Rizzo's slash line this June is .400/.507/.750. Since he moved to the leadoff spot, he is 5-5 with 2 homers and a walk in his first PA of the game, with his most recent leadoff hit being a gently caress your shift bunt single.

Is Tommy John for Torres that big of a deal? He loses a year to develop yeah, but worst case scenerio is what, he has to move to 2nd base?

Phillies question Is there any particular reason they don't call up prospects ever . Is it a legit team building strategy to leave guys in the minors until they are 24-25. Not being snarky just noticing that the dodgers for example do not do this

It's his non-throwing arm, so not even that move to 2B. Mainly it sucks because you lose a year of development and now we're definitely stuck with Headley. EDIT: Also it being announced on the off-day after a nightmare road trip didn't help. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Jun 20, 2017 |

No way man Andujar is gonna hit 1.000 in AAA and then come up and make Judge look like a bust.

The only 2 things the yankees are really in the market for are a 3rd basemen and starting pitching. MAYBE a first basemen if they think Bird is dead.

Aoki is meh defensively, 35, and hitting for career lows across the board. Fisher has already spent a third of the season destroying AAA and has shown success in his first taste of the bigs, he has nothing left to prove and there's no reason to hold him down to keep an aging slap hitter who doesn't draw walks around Is it possible they're super 2ing him? I can't remember the deadline

Aoki remains an Astro what the gently caress e: as you mentioned in another post the only thing I can think of is its service time somehow further e: I went looking for the super 2 cutoff and apparently it varies based on the callup decisions of all MLB teams, but this is the TLDR version from Fangraphs: quote:There’s variation in the cutoff, but you can safely assume it will be between 2.120 and 2.150, meaning that if you keep a player down for about 65 service days in their first year, you will not have to let them pass through arbitration four times. 2.120 means 2 years and 120 days fast cars loose anus fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Jun 20, 2017 |

I posted this a while ago but Scott Rolen maybe had the most boringly great career in baseball history. His only significant achievements are 500 doubles and 8 gold gloves. He is fighting an uphill battle.

I think Rolen would have gone in in another era but there are just too many great players waiting right now (which is a reason the HoF should get rid of its stupid vote limit but good luck with that)

If that spirit exists, he doesn't show it on the Astros. He's easily irritated when he strikes out, he gets pissed off when he fucks up a play and other than that he merely exists. The pregame ceremony after he hit his 2,000th is the only time I've ever seen him emote something other than irritation. There are better lovely Astro players to love.
