He’s not on the same level as the other guys power-wise, even though he has 20+ homers for the season.
Like his wife said, I think he’s just doing it to check it off his bucket list
I feel like this could be solved somewhat by having Varsho start at C in favor of Kirk with certain matchups. But that’s a whole other issue, FO seems to not want Varsho catching and I don’t think you can mess with the catcher/pitcher relationships right now
Varsho also scored from 1st on the double which not many players on the roster could do.
Kirk is a problem. He’s turned into mostly a singles hitter and his base running is absolute dogshit. Terrible combo.
Im almost glad Kirk got thrown out on the bases before Lukes’ double. Not sure he would have scored from 2nd there lol.
Dude has to be the worst base runner in the majors
Yosver Zulueta pitched in the futures game Saturday. Gave up 1 hit and 1 run but got 2 Ks. Both looking. The only 2 outs he got.
Also they used the challenge/robo-ump system and both Ks from Zulueta were challenged but upheld.
I’d almost think about starting Varsho at C once a week over Kirk at this point. That could be a way to get another bat in LF and lengthen the lineup a bit.
