    Damn, Colletti would have been all over that like flies to shit.

    The FO probably has him tied down to a chair with a gag.

    I guess they could take a look at moving Barnes with what's coming through the system @ catcher, but his framing/passed ball/defensive metrics are all pretty good. I'd like to see him stay on. I'd venture to say that even Turner could be available under the right circumstances. Although, moving him would lead to a lot of sad faces in the clubhouse. 3B may be calling Seager soon..but even in saying that, JT could maybe slide over to 1B with Bellinger possibly taking CF everyday. No shortage of options. Taylor always looks pretty good at SS. I'd like to see them go for Cesar Hernandez again if it comes to it

    I'm willing to guarantee that Turner is not going anywhere as he is too cheap and one of the best 3B in the game. I do agree that Seager's years should be numbered at SS as this will be his 5th season(MiLB included) in a row where he has broken down at the end of it. Seems like he just may not have the stamina for the position. Taylor's bat definitely plays at the position and he's more than qualified to handle it defensively (bone headed plays here and there aside). It is nice that each of the core 4 are capable of moving around the diamond to make circumstances work.

    Bellinger in CF with 50 bomb potential, love the thought, but also hope he could stay healthy out there @ a demanding position. He's a natural in the OF, so maybe he'd have a chance to settle in. Or perhaps they go to Verdugo in CF and Belli in RF

    After the whole "where is his buy out going?", that was the second thing to cross my mind. There was some moment in my young life that I remember somewhat vividly. I was road tripping out somewhere and it involved a rainy day of driving, listening to Lowry getting knocked around. From the looks of it, it was July 13-15, 2007. We beat up both Cain and then Noah Lowry in a series and I remember thinking, "Fuck yeah, with our young guys working their supposed pitchers of the future, I know we are going to run the show for years." It didn't work out the way I hoped, but remembering that I was in college at the time for that, makes me feel a lot older than I felt this morning.

    BREAKING: Adrian Gonzalez is done for the season after reagravating his back injury. He experienced back tightness and will now be focusing on getting healthy for the 2018 season where he fully intends to play.

    Sounds like his last hurrah. At least he went out with a bang.
