He needs the OBP. 30 hrs would be nice, but a first baseman with a .330 OBP and below average defense isn't enough. It would be below average (unless we are talking 40+ homers)

Julio Rodriguez last four games: 4 for 6 5 for 5 4 for 5 4 for 5 Most hits in four games in modern baseball history.

That sounds right to me. middling=moderate or average in size, amount, or rank.

No, His defense is still good at a premium position. There are far worse regulars than Baez. Jurickson Profar is one example.

He'd probably be worth that if he got back to his '19 and '21 performance, but there probably isn't enough time left this season to find out.

yeah, the injuries explain his poor numbers the last couple of seasons. So, there is some hope for him.

We were wondering which catcher the Tigers were going to get in the off-season. They got him already! I was thinking the other day that the Tigers might get him when Arizone DFA him, but I lost interest when I saw his recent numbers. Kelly was good in '19 and '21, but has not done anything since then. He is younger that Haase and probably has a better chance of lucking into a decent offensive season next year.

I was late to comment!

Roster crunches are not something I ever worry about. They usually work themselves out through failures amd injuries. If not, then you've got a good situation.

Movies too.

It would be nice if held it through the end of the season.

He doesn't have a closer's mentality. 🙃

I read that one of the reasons they might not make the change to robot umps is that people in the game want to keep framing part of the game. The human element!

Rick James "17"

Those are my two favorites as well.

There are thousands of older men married to underaged girls which is disturbing, but legal. It's legal in 41 states.

The case I remember the most was Luis Polonia in 1989. He had sex with a 15 year old girl. It turned out that the girl's mother had her made up to like an older women so that she could trap professional players. He was able to continue with his career. That kind of behavior was not quite as taboo in the 1970s or even 80s as it is today. It was always wrong and generally frowned upon, but you can see movie references of men with underaged girls which was supposed to be funny back then, but is unacceptable today.

Is he going to wear his ostrich socks?

He don't need no rest. He's 18 years old.

This story seems suspicious to me. I hope it's untrue. We'll see.

It could be another Luis Polonia situation.

Did you tell them that the constitution specifically says that arms are to be well regulated?

Lower is probably better. It means most people didn't think of the same players you selected. It also means that you're old.
