August 28, 20205 yr Dyson seems to be one of those KW guys. Why not? We have some slow guys who might be on base paths late in game.

That's good then, I guess. Dyson is an elite defender and speedster, so I guess he's not terrible to have around to replace Eloy in LF in 9th innings if Engel is playing RF. Also as a pinch runner in extras.

August 28, 20205 yr His SB career numbers are very impressive. 85% career success rate. Stole 30 out of 34 attempts last year. Is 4 for 4 this season.

Is the extra inning rule of a man on 2nd to start the inning effective in the playoffs as well this year?
August 28, 20205 yr Having Engel and Dyson as the back ups in the OF gives us a lot of different opportunities late in games to pinch run/replace Eloy and Nomar in the OF. Nothing wrong with it

August 28, 20205 yr He seems to be a luxury on a roster with Engel already here and a smaller playoff roster. Edited August 28, 20205 yr by TheTruth05
August 28, 20205 yr I actually like this move. It gives us a pinch runner with speed and a defensive replacement off the bench. Also he has World Series experience which is a plus. Edited August 28, 20205 yr by maloney.adam

One of the best base runners in mlb history. Thats not an exaggeration. Hes a guy that goes and gets you a run late in a playoff game.

August 28, 20205 yr Give up nothing - as this doesn't affect Cespedes or Colas - to acquire Engel Lite, which is good because our LF is Eloy and our RF is Mazara. I'm cool with it.

August 28, 20205 yr 24 minutes ago, Tony said: So the big question is.... Why? Serves the role of speedy bench piece in playoffs I guess.
August 28, 20205 yr Just now, WHarris1 said: Dyson-Robert-Engel late inning OF D, and a PR threat off the bench. Why not? Exactly. Can’t have Eloy in LF in key late inning defensive situations. Plus as others have said, he’s a weapon on 2B in extra innings.
August 28, 20205 yr 30 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: why, I dont know. They need a cleanup hitter? ?
