thought this was amusing. Not that's going to be closing.

Yeah he's one of the worst 3rd basemen in DRS . All time bad.

Apparently yes.

On 670 they are talking about the manager. That's one of the bigger question marks now. Rick and his horrible lineups.

With Moncada MLB adding a franchise tag would be nice.

Just reading the Twins forums for a bit I think the Twins Subreddit is actually a little more rational.

Good thread! The best 2019 thread was certainly the Manny one. Christ going through that was a rollercoaster. I was so mad I had to walk outside at work and get some fresh air to calm down. Especially after Rick's and Kenny's comments.

As long as Josh Donaldson doesn't sign there we're good.

They won't be committed to him come the trade deadline.

Bruce dumped the cold water on the Puig rumors.

You can use the quote button. You said he played a decent RF for the Cubs. What year and in what dimension was that?

Ah so the last reason you were just throwing out some BS. Could have just went with that.

Huh?

The problem is he went from Matt Kemp level to ok he's just really bad. Mazara right now is much better than him. I'd rather not have a black hole out there when we have Eloy in the same outfield. I dont see him making a huge jump to Yasiel Puig status in DRS. That factors in range too.

1171 innings in RF last year. How many more does he need?

Yes. DRS he was -9 last year and -19 in 2018. URZ he's -4.9 and -12.3 in 2018. He's -12.6 in defensive WAR. He's a butcher.

I like defense. That's my reason.

I'd rather have Mazara in RF everyday than sharing with Castellanos

Yeah that's what I got out of it

Oh that's what I thought you were looking at. I don't know how they calculate it. Just defensively to break down URZ or DRS Puig is superior. But yeah he could explode. I think it's an interesting opportunity to improve though if the White Sox already went through the motions on controlling him.

Ultimately Mazara shouldn't be the starting RFer opening day with any club. He has to earn his way back into the fold. Puig is a superior player. I'm assuming that the White Sox internally already went through the motions about dealing with his attitude.

Unless I'm missing something. Fangraphs had him at 0 DRS last year between 2 teams. then +6 in 2018 and +18 in 2017 in RF. His DRS stats in CF are pretty good too.

Where are you seeing that? In DRS he's at 0 which is perfectly fine.

Being against change is one thing. Running around on the baseball field doing the same old shit and plugging your ears is another. None of that's good.
