Because Mercedes can't catch.

They have a 1B. They have plenty of DHs. Also McCann has sucked this year, and has been out hit by... Zack Collins. For 9.5 million less dollars, or about as much as Lance Lynn is making this year.

That adds up to just short of 30 million a year for one position. That is lunacy.

30 million a year for catchers? And that is a better allocation of resources? God, no.

So you wanted to drop $10 million a year to start McCann 50-60 games a year, on top of the $18 million for Grandal?

Unless you saying that you were benching Grandal?

Eaton can play out there, the problem is that he will probably pull something playing CF. He can handle it out there, but he'll be hurt again in a week.

We are finally seeing what happens when the pitching slumps. The pen has been shaky a lot this year, but the starters are coming back to earth now too. Going to really see what this team is made of in the second half.

Yeah zero chance they put Yermin back there on a regular basis.

You mean Jeremy?

Lamb is already DLd

Mendick pretty much has to stay, otherwise you have no MI depth.

Will be a really interesting roster decision coming up. Goodwin or Sheets out? Maybe a DL trip for Leury?

The Justin Beiber Effect. Popularity doesn't equal quality.

So let's see Andrew Vaughn's list of times he hurt himself playing the OF.

Yet Vaughn is statistically an average defensive LF. Eloy is... let's just say not.

Eloy is exactly this. He is literally putting himself on the injured list on a regular basis because he can't play a defensive position. Jose Abreu plays a very good 1B. And again, Eloy doesn't have a choice. If he gets told to DH, he will DH.

Eloy Jimenez has been an OF for 168 games. In those games he has been so bad at it, that he has injured himself multiple times with his defensive negligence. We are to the point where Eloy doesn't get a choice as his horribleness in the OF is hurting not just him, but his team.

Congrats!
