    I think he even has one minor league option remaining* after this year, and that's part of his value - his stashability at AAA for this season and next. That would be of value to another team too, so maybe his trade value is a little higher still, because of this, than for a typical 4th outfielder like Robbie Grossman who is out of options. He won't bring back a difference-maker by himself, but should be more than a throw-in, for the right team. He's valuable, so to answer your question, I'm not in a hurry to dispose of him. But I'd make him super-available, if that makes sense. * Cave seemed to be injured soon after signing, and missed a couple of years before playing minor league ball in earnest, and I don't know the rostering rules well enough to know for sure that this is the reason he apparently didn't have to be added to the Yankees' 40-man roster sooner than they wanted.

    Except this one from me.

    We appear to have moved forward from the unwritten rules, to the untweeted rules. Rising fastballs thrown behind the batter, and takeout slides with spikes high, were so passe anyway. Now it's some rando with a keyboard.

    FWIW, this sounds an awful lot like the rationalizations I've heard single-issue Republicans use to justify supporting Trump through thick and thin.

    Have the questions about Hamilton sticking behind the plate subsided? I see he still logs significant innings at third base, where his bat looks less legit.

    Baseball is a business unlike most other businesses. It's marketed as a sport. The sporting motive is sometimes at odds with the profit motive. General Motors doesn't even begin to pretend that Chevrolet is competing with Buick competing with Cadillac competing with GMC. Deciding to shut down Saturn and Pontiac and Oldsmobile a few years ago wasn't in the same vein as the proposal to shut down the Twins. If you are going to market as a sporting team, at some point you have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.

    Don't give up, son.

    It's often called "parenthood."

    Moderator's note: Do not talk down to one another.

    Any mashup involving what sounds like a walk on the wild side is very apropos for Trevor May.

    No treadmill? What do you hang drying laundry on?

    How do you hold a curveball in your hand? Please, somebody tell him, because too often the ball goes nowhere near the catcher's mitt.

    I don't even know what the current rules are, concerning rain-shortened games, except that MLB hates them to pieces and will do anything to avoid them.

    Only 3 more innings of our bullpen's stylings to go!

    Wonder what Lindor was looking for on 2-1. Because it apparently wasn't heat down the middle.
  16. ashbury
    Maybe don't shift against a guy batting barely .200.

    Not the solution I was looking for, but I guess you get credit for creativity.

    You miss a little, you miss a lot.

    I wish someone could solve the puzzle and get the performance out of Trevor May. So many of his pitches are of the no-hope variety.

    And now a stick-it-to-you call to the next batter. The umpire's taking over this game at the moment in the way that gives umpires a bad name. / edit - and I give Marwin a ton of credit for understanding what was happening and keeping his cool on the first pitch.

    Rosario does a nice job tracking fly balls. That one to end the fifth was no piece of cake.

    Perhaps our vaunted Pitcher Whisperer can raise his voice a little.

    This just in: Jorge Polanco is a baseball player.

    I jinxed Sano with my earlier praise. Should know better.

    POLANCO !!!!
