Sideline Report for Dean Baseball today...

@CaniacBombs He's broken out some OUTSTANDING calls the last few years, Ceddanne's walk off vs TB stands out as his best for me

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@DanBFox1287 Feels like the only spots they can get an upgrade would be second base or DH. I'll take a consistent force at DH to pair with Contreras and the outfielders at the top of the lineup, even something like Gleyber Torres at second. Just depends on what happens health wise.....

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@raenjoyer19 god i hope he can come back with something left in the tank, turn him into an elite reliever for all I care

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@ChrisCotillo Gasper cause you need Mona with Marcelo out for SS

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@WadexFlash Jaime and Herro will be missed. Jaime was a pretty consistent bright spot since his debut, and Tyler will forever be remembered for his work in the bubble.

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@tylermilliken_ Just means he'll be the victim for Romy getting activated...

@redsoxpayroll wild

@j_bear504 @_SamMcGonigle miguel amaya cycle incoming

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@PKSparkxx Talonflame coming after Game 1 felt like a throw, but Arsal had full command both games and it was stamped by that Solar Beam play on T-Tar

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@tylermilliken_ i'd say the same with Gasper catching one of the veterans, not just Tolle or Early

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@njdurand15 @BallParkBuzz I think Arias' success is why Marcelo could go in the expendable tier, idk if Arias projects to be SS long-term but I've got confidence Marcelo can. Between this year and '27, I think they need to give him a fair shot at SS and playing most days until he shows he's not worth it

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@njdurand15 @BallParkBuzz Yep, could even throw Marcelo in there too.

@robtlnolan0189 @jaketodonnell For a team struggling for offense and has 4/5 startable outfielders, I'd say I guy averaging 32 homers and a OPS close to .900 the last two years is worth Ceddanne and more 😂

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@robtlnolan0189 @jaketodonnell I think 99% of baseball fans would take Marte, even with how they've started this year 😂

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@BostonStrong_34 east is dead probably but 1st/2nd wild card feels not insane

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@treshcans @jaketodonnell Which I 100% agree with, Ketel was the only realistic guy in hindsight (aside from Contreras) I can think of that they could've used Harrison for

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@DanBFox1287 I can live with him being in high leverage every once in a while, I doubt they'll have many times where 2 of Slaten/Whit/Chappy are down. I just hope they are staggered a bit more if given the opportunity going forward

[Ben Pope @bope016]

@BOSSportsGordo I probably expected Moran to be as good as Weissert, and vice versa, but this was kinda the expectation if not close to it. Elite backend trio and solid enough supporting cast
