.500 team is true but it’s kind of misleading because it’s a playoff team. If you’re a playoff team would add a frontline starter for Kloff? That changes the equation quite a bit.
It would be tempting. It would really shore up our playoff odds and then give us a fighting chance once we get there.
The only problem is how unstable this season is. If we got hit by a Covid outbreak or something that could take key players out of the lineup for 3 weeks. Hate to give up something good and then that happen.
I like this deal a lot for the Jays, assuming that the player heading back isn't anything special which I doubt it is.
With 8 teams we should be able to make the playoffs unless we just totally s*** the bed somehow. One way to do that is for us to be forced to continually trot out too much replacement level trash (or worse) on a nightly basis. I would love to see a couple more moves like this, particularly to replace the Drury's and Panik's of the team.
It's only a matter of time before all MLB teams follow the Brewers lead and quit playing. But unlike the NBA who will just make the games up and collect the same paychecks anyway, MLB probably can't so the players will actually forego money. Which means the MLB boycott will probably last about a day or two at most.
I'm almost amazed at how bad Brandon Drury is at the game of baseball. A lot of guys suck but the longevity to his ineptitude is remarkable.
Chris Davis might be the only worse player in the game that sticks around but he's paid bank so there's an excuse. Drury just sticks around year after year, continuously sucking ass while also being incredibly cheap and easy to cut ties with. It's amazing.
Come on guys we pinch hit with Joe Panik today. Our bench is trash almost anyone with a pulse is an improvement. Vlad, Tellez, and Vogelbach is most definitely not ideal but between the 3 of them we’ve got a 1B, DH and pinch hitter each game now.
