    Clemens, Lee, Gray, Outman, Kreidler. They have five utility players on the roster.

    80 is as far below average as 120 is above average. Caratini is a catcher, those guys are typically below average. If Outman is a below average defender then I have no idea why he is on the team. His role is defensive replacement and pinch runner.

    Every team has players who are below average hitters.

    8th in MLB in runs per game and 2nd to the Yankees in the American League.

    Maybe, just maybe, it is a lot easier to hit in AAA than in the major leagues. Arcia is likely to give the Twins below average performance at the plate and in the field. I thought this article was going to be about Bowman when I read the headline. Bowman has a 1.69 ERA in a hitters league with good strikeout and walk numbers.

    People still like Star Wars

    If it had been reviewed it would have been upheld. Royce blocked the base with his foot before he had the ball. That’s obstruction. What happens after doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter if he tags the runner out before he makes contact with his foot. The obstruction already happened.

    “Until the umpires conspired and sent the runner home on an obstruction call, believing that Lewis had blocked the bag with his foot in an unfair manner” Fairness doesn’t enter into obstruction and neither does intent. If you block the base without the ball, you are obstructing. What I don’t like about the rule is awarding an extra base. I think the runner should be safe at the base they were attempting, not given an additional base

    There are veterans with opt outs in other organizations we are more likely to see than the guys on this list.

    How about a first baseman?
  11. DJL44
    They don't if they call up Rodriguez and Roden to play outfield. There would be no need for a defensive replacement.

    It’s disappointing. One reason the forums like this started was the local coverage in subscription media was so bad.

    The next pitcher the Rays decide to cut might be Griffin Jax….
  14. DJL44
    Can we get Tampa to give up on some more pitchers?
  15. DJL44
    He teed off on a terrible Las Vegas pitching staff. Let’s see how he does against some other teams.
  16. DJL44
    I think he’s a utility player on a good roster. He switch hits so he can fill in anywhere. I think 3B is his best position. Throws are easier at 3B than at SS.
  17. DJL44
    It’s worse than that. They have convinced themselves that straddling the fence is a genius developmental strategy and they’re going to be trend setters.
  18. DJL44
    Also, Buxton on pace for 52 HR
  19. DJL44
    Great game. 25% of the season complete with a 68-win pace.
  20. DJL44
    They seem to think this every 4 day piggyback role is a great idea but it sure hasn’t shown any results.
  21. DJL44
    I have heard rumors about putting the first part of the game on over the air TV but the ending on the streaming service. Pay if you want to see how it ends.
  22. DJL44
    I want Outman gone and I think it is stupid to dedicate a roster spot to someone you don’t want to play.
  23. DJL44
    The Cubs could use Joe Ryan. They have had several starting pitchers injured. Rojas, Wiggins, Alcantara, Ramirez and Long are all interesting prospects. He could move before the deadline. The rest will wait until July. Jeffers will get dealt to a contender. He’s a huge upgrade on anyone’s 2nd catcher. Sell Larnach while he has value. His arbitration cost will go up next season. Sell Ober for the same reason. Josh Bell might not be tradeable. He’s an expensive DH for his production. Rogers, Topa and Banda are unlikely to return anything of value.
  24. DJL44
    If you have a pitcher who can consistently give you 3 scoreless innings, make them a starter.
  25. DJL44
    Santana is what they spent the savings on. If they had kept Polanco they would have received a bad season from an expensive player. I don’t think they had any other teams besides the Mariners bidding for Polanco’s services. I think you are overestimating the value of the “asset”. Old second basemen are not hard to find. The Twins win the trade if they sell Polanco for $1. If that’s the “worst trade in franchise history” they’re the most blessed team in trades in the history of MLB.
