    You might be right about September. But another possibility once Joey Ortiz gets healthy is DFAing Vinny Capra. He’d likely clear waivers and be back on the Sounds roster. I know it works make the 40-man a little light on infielders, but that imbalance might be worth it to get a chance at seeing if Hicklen right-hand power bat could translate to the bigs.

    Okay, maybe not a popular take, but I’d happily swap Hicklen in for Frelick. Sal’s sample size is small, but so is his bat. Perkins and Monasterio (I realize some shuffling would be required with Mona) would also be bats I’d like to see us try to upgrade by giving Hicklen a shot.

    Ya, I’ll concede it’s not an easy move to make, but we need a right handed power bat that can hit for a decent average. I’d almost be willing to give him Frelick or Mitchell’s spot on a short term trail, like if we face a couple southpaws in a row. For me it’s less about how deserving Hicklen is or how much I like him and more about what he could bring to the roster especially given our struggles against lefties.. I was just reading the article suggesting his being called up. I thought i was reading it wrong or it was a misprint, because it’s unusual to see that righty on lefty. That muddies the waters a bit. Hopefully not a show stopper though, because I’d LOVE to see Brewer as a Brewer! And regardless of splits, his OPS is undeniable.

    Why not add Brewer Hicklen and his .964 OPS to the 40-man?? A right-handed power bat could help balance our left-handed heavy outfield, and help with the ongoing struggle against left handed pitching. Seems like a no-brainier. What gives??

    Why has Brewer Hicklen been out of the lineup in Nashville the last few games? Also, why don’t the Brewers add him to the 40-man roster and give him a shot. His right-handed power could be helpful.

    I say unleash the young guys and see what happens.

    Ya, i don't see Pratt signing, but you never know, right? Maybe just trying to save money to use elsewhere by drafting a guy who won’t sign? Or is that a bad strategy? Seems like it happens, tho.

    I m doubling up on the third basemen, especially if one ends up at first base.
