0bb before it seemed like he ran out of gas in the 5th.

Stephen Scott bomb
Alfaro opt out is Thursday, Scott probably replaces him in Worcester then
I'm kinda thinking Alfaro might take McGuire's job, btw. Reese has been horrendous this year (.212 xwOBA, bad defensive metrics). McGuire does have two more years of control though.

Not saying they wouldn’t necessarily move on from McGuire at some point, I just don’t think they would do it for a guy who can’t catch at all (and also is a RHH like Wong) It is alarming how McGuire’s defense has fallen off a cliff |

Abreu on base 3 out of 4 PA
With Allen gone and Tapia likely out of the org once Duvall is activated, Abreu should move up to #6 on the major league OF depth chart

I don't know where he stands as a catcher, but there is a place for him in MLB. He can hit and has charisma. We'll rue the day and be wistful if he goes methinks. |

Yup, that's the question...but I wonder if he could not serve as a part time catcher/dh. Is he really terrible at catcher? He has a certifiable gun for an arm. |

To me, he's Gary Sanchez with more hair and a personality. Sanchez was just released by the Mets after only 3 days with the club.

I had that in mind as well..not great catchers, strike out a lot, have power, cannons,.....but I think Alfaro is a better hitter..at least for average and his swashbuckler style gains him points. |
