Buxton should probably be ahead of Baez, but has only played 60 games. Greene is 3rd among AL OF in OPS behind Judge and Buxton. Baez is 5th in OPS (Grishom is 4th). Baez will likely make the game on the bench. His versatility will probably factor into the decision on some other possible bench players. 1 Quote

Utility players, who can play decent defense, are pretty valuable these days. Quote

And Javy the 3rd best? Yeah, I don't think so. It's not a great seasion for AL outfielders. Top 3 outfielders by FanGraphs WAR: Judge 6.0 Buxton 3.1 Greene 2.6 Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 23 Author Posted June 23 So, in the next three games with the Athletics at home, it’s Skubal then Flaherty then TBD. I’m getting gun shy about this “opener“ thing. Quote

I’m getting gun shy about this “opener“ thing. I saw an article this morning where Hinch was quoted as saying he's still using an opener. After Olson gets back, he'll probably just do it for games Sawyer starts. Quote

Top 3 outfielders by FanGraphs WAR: Judge 6.0 Buxton 3.1 Greene 2.6 WAR is a good way to look at the quality of some players. If (when) Greene cuts down in his strikeouts, he could become a superstar. His month of June has been very impressive. Quote

Plus he's 31, which is the leading edge of when the unluckiest genomed hitters start to lose it. He always seemed like a good guy, just wasn't the player it sometimes looked like he might have been.

papalawrence Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Jeimer made some good coin for someone who has year-long slumps Quote
LongLiveMaroth Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Detroit Tigers signed free agent RHP Woo-Suk Go to a minor league contract. Quote
Edman85 Posted June 24 Posted June 24 (edited) Padres paid a posting fee and gave him two years guaranteed last year. Dumped him on the Marlins in the Arraez deal, and the Marlins DFA him shortly after. Owens and Vanasco are out right now. Balazovic hasn't pitched since June 3, so I suspect there is an IL stint that didn't make the transactions logs there. Riley Unroe has pitched a bunch lately. Also, late June is heavy opt out season, so I see why they wanted to add an arm. Edited June 24 by Edman85 1 Quote

Edman85 Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Enns is coming up to start Thursday. He has an opt out on July 1, but has pitched pretty well. Interestingly enough, his contract allows him to declare major league free agency after the year, but the Tigers have a multimillion dollar team option they can pick up. It's clear they thought there was something here. Quote

If the group from WM are going to move up, then some of the group from Erie is going to need to also and Cruz looks like he could take Kreidler's spot and even Anderson could take Ibanez' if they ended up moving him. I don't think they will yet, but other than the playoff series, he's been awful since early August both in Detroit and Toledo. Quote
