He’s already had 660 PAs in AA Texas League. Above average AVG/OBP but lower than average SLG for the league. I don’t know. On the surface a promotion to AAA to directly replace Dingler seems reasonable, but there’s probably some reasonable rationale to it.

For whatever it matters, Toledo just finished up a home stand and travels to Indianapolis for its next series starting Tuesday night. Travel to cover Detroit roster spots vacated via trade shouldn’t be an issue.

This might need to be framed with the context of whatever other Cs get moved.

Ha! I’m listening to a Tiger centric pod (episode dropped Friday) and the main host just said he doesn’t see Kelly going anywhere. Ooooops.

I thought this was a reasonable request. Alas, the awfulence showed up.

Hicks is already 25 years old. Looks like a decent eye based on 143 BB vs 133 SO in MILB? Not much power. Lefty bat. Owens has been a RP in MILB, so probably remains a RP, especially with the Stavenhagen comment above. OK, they got a return for Kelly. Might not seem like much, but he’s just a rental at this point.

Comeback player of the year? Is that an award?

Speaking of the Giants, I see that Matt Chapman’s name is out there, too.

Might as well beat the Twerps.

I hope the ****ty connects are also on the trade market.

Its more than just both of you that know that.

Yeah, yeah, uphill both ways. OK, boomer.

But if moving Keith to 2B was about his arm and a planned return to 3B, then why hasn't Jung been moved off of 3B? I suppose they keep this going if there's some progression, be it small if at all. And maybe there's still some concern that Keith might not be able to move back to 3B.

And while we're parsing statements, Trump's statement about not having or needing another election after this one cannot be highlighted enough between now and when it should be offered up as the first question in the next presidential debate. The debate can be focused on that single question for all that I care. Toss that one to Trump, and let him explain it. Make it absolutely crystal clear that he needs to expound on that particular comment. Because its either with obvious nefarious intent given the backdrop of January 6, or he's the doddering old drunk uncle fool that he quite simply is. And, actuall, probably both is true.

That's a fair point. But I think he's earning more of those situations.

I would contend he may or may not have taken a bullet. That's fair to debate. I would contend he's not doing anything for democracy. He's in this for himself. That's not debatable.

Ha! I think it’s safe to say I had no idea what you were talking about. 😆

I’ve been called all sorts of things that I’m not, so I’m not that worried about it.

It’s not just the chatter about Jung at 3B. It’s the sub .900 fielding percentage, too. Now, we understand fielding percentage isn’t an end all be all by itself. But under .900? That’s awfully eye opening.

Speaking of children, I saw this mid game. Carlos Santana was on deck. He spotted a youngster and went over and gave him knuckles. Same at bat, and there was a foul tip. He motioned for the ball, and passed it on to his newest fan. That’s good stuff there.

I like that Keith is getting his chance vs LHPs. He’s locked in, let’s see what he can do, let him learn lessons now. Unfortunately this probably cuts into Ibanez a bit, but he can face LHPs as the 1Bdude for now.

Maybe doesn’t cut it around here. Full credit only for full predictions.

Can you smell what the Casimir was cooking? Eat it, Twerps.

Name rhymes with Henta Haeda?

I prefer clobbering the snot out of them, but that’s just me.
