Why would the Dodgers do it? Puig is cheap and under control through 2018.

Because Puig's a headache who's severely underperforming and seemingly hurt a lot. They may want to "win now"

Gotcha. I just think despite all that having Puig for 2017 and 2018 for a total of 14 million make him more valuable than Bautista for half a year. Especially with no DH in the NL and Bautista coming off his injury.

[Daniel Labude]

Saunders sitting against the LHP, Barney can play the OF. Travis isn't leading off, Barney is?

 

I miss typed the Travis part...meant to say why isn't he leading off. I think Travis would be a better fit in LF in this emergency situation

Considering Puig has been s***, does whatever the f*** he wants, and the Dodgers not caring about money. They wouldn't miss him at all. They want him gone. It's trying to salvage value for him being the problem. That contract is a bargain if he's playing the way hes capable of playing. Problem is its not happening.

Well, I'm not sure if this video belongs here or in the Off Topic section but I think it explains where Buck Martinez has been. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fKfMUR9qVk

 

Obviously I stole this off reddit.

 

 

That was damn painful to watch.

Agreed. Seems Saunders left because of a family issue.

[Candy Maldonado]

I read that they have to make a decision on Morales within 48 hours.

No one else is close in WAR

They're equivalent with the bat. Trout has the edge in baserunning, Donaldson has it on defense

 

As usual it will come down to other silly things (RBI, team making playoffs or not, etc)

Kershaw is - and he's been hurt for a bit.

 

 

Nevertheless - How bizarre is it to see Ian Desmond 5th overall at 4.7?

Kershaw doesn't play in the AL.

In this case I wouldn't mind that since it means JD would repeat. That said I could see Altuve winning because he's not far behind in WAR, has never won it before, and "look at dat AVG".

[G-Snarls]

Kershaw doesn't play in the AL.

 

I only showed top 2, all of baseball, but only position players, and I didn't mention that.

 

Hence confusion.

Yeah, but if he hadn't got hurt, he was going to win both the MVP and Cy Young.

Good for him. Hes getting his revenge for everyone calling him an idiot on passing up the Nats extension. He will probably get more now.

Unless Texas have a similar extension on the table, it was still pretty stupid. He could be making the big time cash already.

Will see. I just felt bad for the guy to be honest. Got some really bad advice and he's shutting people up. He should clean up in the OF market this year.

[Maahfaace]

Crazy how the red sox have 4 in the top 25, would of never guessed it outside of Bogaerts.

Going Camping for 2 days Friday morning... Hope we take at least 2 of 3 from Seattle.

 

It feels like I haven't watched any games with all these days off lately, kind of frustrating, Oh well.
