    That is a choice Baldelli made today. That’s what I’ve got.

    If what we saw this year is the new normal for Buxton, I have no issue giving Bellinger a 6/$120 contract this winter.

    What did you expect? Alex Faedo may be the best 5.80 ERA pitcher in baseball history!
  4. Vanimal46
    If you count his independent league stats Lew Ford has to be an answer.
  5. Vanimal46
    In heaven with Frankie Montas
  6. Vanimal46
    At least you can wake up every day and see Joey Gallo’s face!

    How’s your leg feeling today?
  8. Vanimal46
    @Craig Arkoguessed correctly. Royce Lewis activated. Castro sent to IL to make room.
  9. Vanimal46
    They don’t have a ton of choices. I suppose they could put Castro on the IL for his back issue. All we’re discussing, really, is delaying the inevitable with Gallo. Sept 1 is right around the corner which will add 1 more position roster spot. With a lot of players set to return as well… Gordon, Miranda, Kirilloff, and Buxton could all potentially return and only Miranda has options remaining.
  10. Vanimal46
    We will see who is sent back to St Paul or DFA’d when Lewis is activated. Hopefully Julien or Wallner isn’t sent back just to keep Gallo on roster.
  11. Vanimal46
    With Lewis coming back tomorrow, Polanco/Solano can temporarily play 1B until Kirilloff comes back.
  12. Vanimal46
    For me, the expectations were pretty minimal in March. Hope he bounces back to be on pace for 3-4 WAR and either flip him for prospects at the deadline, or keep him for a playoff run. If he still stunk it up at the plate, $5-6 million is not much to eat to DFA him by August 1st. The reason for my frustration is he is playing too frequently at a replacement level.
  13. Vanimal46
    Agreed. I’ve posted something similar before… Gallo was a 4.7 bWAR / 4.2 fWAR player in 2021. It was a reasonable gamble to assume 2022 was a fluke year and he could bounce back to be a 3-4 WAR player in 2023. After each passing month it has been more and more obvious that 2022 is not a fluke, and he is trending towards being out of baseball. The experiment should have ended months ago. But I don’t blame him specifically. I place the blame more on the FO for not preparing more prospects to play multiple positions. Give me more of the Dodgers’ development philosophy. It’s crazy that there is no one else in the system capable of playing 1B for the Twins.

    Phillies radio crew is ripping Rocco and I can’t blame them.
  15. Vanimal46
    Whelp, Rocco got a little too cute eh?
  16. Vanimal46
    Sigh… Radio crew making it seem like Gray is done for the day.
  17. Vanimal46
    Don’t do it Rocco. Sonny Gray is approaching 80 pitches. Send him out for the 7th.
  18. Vanimal46
    Cleveland cruising to an 8-1 lead in the 5th. Gotta win this one
  19. Vanimal46
    Suarez is well on pace to set his career high in strikeouts today.
  20. Vanimal46
    After that play I am changing my answer to yes. Julien can catch an egg without the egg breaking.
  21. Vanimal46
    Future Gold Glove finalist 1B Christian Vazquez
  22. Vanimal46
    Gorgeous! I’ve been picking anywhere from 4-14 heirlooms, early girl, and Roma tomatoes every day for the last week. I had enough to make 7 mason jars of salsa! Now I’m saving up the romas for tomato sauce.
  23. Vanimal46
    Joey Gallo is closer to never playing in the majors again vs. making $20 million.
  24. Vanimal46
    These are all very fair questions! I’m not here to steer anyone in a certain direction to vote. It could be a hard boiled egg. It could be the big green egg!

    @chpettit19 @USAFChief @tony&rodney Poll added that I could use your input on.
