LOL, Baez. They set up the last two pitches about a foot outside.

True. I am thinking more of the organization's mantra of positional versatility in general. If your roster is set up so that you have multiple guys playing all over the place, it may help you with offensive platoons but you also might be sacrificing defense.

I believe it's hard to excel at multiple positions in the same season. It's nice to have positional versatility, but there may be such a thing as overusing it.

The 70s... Brian Downing.

I agree he should be at 2B nost often, but I really doubt what position he plays affects his OPS much if at all.

Well, if he doesn't make a decision in the next few weeks, then the decision would have been made for him!

I wouldn't be opposed to an extension, but prior to this year he had a history of injuries so I don't know that he is in great physical shape. You are always taking a chance with pitchers on multi-year deals, but it's a chance you can take if you anticipate contention over the course of the deal.

Yes, the play doesn't tell me anything about his skills. Cabrera can probably make one play like that if he gets lucky.

I don't know where he started at the beginning of the play, but based on the timing of the video and the fact that he was waiting for the ball at third base, I would guess that he was shaded very far towards the third base line to start the play. You really can't tell anything about his ability from one play.

I'd vote for a petrified dinosaur bone over Donald Trump. I don't like that Biden is so old, but all the other main candidates are so awful that there is no choice other than Biden. I am still hoping somebody reasonable and younger emerges.

It was never proven that Bagwell or Pudge took PEDs. Like you, I think the majority of players took PEDs in the era prior to stricter testing and penalties. So, I don't care about PED use so much during that period. Once they had strict penalties in place and players like Ramirez and Ortiz still got caught taking them, I can see where they might be judged more harshly. Ortiz got in because the media liked him. Ramirez didn't because they disliked him which of course is unfair.

Remember when Trump wrote a book?

I never understood why Pat Underwood started game 2. Was there a good reason for that or was it just Anderson trying to the smartest guy in the room?

There is no rule against your daughters (who also have zero home runs) playing in the majors

It's going to be 8 four team divisions and there will be 8 wild cards. Always remember that "Americans love brackets"

I liked him because I didn't notice him too much. He just blended in naturally. Dickerson doesn't need a lot of analysis in the background.

Adduci didn't like that either.

I remember at the end, he was being really critical of the organization. I was not sure whether he did that in response to the Verlander incident knowing that he was gone anyway or whether they dumped him for being critcial and used the Verlander incident as an excuse.

I think he was blackballed because he was critical of the Tigers organization. On another note...On two occasions, Fenech took my blog post and used it as his entire Free Press article. He gave me full credit, so I loved it but it was strange that he did that.

I haven't subscribed for a really long time. I thought Caputo was doing it for a while. Morosi was one of the Tigers best beat writers ever.

Who was the previous one? Caputo?

At least Trumpers can no longer say that the motown mods never delete the libs.

I think a lot of people cheat. B-Ref reported a big surge in their same team tool since the grid started. I cheat too sometimes, but I don't post my cheated results anywhere. I get as many answers as I can without cheating. Then I give myself hints after I give up on the remaining squares.

He couldn't even throw one for a strike early in his career. He was a better pitcher after 30 than before 30.

It was 8.
