Baker

Basabe. If he can stay healthy you could see him in Chicago in 2020. Plus defender, pretty good plate discipline.

It’s feasible. The Cubs need to get JH off the books so the they can sign Castellanos and re-up Baez. Schwarber is the sweetener.

Probably been mentioned but what about Hayward and Schwarber for a couple of throw-ins. Taking on a big contract but a gold glove RF might get us a second look from available pitching. Schwarber for DH.

I don’t think you can say Machado had a down year. He had a typical year. His career WRC+ prior to 2019 was 105, counting only the road splits. The hitters haven in Baltimore put him at 130 WRC+ for career home games. That wasn’t going to happen in San Diego.

Ketel Marte is out for the season. Yelich has won the NL batting title at .329.

Paulie scooped those in his sleep.

Let’s play 3.

I believe any games not played this weekend works against the Sox. That would take away the tiebreaker advantage the Sox have against every team. Hope they get all 4 games in.

I’d like a great glove man for right field. Is Sam Fuld still around? Lol

Timmy would have to go roughly 0-12 to drop down to LaMahieu’s .328.

Timmy needs 29 more PA this year to qualify.

LaMahieu 0 for 6 in the first game today. At .323

Andrew recorded a combined babip of .282 this season. That’s quite low. Hard to predict a normalized babip for him, but by comparison José Abreu lifetime babip is .329. Something similar to that would have put Vaughn’s OPS up near .900 this past season.

Giolito’s season is like finding money on the street. About 100 million.

Chris Sale was pronounced done for the season today. That closes the book on his 3 year stint in Boston that the White Sox traded away, with a cumulative fWar of 17.3. Though not terribly valid it will be interesting to see if Moncada and company can surpass that figure. Seems very likely, though The Red Sox won’t complain.
