  1. They’re orange. That’s just weird lighting.
  2. Your worst hitter is in the spot in the lineup where your best hitter should be is the biggest problem. But the guys in the lineup are much more important than batting order, so big deal.
  3. Alvarez was out more than twice as long yet somehow has more plate appearances.
  4. I didn’t read it that way at all.
  5. How could he have possibly been more careful than he was in those quotes?
  6. Obviously. The justification for it is though. That’s the point. He doesn’t want to play him for who know why and then makes up his reasons on the fly. It’s why he’s all over the place in that article-there are no valid reasons. It’s unjustifiable.
  7. It’s an imaginary issue. It’s just an excuse for whatever his real reason is for not playing him. If it weren’t the extra 4 lbs, he’d make up something else to try to justify it.

  9. This is not the great argument you think it is-it actually just demonstrates how he’s been misused. He was on the IL for 3 weeks compared to 7 weeks for Alvarez. Even with the all-star break and a day off thrown in here and there, he should have about 100 more plate appearances than him, not 20+ fewer like he does now.
  10. Nah not when he’ll be 32 on the first year of the new contract.
  11. They’re not trading a top 5 CF with 3 more years of team control.
  12. I don’t believe he’s actually the one choosing Dubon.
  13. Agreed on the look, but they’ve been wearing those current uniforms for much longer than a decade-it’s closing in on 30 years now (since 1996). We’re getting old.
  14. Rolen *should* be in if you compare his numbers to other 3B. He’s a top 10 all-time player at the position.
  15. I don’t know that thats an “unenviable position” but exactly. Sure, you’d rather not have to do it. But it’s worked out well in the past.
  16. Like clockwork
  17. Not until after Copernicus was dead.
  18. He's the 3rd best hitter who plays CF, anyway.
  19. I looked it up-19/32 HRs in 2016 came while playing catcher, so that would actually make him the leader.
  20. And Chirinos was only 1 behind them (with more than Maldonado).
  21. One is expendable. Both aren't. Especially if you want to limit Alvarez's time in the field.
  22. I would not move him, personally. I think he profiles as an excellent 4th OF who sill still get a ton of playing time between Alvarez DHing and giving other guys a day off. I expect Meyers would be more likely to be traded, cashing in on his hot month and hoping that some other orgs are as high on him as Click was. He'd likely get a higher return in that scenario, and McCormick has already demonstrated he has a higher floor - it's probably the best for all parties.
  23. I expect Brown to be aggressive in promoting him based on the Braves model. If he continues to crush, I wouldn't be surprised for him to be up this summer and to move one of McCormick/Meyers for prospects or a rental SP.
  24. There's a pretty big difference between Bagwell acting as an extra hitting coach and serving as the de facto GM.
  25. I get everyone has PTSD from the start of the 2010 game, but I think that’s the only time he began with a bubble. (In fact, we didn’t even run that play at all for like the previous decade, cliche notwithstanding-we ran other WR screens, though, obviously.)
