After years of witnessing horrid defense, wanting Burger to start at third over Yoán because of his bat makes my head hurt. Anything Jake would provide on offense would be entirely negated by his inability to play a moderately passable third base. For reference, Burger played 326 innings at third last year, which was roughly 38% of the number of innings Moncada covered (859.2). Burger in that time frame was a -5 DRS, -7 OAA, and -2.4 DRP (Moncada had a 2 DRS, 4 OAA, and a 8.3 DRP). If you couldn't tell, Jake's numbers are quite abysmal at the hot corner. Hell, Jake has even played more first than third in spring games. With that being said, Moncada HAS to improve his offense from last year (which I believe it will improve). Nobody will disagree or argue with that statement. But at this moment in time, this whole premise of benching or moving Yoán off third for Jake is wild stuff.

That team defense coming off the bench would make a t-ball team blush.

Hendriks said he thought he could be back in May, Lance scoffed at that in the podcast interview and threw June out there. We know Liam is super competitive, but i think it would still make sense to place him on the 60.

We're changing the ball once again, this time it'll be a bean bag except for Yankee games.

I had to read this a few times to make sure it wasn't the Not Bob account.

It showed up for me on the main page of the app, just had to scroll over a couple times on the Live & Upcoming Sports thing at the top.

They're a top 5 system right now, if not higher, so that checks out.

I don't often go on Tuesday but would be more inclined to do so with this. About time they did this. Tuesday vs the Cubs is exempt from this BTW.

Outside of nearly tripping on his own feet on his first attempt (still made the out) I think it went alright for the first time ever playing the position.

I'm intrigued

That's fair, I'd like to think that he wouldn't be long for Birmingham.

I was also a bit surprised, but maybe they're just building the chemistry between the future double play combo.
