    Control artist at 98 in the 5th. That's different. TD would never want that. He's not a centerfielder, he's a guy playing centerfield. A centerfielder makes a play in that inning.

    No worries, we got you.

    Umm, wut? Throw in Julien and you have a deal. No? OK, I guess we will do it. Pleasure. Please, please do call again.

    I would certainly agree that he gets some benefit of doubt the figure things out but he's past the point of figuring it out in the bigs. Sitting for 8 days and then stinking again doesn't help the roster, the rest of the guys are really stretched. He needs an IL stint and a rehab, at a minimum. Something is hurting. Or, take two weeks off and quit. Father time is undefeated.

    He only hits touchdowns.

    I'm starting to have a feeling it's going to be an interesting week on the ol transaction tracker.

    Sorry, tough roster fit, not lineup. Luis Arraez could be comfortably written into any lineup in the game. Once. After a few weeks, the fits get harder. Your DH can be whoever you want. Many teams choose not to have a true DH only bat because of the flexibility of a precious roster spot, especially now that they are choosing the extra pitcher most of the time. If Arraez is truly a bat only player (and at least two teams think he is) then he has to be compared to the JD Martinez, Jim Thome, Nelson Cruz type players. Bat only players. As a bat only player, most teams composite DH of rotating outfielders and resting stars is going to outperform Arraez over the course of a season. Measure it however you like. One at bat? Luis Arraez is right up there in good choices but a tier below a Nelly Cruz, who also takes a very high level at bat but can do massive damage additionally. Considering Arraez runs about as well as retired Nelly Cruz, you might need a runner on your roster too.

    Ahh ha! The Cris Carter syndrome, all he does is hit touchdowns.
  9. Jocko87
    Yup, you have to be sure.
  10. Jocko87
    What do I do with my hands?

    Once Siri was in a position to get it with momentum they should have waved it off. Siri has a cannon compared to Palacios.
  12. Jocko87
    Yup, standard Manfred man inning, although a little ugly.
  13. Jocko87
    I'ma go out on a limb and say you're probably right.
  14. Jocko87
    Same question.
  15. Jocko87
    48.5% lol

    Who's making an argument for giving up in a close game?
  17. Jocko87
    How?
  18. Jocko87
    Who was going to hit? Does Theilbar swing lefty? Running a bit short on LHH right now and an injury to Kepler doesn't help.
  19. Jocko87
    Ah yes, the dreaded 18 hour funk. Before scoring 2 yesterday they had over a week with 6 or more.
  20. Jocko87
    The problem is that when you compare him to DH only players, he falls short. Yes, his bat plays there but the Schwarbers, Stantons, and JD Martinez types also have the clutch hit tool with the ability to end a game at any time. A more age appropriate comp might be Yordan Alvarez. Again, different league and class of hitter. He's a tough fit.
  21. Jocko87
    Pretty good day without his best stuff.
  22. Jocko87
    Relax. If pitchers were throwing at his ACL we would see angry Rocco. Maybe even a Wallner/Sabato callup.
  23. Jocko87
    His ACL?
  24. Jocko87
    As expected.
