    I think Yordan is too stiff to play first.  He doesn't have the quick twitch it requires.  He must have been absolutely awful at it because iirc, they only tried it in the minors for a handful of games.

    He's a great athlete with decent speed and a great arm.. We have all seen him play a solid LF.. But 1B is a difficult and specialized position at this level, just like any other spot in the infield.

    Plus you don't have to worry about having to replace him defensively in a close and late situation. Yordan really hampered everything by his inability to play 1B. Which is just crazy to me.

    1B is a much more difficult position than people give it credit for.

    I'm dreaming of the day when Dusty's lineup includes Maldonado, Kessinger, and Hensley.  You know it's going to happen.

    When we have clinched the West with a week left in the season, I'll allow it.

    Diaz is a good hitting catcher. He is not a good hitting DH yet. Put Maldys ass on the bench, Diaz at catcher and get a real DH. Profit.

    This is where I like the Luis Robert trade. Yordan will DH and Diaz will catch..

    Well that was fucking stupid lol. I thought it was a ROY who won MVP that same season and knew the number was low (which its 2...couldn't think of them) so just guessed a random ass old dude.

    Oh come to find out it is anyone who won ROY and MVP during their career.

    Fail

    Nice job remembering Roland Schitt played for the Braves before the Rangers..

    Have we ever trotted out a worse 7-8-9 batting order? And I'm including the old NL days with pitchers batting. 

    Yes. Everett-Ausmus-pitcher

    What we have now is murderers row compared to that.

    I know.. if your ever stuck though you can take good guesses with the 3-5 layer that played for 10+ teams

  8. So I'm afraid I've discovered the secret weapon.. I'm hoping that it doesn't take away from the fun of it but there's a certain relief pitcher that would work for 6 squares today.

    Having Alonso instead of Abreu right now would be incredible. 

    Every club in the MLB (and NFL, NBA, ect) could play this game all day. That being said, I think we owe it to Whitley to give him a shot somewhere else. Its just not panning out.
