Looks like he's at about 22% body fat or so. Pretty sloppy for a guy allegedly desperate to stick in MLB. If he actually worked hard and got down to around 15% body fat (still can eat and drink plenty at that level...) and worked on his 1B defense he'd have a helluva lot better chance. That he's not even a passable backup 1B really kills any value he has as a end of the 26 man type.

Poor ass roster management on the edges of the 40 man imo. He burned the bridge to Chicago when he did his little "I'm quitting" shit. They never had any intentions of ever again using him in MLB. That’s not what burned his bridge to Chicago. He has a lot of issues that will hold him back. As much as I enjoyed his Yerminator performance to start 2021, I’m glad he’s someone else’s problem.

GreenSox Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I doubt it's coincidental that a top org in analytics claims players from an org. that is consistently a generation behind in analytics. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 So the thing is, Yermin doesn't have to go directly on to the major league roster at this point. The Sox already used his option, and that is good for the season, so they can just 40 man roster him, and send him to AAA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Yermin's chance at sticking is to find a lefty heavy team, where he might be able to stick as a platoon DH and pinch hitter. He's never going to play a position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to be motivated when you do your best and the result is your employer yells at you, implores others to throw 95 MPH league balls at you from 60 feet away, and then permanently blacklists you. Most workers can quit and go elsewhere.

He’s a bit redundant with righty Darin Ruf, but the rest of the San Francisco bench leans left-handed. Mercedes crushed lefties last season to the tune of .339/.386/.523 in 70 plate appearances. He did not bring the same oomph against same-handed hurlers, however, hitting just .246/.307/.360 in 175 plate appearances against righties. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/06/giants-claim-yermin-mercedes-off-waivers-from-white-sox.html Edited June 20, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in fairness Yermin doesn't look drunk in the video and there is no evidence he drove anywhere. Just a shirtless dude enjoying some champagne.

caulfield12 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 It was somewhat petty to try to control/punish Merecedes like that by keeping him in the organization. At least after last season ended. They had zero intention of recalling him. Even with Collins gone, Zavala and then Carlos Perez were 3rd and 4th on the depth chart. I can understand why he celebrated his departure, even if it also came across as immature. The Giants are the much better organization to play for right now. Everything they do has a purpose and plan behind it, both short and long/er term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baseball players are well paid and can leave whenever they liked. To compare the horrors and depravity of slavery to being a baseball player is disgusting. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
