And the great thing is if he is already a plus defender, all he has to do is hit a minimal amount to be able to stick around for 10-15 years in MLB.

There was the one time I agreed with Ron. Brrrrr.

Child tax credit payments should be hitting today. Also sounds like people who paid taxes on unemployment insurance from last year are getting random direct deposit refunds.

Joe Columbo still around?

Exactly. Guys with arms get second, third, and fourth chances. We see it all over baseball. They see the arms, and in the case of ReyLo, the previous history, however brief it was. They'll take a chance on that. No he won't be the centerpiece of a major deal, but he could possibly bring an expiring contract type of guy, or be a piece in a larger deal.

Jobu?

You know who else doesn't hit well? Guys on the injured list.

What is their stance on dip?

This whole situation is so disheartening. It nears to get out, get aired, and justice be done.

Seems between the ears.

In fact I went back thru old threads. Kenny was pissed we didn't even get a personal interview with Ohtani. Wonder if he regrets picking LAAAAAA?

That also wouldn't stop them from using him today. They released Adam Eaton the day after hitting him leadoff.

For the record the other plausible scenario is a pitching injury, more probably an injury to a starter.

That's what I am saying. They wouldn't pull him for that until they had to.

Until he is ACTUALLY dfa'd, yes. Then he is in limbo until his status is determined.

To remove him from the 40, he has to go thru waivers

Unless he was waved today, there is no reason to protect him to remove him from the 40.

That's the thing. We are talking about a game on the 19th. He could start today and still be on schedule to come up and spot start.

Or an expiring contract. Someone like Arizona taking a chance on him for Escobar maybe? Or he could be a 2nd or 3rd piece in a bigger deal.

I could see someone wanting to take a chance on fixing him. You can't teach that arm.
