    Witt is better at fielding, throwing, running and staying healthy but I'm not convinced he is better at hitting.
  2. DJL44
    Ronny Henriquez is still young and improving. He might end up working out.
  3. DJL44
    Royce Lewis just hit his 30th home run in his 103rd game played. That's a 47 HR pace in a 162 game season.
  4. DJL44
    Are we just assuming that Paddack is done for the season?
  5. DJL44
    I will point out that $700k is minimum wage in MLB.

    Gladden and Atteberry said to expect him to go on a minor league rehab assignment this week.
  7. DJL44
    Dobnak has all 3 options according to Fangraphs. They need the 40 man spot to bring Topa back.
  8. DJL44
    I would be trying to beat the Cubs. Worry about today's game. Setting the rotation is for the playoffs.
  9. DJL44
    The Twins are hoping someone grabs him when he is passed through waivers.
  10. DJL44
    With his height it is probably 2B or bust for Eeles.
  11. DJL44
    They can send Dobnak down any time they want a different pitcher. Varland on Friday is likely.
  12. DJL44
    His height helps him get on base but probably limits him defensively to LF/2B.
  13. DJL44
    I guarantee they won't see Crochet or Skubal in the playoffs. We should all be thrilled if they have to match up with Chris Sale.
  14. DJL44
    Varland has pitched in 8 games of relief, which is not nearly large enough sample size to draw any conclusions.
  15. DJL44
    All 3 are out of options. Thielbar and Okert are there to matchup with lefthanded batters and they're probably better than Varland at that. They didn't trade for Richards to cut him a week later. I suppose they could option Topa and put Varland in the bullpen.

    Most of what Roger Angell wrote was plagiarized from charred scrolls.

    Farmer is going on a rehab next week according to Atteberry and Gladden.
  18. DJL44
    Is Varland better than Sands?
  19. DJL44
    It's hard to figure out what you have with a young pitcher who is likely to improve further but he didn't give up a lot of HR in the minors (0.7 per 9 innings).
  20. DJL44
    There isn't really a spot for Varland in the bullpen at the moment. Topa is likely to come up at the end of his rehab assignment which will send Dobnak back to AAA. Sands has pitched well enough to keep a spot. Richards is the new guy. They aren't releasing Okert or Thielbar to add Varland. He will have to wait until rosters expand in September.
  21. DJL44
    I keep seeing "regression" used to indicate worse performance. In math the term just means that over a large sample a player's performance will tend to their long-term baseline. Christian Vazquez has "regressed" by hitting with a .910 OPS in July which brings his stats UP to his baseline expectation. If Woods Richardson is a good pitcher, then his statline is right at expectations and regression would just mean continued performance at this level.
  22. DJL44
    Christian Vazquez had an OPS of 910 in July. He's hitting quite well lately.
  23. DJL44
    If his chase rate can get to league average, he'll be fine. I'm fine with some swing and miss in the zone if it comes with huge power when he connects. Only a few players (Vlad Guerrero) can connect for power with pitches outside of the strike zone.
  24. DJL44
    Surprised they weren't able to get an accounting firm to sponsor the banner.
