I think it's time to address the roster. Starting with Weeks, what value does he add. He can only play, and I use that term loosely as his D is beyond bad, second base. We have Bianchi who can play all over and Reynolds who can play the corners. It appears keeping him on the roster is purely a financial choice at this point.. I was okay with it to start as I didn't have high expectations, things have changed, time to swollow the pill and move on.
That roster spot could be used in two ways. One, carry another bullpen arm or carry another OF'r. This leads to Wang. Again, I understand keeping him as expectations were low, but now its hard to keep a project on the 25 when you are a legitimate contender. To do it, we need to sacrafice depth somewhere and its looking like bullpen isn't the ideal spot to skimp. If there is an OF'r out there or in the farm worth a squat, I would bite the bullet and give him back to the Pirates. Gindle or a FA, I know its not Herrera.
So I would drop Weeks, bring up another arm and keep an eye out for a 5th OF'r.. I don't think this will be the last time Braun misses games and we could use some help. Wang has some value as at least he can be used to eat innings in garbage time.
