To be fair.... that's probably led to a reduction of about 2 runs. Let's be honest - a majority of those 13 would have been stranded at 3rd anyways.

...or is actually benched.

Adam Cimber is on my fantasy team. You're welcome.

I would say his defense.... but he also just took out our best defensive infielder.

That's the outfielder's ball. Haseley needed to call off Mendick.

The ironic thing is that Haseley might be the best defensive LFer we've fielded this year. I blame a complete and utter lack of communication on balls hit in the air. I would be willing to bet that we lead the league in outfield collisions.

In this statcast era, do they keep track of fielder collisions?

His numbers / peripherals remind me of Chris Young (OF), but as a 2Bman.

To be fair, he would probably only have played about 45 games on the Sox.

Related to that.... I think VV is one of the biggest "glue" guys on the staff. With how fickle the health of the staff seems to be, having a relief valve for Kopech (not to mention the other starters that may need rest as the season goes on) will be huge.

I wonder if this had anything to do with Lorenzen's gripes and the Justin Upton HBP.... https://sports.yahoo.com/angels-pitcher-michael-lorenzen-rips-mlb-balls-after-hitting-justin-upton-in-head-with-pitch-150837089.html

He’s been pretty productive in June.

My army or relievers makes up for the WHIP / ERA deficiencies.

I started Berrios in my fantasy team today. You're welcome.

You have to admit that Joyce's nickname is badass ("Volunteer Fireman")
