They have much bigger fish to fry, and if a guy who can play average shortstop is who you end up giving 3 at bats a week too, I'm not going to cry about it. Leury should play damn near everyday though.

Leury should be the first man off the bench at just about any position, but I wouldn't hate having goins around if multiple subs are needed on a given day. Yolmer is too expensive for what he gives.

Not really fair to look at raw OPS in this environment. But OPS+ was 2 guys over 100 in 2015 vs 4 guys in 2019. Lineup is worse overall in 19 though.

It is. But I'd prefer he didn't have to hit .325 to have it that high lol

Luis has said it's Robert as in Bob.

2 out of 4 on dumpster dives is a workable rate. Not counting Alonso or Jay.

Hitting well too

Picking up Ivan Nova was a solid move. There. I said it.

Nah it's wrong, but it's most people's first instinct to assume it's not American sounding

Day game after a double header seems dumb

If Anderson is your worst hitter sure. That seems like a tallish ask though.

He wasn’t patient even when he was good. His O-swing is actually 4% lower than his rookie year.

Adam Engel: Superstar

Not that bad

Eloy being slow to regain rhythm is going to be an issue if he doesn’t stop running into shit in the outfield.

That's not necessarily true. Probable? Maybe, but I wouldn't anticipate Kopech not being able keep his fastball within six inches of the top of the zone.

No not everyone is going to be a 2 win player, but you should look to improve on the people that aren’t. Also I don’t think this team can afford to trot out a below average lineup like they did in 05.

Robert isn't going to have to hit behind a pitcher

Cease did pitch over an absolutely terrible jam though

If he were a league average hitter there’d be no need to look for a RF. So yes that would be nice lol

give any team 5 outs and they have a chance

There's also no way in hell they catch the tigers anyway so *shrug*

The value of the Win number is purely descriptive, in an unnecessarily specific way . There's nothing it tells you that something else doesn't communicate more reliably. If anything it makes me wish there was something better to parse out game to game performance.

Of all the people I can't wait to not see again, Castillo is probably top of that list.

No reason not to shoot for it now though.
