Still no word on a possible return for Mike Trout. I wonder how his teammates feel about him getting 10+ days off for something most players would get like 3 days for.
I really don't like him as a player. He looks like a league average hitter with no baserunning value and horrific OF defense. And to this point he hasn't had any platoon split, so he might just be a bad player even is used in a platoon. He's also 26 in two months.
So Edwin Encarnacion has only been a hair above replacement level this year. Almost two years into his 3/60 deal he's been worth 2.9 fWAR. Signing Morales to replace him was a mistake, but letting him walk in the first place was not.
The playoff race is crazy. The 9th place team is 34 games over 0.500, and 10th is 21 games over 0.500. DDL has the same settings, and 9th place is 2 games under 0.500. A good team is going to miss the playoffs.
