June 13, 201511 yr If they all come back, need to make room on the roster for Latos, Cishek, Cosart, Jose, Alvarez and Morris. 6 guys need to go down. Rienzo and Flores already down for Latos and Cishek. That leaves 4. Dietrich (back to 4 position players), Mazzaro are the next two. Then Urena, unfortunately. No room for him on the starting rotation and he can keep getting better in the minors. I think the last one has to be Dyson even though he's better than Morris. But, he still has minor league options left. And that would leave Hand, Koehler and Phelps in the bullpen. Interesting decisions ahead.
June 13, 201511 yr Gotta remember Morse coming back, too, so may have to keep Dietrich up for now. Maybe. Who knows? Cause I don't. Front office has an intense love for Solano, for some reason.
June 13, 201511 yr Wouldnt expect Alvarez back anytime soon. Latos will be given every opportunity to earn that ~$9 million. Hand & Cosart/Koehler will be traded I believe. Still would rather not see Jose pitch this year

Still would rather not see Jose pitch this year But why? If he doesn't pitch this year in the big leagues, that's 23 months off of a Major League roster. He's doing fine in his rehab starts, so why not?
June 13, 201511 yr But why? If he doesn't pitch this year in the big leagues, that's 23 months off of a Major League roster. He's doing fine in his rehab starts, so why not? For sure. Everything you said is correct....but we're not winning anything this year & we all agree it's too soon
June 13, 201511 yr For sure. Everything you said is correct....but we're not winning anything this year & we all agree it's too soon I don't think any of us agree with that, to be honest. I say bring him back latest just after the all-star break, personally. 12-18 months is the usual recovery time, and if he returns at the end of this month or beginning of next month, that'll be just a tick under 14 months. That's not at all too soon.

June 13, 201511 yr Remember 2001? I remember the year existing, yes, but I wasn't yet a baseball fan. That happened in early 2003, when I decided I'd try out for a baseball team and I made it. So, whatever you're referring to, I'm not entirely sure. Either way - if he doesn't suffer a setback, let him pitch. He's going to be on an innings limit, anyways.
June 13, 201511 yr I'm a "fan"....I understand that.....but we're not winning anything this year Would you like for him to only pitch minor league games for the rest of this year or would u rather him throw absolutely nothing until next spring training?
June 13, 201511 yr I doubt they trade Cosart. I so no reason why Fernandez really shouldn't pitch. If anything Alvarez should be the one not pitching.
June 14, 201511 yr I doubt they trade Cosart. I so no reason why Fernandez really shouldn't pitch. If anything Alvarez should be the one not pitching. Agreed. We're somehow amazingly only 6 games out of first (tks shitty muts/nats)....Jose absolutely should pitch if he is ready. But Harvey's troubles might be a glimpse of what we'll get from jose which is the stuff is absolutely there, but the command isn't. It takes time.
June 14, 201511 yr I'm a "fan"....I understand that.....but we're not winning anything this year I don't understand. Because you don't think we are winning anything year, we should shelve arguably the most dominant pitcher in baseball even if he is fully healthy? And I mean, despite a bevy of injuries, we are only six games back in a horrendous division with the All-Star break still a month away. It's silly to throw in the towel this early.
June 14, 201511 yr they're sure as hell not winning the division. 0% chance. if the fish catch the Nationals in the standings any time during the rest of the year I'll donate a cool Jackson to the site. that's right. $20.
June 14, 201511 yr @poptart I'd rather have Reggie.... Or Tito. Jackie, Jermaine, Rebbie, Janet, Randy, Marlon, or that other one

Okay. So we should just shelve Fernandez because a couple of guys on an Internet forum feel like we have no shot of winning. Great way of conducting business. The fact of the matter is that we are within striking distance, and if Jose is healthy, there is absolutely no reason not to bring him back.
