The Giants are so weird.
Crawford, Posey, Belt, Longoria, Ruf all decided to simultaneously turn back the clock 4-6 years and become the peak versions of themselves again. In their mid-30s.
I don't want to leave Kirk at AAA much longer beyond his return date if he's healthy.
Steamer projects him as the second best hitter at C in all of baseball. And I think we all see that offensive potential. He's got to be one of the two catchers on the team. The defense is passable.
Edit - By the way, look who is 12th on the list now.
Why don't people want depth?
I doubt any other major league position player on the team gets traded (except a catcher maybe)
And there's no way you are trading a player and then bringing up Kevin Smith hoping he can help you win a playoff spot.
Just in the past few weeks we've seen:
-Joe Panik DHing
-Joe Panik playing 1B
-Joe Panik the only lefty bat available on the bench late in games
There isn't a roster issue with Dickerson. The roster issue was only having Panik for those spots.
Go back to a 4-man bench if need be.
It was relatively even but it was still one of the worst games of the season.
Go to the link you quoted: https://umpscorecards.com/site-data/games.html
And click on the column header for "Total Run Impact" until it is sorted into a descending order. That game had the third most umpire sway of the season.
It just happened that the horrible calls evened out for both teams.
Vladdy hit a car in batting practice a week or so ago.

Huh?
Mad Max is bigger, 20 years younger and crazier. He would rock Girardi.
Edit - Apparently he was yelling at Kevin Long on the Nationals bench anyways.
