caulfield12 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 For future payroll purposes, have they defined exactly how many games out of 60 we're going to have to play to constitute a full contractual year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I just can't grasp the line of thinking of putting your worst hitter 4th and 2nd worst 5th in the line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Collins with the definition of a slider speed bat there...I mean, this guy is essentially their sixth starter/swing man and throws harder than Josh Tomlin but he's nothing special by any stretch of the imagination.

Chisoxfn Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 4 minutes ago, Jose Abreu said: Yup, this isn't some new development and having Adam Engel, Leury Garcia, Nicky Delmonico as starting corner outfielders was incredibly predictable. None of those guys were expected to be starting outfielders though - they were all bench guys and Nomar and Jimenez being out is pushing the issue. I'd also say Leury isn't bad and Engel for what he is, isn't bad. I still believe in this teams upside - they just need to be able to see through this and not get too backed up - there issue will be if they dig a hole and it buries them psychologically. With a limited summer camp too - it just impacts everything (rust, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is they were expected to be starting outfielders, because it would be foolish to assume that all 3 of Eloy/Robert/Mazara stay healthy given their track records 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 So they tell you how this guy strikes hardly anyone out and gets fewer swings and misses than almost anyone, and he strikes out the side. All swinging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
