  1. At least there will be fewer of them? in a bullpen role, Sim will be able to concentrate on fewer pitches and hopefully get a little more juice out of them.
  2. OPS+ is league average, not primary position. If your big side of the platoon 1B is only league average while being shielded from RHP… I feel like the bar needs to be raised. i didn’t expect Clemens to raise that bar, but Zoll needs to aim higher for 1B im a FG guy, wRC+ is almost identical to OPS+. the bar to clear for me is Jake Bauers’ 127 wRC+. He’s ranked 15th of qualified 1B. if I open up the PAs to 110 to bring Clemens into the list, his 109 wRC+ ranks 24 of 39.
  3. Thoroughly depressing Cody. 25% of the season before the first roster move was made on a 13 man hitting staff that has only had 14 players in the season up until today.
  4. That was a great read! Thoroughly enjoyed it. im skeptical, but still furiously knocking on wood that Ober can continue
  5. I think Royce’s comments from the Athletic speak well to his maturity, in understanding that minor leaguers don’t get called up solely because of their performance. The major leaguer they replace has to be struggling too. i don’t think he’s speaking of fans, or management, but of Culpeper who is champing at the bit to take Royce’s spot.
  6. 4 man outfield of Buxton, Martin, Roden, Rodriguez would be very good defensively with a pitching staff that is bottom of the league in ground ball rate and top in fly ball rate. There is no team in the league where good outfield would impact run prevention more (KC is close 2) Wallner demoted, outman DFA, Larnach DH and 5th outfielder, Bell 1b
  7. Rodriguez has a .900 OPS in AAA. There’s absolutely a chance he’s better than Wallner. Even if he’s not, if they don’t change anything on the roster, they won’t get better.
  8. he started it in 2002, not exactly the pinnacle of interest then either. 24 years later maybe some wisdom with age would come then again...
  9. This season and this transaction shows us exactly why relievers are not as fungible as Zoll thought they were...
