I sure hope the Sox sign another starter and let Lopez compete for the #5 spot.

Don‘t look now but Collins has a higher OPS than Matt Skole even with a BA below his weight. #stud

The Twins blasting music through the PA system after every pitch is so annoying

With the 26 man rosters next year I think he is a lock to be on the team next year. As a defensive replacement and a pinch runner he has some value. He is a poor man’s Jake Marisnick.

If Adam Engel is able to hit at a .700ish OPS level like he is since his recall, he is a pretty decent 4th OF.

Even though the publicly available metrics praise Grandal‘s defense, the Dodgers internal evaluation system thought he was awful FWIW.

Castellanos came up as a 3B, I am pretty sure he would be a decent 1B.

Astros have been involved in some ridiculous games this year

Bummer is like a prime Zach Britton, trading him only makes sense if you get a Chapman like haul.

Hopefully Bummer is alright, but that is a ball he should have been able to field

That was probably the ugliest swing I have seen this year.

Still need a hit for Tim.

Yep, same with Castellanos. people saying he’s out our price range due to his play with the Cubs are just severely overestimating his market.

I don’t recall ever seeing this, in fact I can only remember one instance when a runner got hit by a batted ball and that was that game in Toronto three or four years ago.

But the batter gets a hit when the ball hits a runner in fair territory right?

I thought it was an automatic base hit, but apparently not.

They always had one of the best farm systems that produced great talents from Pedroia to Betts. Their farm right now is in shambles and their big money acquisitions don’t look so great. Pointing that out doesn’t take away from their success. ?‍♂️

I refuse to believe that Ryan McBroom is a real person.

The Red Sox would have been in payroll hell back then if the Dodgers didn‘t bail them out by taking Crawford, Beckett and A-Gon off their hands. I don‘t think front offices nowadays are stupid enough to bail them out again. They will have to rebuild after next year.

No what killed the Tigers was completely neglecting their farm system and handing out ludicrous contracts to Cabrera, Zimmermann and Upton. By the time Illitch died and Verlander was traded they were already terrible and were going to be terrible for a looooong time.

Even with 5 more #1 picks the Tigers outlook isn‘t great, their major league roster and upper minors are just ugly.

Mendick doesn’t have the range or the arm to be an everyday SS, but he is a fundamentally sound defender that makes the plays he is supposed to make.

Covey is one of these guys where I just don’t understand why he isn’t better. Good velo, good movement on his fastball and he still gets shelled every single time.
