No thanks. The sort of crippling contract for an aging slugger that has sunk quite a few clubs' championship window, or hastened it closing. Anybody checked Gallo's stats in NYC since the trade?

fancy new tags you got and avatar.

These guys are all completely fungible. No need for a defensive slap hitting OF with Billy back.

with jose it's talking him into the breaks that is the problem. love that attitude but at a certain point it's harmful to the team.

what happened?

Probably want to get Jose off his feet a bit down the stretch and Vaughn for whatever reason gets rested all the time anyways.

probably was a "do right by the vet" sorta move. small things like that add up to goodwill around the league come FA and such.

So TA can be back the 8th? Not bad, hopefully he can rest up and get right for the playoffs.

Same reason you don't see many of the type of injuries that Robert and Buxton had in the NFL and that is baseball is a stop and go sport with a daily grind whereas in football the muscles are always warm in game and you get 6 days to recover. I didn't play football psst HS but I played like 90% of our snaps and I would say it's a completely different athletic grind than baseball. Similar in difficulty but completely different. One thing I'd say that was similar was that something is almost always bothering you in both sports. In baseball, especially in college when we were playing 40 games in a two months, my hands were always beat up and my arm was almost always sore. In HS football it was usually a mild ankle sprain or similar "get rolled up on" type injury like a knee sprain. Anyways, that's my 2 cents. I think baseball should do more to have guys staying warm between ABs. Maybe more guys will start riding a bike like you see in the NBA. I feel the same way about soccer. I never understood how in soccer a sub can warmup for literally like 3 minutes and then be expected to go balls to the wall for 20 minutes or whatever. That's just not enough time to get loose and get the blood flowing into the muscles and joints.

Steamer projects a 93 wRC+ for him, which isn't bad for a utility IF. K rate is concerning but based on that ISO he posted in AA he laces the ball around the park. Not easy to put up a .234 ISO in Birmingham.

one of the worst nicknames conceivable.

yoan's bat is looking a lot quicker. maybe he's feeling healthy for once.

this pirates team sure has a bunch of yappers for a bottom feeder.

nice play by their 2B.

good lord AV. Be nice if he got hot.

gamel didn't lose that in the lights he just misread it, how would you lose a ball hit that low in the lights?

that was a helluva swing on a good pitch.

lol yaz.

how hungover is Gio?

stock moves the chart, chart doesn't move the stock.

Man I used to play in Chinatown, nothing like getting on that crowded ass D train from Brooklyn and then back. Same field Manny Ramirez is said to have hit one onto the Manhattan Bridge. Miss those days a bit now thinking about it. NYC has such great energy. Don't really get that feeling here.

lol, see, there you go again!

no offense but I feel rec league soccer players never shut up about it. Like I never hear beer league softball players going on and on online about their shit.

Man just IL TA if he's going to be sitting 2 out of every three days.

Just get him some PRT and a twelve pack and he'll be as good as new in a couple weeks.
