I just read that the last ice finally melted off Superior on the 15th. The lakes are very cold. One of the latest melt outs in recorded white man history. At least it will be nice for some cool breezes on the beaches this summer around Chicagoland.
Yolmer and Leury are actually 2 WAR players. Yolmer might actually be a 3-4 WAR player. That is absolutely amazing. Probably the most encouraging thing on the big league club this season. Just sign Yolmer now IMO. He's proven he's a solid starting 3B. Offer him a 5 year extension with some club options at the end TA style.
Now he's at 96, FFS, come out with a game plan and trust your stuff. Worry about making it out of the 5th IN THE 5TH.
Cause now you might not make it out of the 1st. Granted the defense isn't fucking helping.
To me, in RF, it was always much easier to make a play on a ball slicing towards the line, especially when you've only really got 5 ft of foul ground. Come on.
That seems the best bet. Otherwise they could move Dee to 2B and try out Gamel or Haniger in CF but that seems pretty extreme. That would also force Cruz onto the field some nights.
Sucks for the Mariners they were finally generating some real excitement here, and now this. Difference between Cano and Gordo the rest of the way is probably about 3 wins. That's three wins they couldn't afford to give up.
According to Servais he's going to get the majority of starts at 2B. Cano is now out for at least 80 games so he'll have plenty of opportunity. He was 0-4 last night. Stop me if you've heard that before. This is probably it for him as a MLB player. If he can't at least hit something like 250/300/350 they will probably just DFA him when Robinson is back. They might DFA him before that if someone better comes around. Now that he's on the 25 and 40 man the pressure is on. Paychecks are much better though.
