It's a low risk contract, he'll probably play a partial season of winter ball then move on to double A were he gets bored and we never hear from him again. He won't be blocking any real prospects and maybe puts a few more butts in the minor leagues seats.

If he's really that fragile then you're in deep poo poo if you're counting on him for the playoffs

Tom Gorman posted:My grandpa lives in MO and has been a Cardinal fan his whole life. At some point when cassette recorders became a thing he started recording Cardinal games. Tons and tons of broadcasts, putting the radio and cassette recorder next to each other. He's hanging in there and sits on the porch or in his chair listening to fuzzy recordings of Jack Buck. He's not really all with it so I think the outcome of every game is still a surprise. you need to get those digitized

I love the guy's bat but his glove is loving horrible, so I feel like letting him DH a bit for the rest of the year would work out just fine, too. Matt Olson is apparently getting the call when Nashville's playoffs wrap up, which is cool.

Red posted:Sorry for linking to a Jeff Passan article, but: Poque posted:fyi this link has really terrible and loud autoplay content. Summary: Fans complaining about Roberts pulling Hill are dumb because it was done in the interest of keeping Hill healthy and ready to be a #2 starter behind Kershaw for the postseason. And given the incredible amount of pitching talent in the NL postseason contenders, and the incredible amount of slugging talent in the AL postseason contenders, having Hill healthy is crucial to the Dodgers making a real push.

Red posted:Sorry for linking to a Jeff Passan article, but: Eduardo Nunez's 2016 going into the All-Star Break: .321/.347/.489 for a .836 OPS with 12 home runs and 40 RBI's. Brian Dozier since the All-Star Break: .319/.366/.733 for a 1.099 OPS with 17 doubles, 25 home runs, and 50 RBI's in 55 games. This is Brian Dozier in a nutshell. Obviously he's in the best run of form of his entire career, but every year he goes into a prolonged slump where he feels like he has to pull absolutely everything:
Then at some points he figures out that...no...that actually doesn't work and he corrects himself. This year, he worked with Tom Brunansky on tweaking his swing (again) starting right around the time the All-Star rosters were announced, and he heated up very quickly. Twins broadcasts have stated that he did some more tweaking in late July, and he's been absolutely bonkers since then. Crazy Ted fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Sep 12, 2016 |

Nunez was also having a totally outrageous career year. Which I guess is obvious from the stats but it's not like Nunez stole the All-Star spot undeservedly or something.

Also, Yost elected to take Cano as the Mariners' sole all-star giving him two 2nd base-only players and Dustin Pedroia was in the final vote so I think you can defend him not wanting to pick an additional 2nd base-only guy since he could end up with 4 of them.
