If a guy has 6 pitches, they can get away with them being average. He has had success. His stats aren't bad. He is definitely a solid m-d rotation pitcher.

Na + 1 for Bernal and Jab.
But read my last post. I think you should stay put and bring up your talent.

Also not understanding why Yankee hasn't brought up his top 4 pitching prospects. Unless he's still secretly tanking

65 innings and 21 years old right around the time the season starts.

He's ready. I came here to say the same thing. Those guys need to be up in the WBL to progress. Seguin, Gutierrez, Velasquez. Also put Evensson into your rotation. I need ur help to damage Helga so I can slip past them in the night.

Age don't hardly matter bro. Look at my top dog Jaime Robles. He's 21.

Yeah, Guti is definitely ready.
Not only should you bring him up, you should also definitely take that deal from Orlando. It's so hard for a pitcher to go under 80 ERA+ from what I've seen. I have absolute faith Guti will be above it.

I wish you would just read my post.
Yankee's lineup is actually pretty dang good. Inan needs to bat way further down the order though. Probably shouldnt even start. Tsao, Carillo and Haswell is a sick OF. Inan can be the 4th. Aguilar, Aguirre, Bernal is a sick IF. Fuck it, bring up Juarez to play 3B and LAWD. You just need a solid DH. Conner would have been perfect there. For the rotation, bring up Guti, Rauch and Velasquez to ST. At least two of them will be ready. You dont even need to make any moves and you will be the top bottom bitch.

Lips needs more playing time. Like, every day playing time.
True. Him or Haswell should DH. The other in the OF.

Do exactly what Orlando said, or keep Lips at your #4 OF.
Go re-sign Ertegun and stick him at DH, since he's more versatile (and a better bat) than bin Azzam.

Yeah, I would really like that Istanbul squad if he made all those changes Orlando suggested. Buffalo v. Istanbul 2045, make it happen!

I'd take him over bin Azzam, if you're sticking with Azzam at DH, since Ertegun has value as a backup IF if needed. They have similar bats, so the extra defense if needed would be more important to me. But Lips at DH would be a very solid move as well. Lips just needs more play time. If Lips at DH is your biggest hole on the offense, you're in a very good spot.
Follow my lead in this post.
C - Imarika/Vis (trade one of them)
1B - Aguilar
2B - Bernal
3B - Juarez
SS - Aguirre
OF - Tsao
OF - Carillo
OF - Haswell
OF - Lips
(pick an OF to DH)
Call up Guti, Velasquez and Rauch. Figure out your starting 5. Send Jab to the pen.
If Guti pitches below 80 ERA+ and hits Juarez below 80 OPS+ you get the firsts. You cant do weird shit to make them suck though
These are my thoughts at least. Others can chime in.
Or if you want both firsts, send me Bernal and Jab.
Don't listen to Lloyd. Lips or Vis can DH. Or Haswell. Whoever you hate playing defense the most.

I'm trying out multiple guys, Bernal, Aguirre, and Juarez all give me flexibility. If Corrigan or de Blois start hitting I can stick them at 3B for example. Lips will get his reps but at some point I gotta give up on the ratings and accept what kind of player he is, starz be damned. I don't think Ertegun is the answer and I don't know why you guys think he is. He isn't even a great fielder and can only play the corner spots. 85 OPS+ whether at DH or at a shitty 3B defense wise is not valuable for my team. Juarez at 3B and one of my many corner OFs at LF gives me better defense in more ways than one and most likely better offense too. DH will likely be the big hole for years to come because I have no hitters coming up through the system either. May put Vis there and start Imarika there, who knows.

I was just giving him another option, since I know he hates Lips.
Also a rotation of: Duarte, Seguin, Guti, Ragalla, Evensson isn't light's out, but they are a solid group. Throw Rauch and Jab in the pen and you're on your way.
Haswell gon beast. Put him or Vis at DH. Give Lips one last shot in the OF since he is the better defender.
Don't forget Zhong.

I also ran a 2 Catcher system where one starts and the other plays DH, and then work out the rest days via 7-day lineups. It worked out decent for the most part. Only had one issue, where they both sat out a game and Widineev started at Catcher that game (wat?). I chose to abandon it though, since Bly isn't the best Catcher and I had a workable backup sitting in AAA that I could bring up.
Something else to consider.

Ah, totally missed him. Didn't see him on his squad, so I forgot he was on his team.

Man, I would definitely consider running the C/DH system. You'll have to probably be more attentive with 7-day lineups, but Vis at DH and Imarika at C, along with the rest of the lineup. Nasty.
So we are clear, you only get them if those two players perform poorly. Also, no dumb moves. Play your best players. You seemed to agree with me mostly anyway. We can let it ride overnight and make sure no one is opposed.
