Heads22

To follow up, my Tim decision is purely predicted on whatever you think he is in the clubhouse (which we truly don't know). If he's a problem, he's gone. If you honestly think he's a net 0 to a net positive you bring him back as there's no real reason to think we compete next year. You're not blocking Colson yet. He's still one of the more popular players we have. And there's some reason to think his year was injury fueled. Bad year + bad team = whatever. Bad year + good team = we are good in spite of him. Good year + bad team = move him. Good year + good team = well that'd be neat.

I'll be shocked if one of Merrifield or Frazier aren't on the team next year. TBH, the Anderson decision will signal so much about what's going to happen. I actually think in a vacuum you bring back Tim because the price isn't outrageous in comparison to what you'll spend for terrible options at the position, but it isn't a vacuum.

Literally the only issue I have with letting TA move on is whatever idea we have to replace him

Just a heads up for something I discovered a few weeks ago - I use the Libby app to check out ebooks through my local library, and surprised to see that they offer Baseball America as part of the magazines you can electronically check out. Thought it might be worth letting some of our minor league followers know that if they have a library card, it might be worth checking the Libby app to see if you have free access to BA.

The Big 12 starting next year is going to be a random event generator

Benetti doing Iowa-Iowa State

Before that HR, Sosa was hitting .250 with a .750 OPS over 11 games since his call up

Kinda neat seeing a guy from the minors come up and hit dongs with steady playing time.

Vaughn looks ready to murder himself after that

If Benintendi wants to homer every few games now, I'd also accept that.

I really only care about watching the bottom three in the lineup

not on a cursory glance of his wikipedia page, which is all the more research we can trust the organization to do anyways

Also, there's no way Grifol is actually safe. A new GM will be able to hire his own guy unless its someone like Getz.

This organization only has a chance if they hire someone who realizes it's 2023 and not 2006.

Leave Sosa on the roster the rest of the year and see if he can keep warming up

Even though he's not very good at baseball, at least Gavin is likable

Hey! Competent LF play!

does lane ramsey weigh 140 lbs

man, if you need ground balls then we are your team

the brewers should feel bad about themselves

lmao
