supposedly 1 minor leaguer coming back.

Getting anything for him (as he wasn't going to be resigned) is good.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Looks like Blair will start Friday (unless another trade is made).

 

[Mondo Jay]

Not Dansbys fault he is struggling, he got brought up too early without even playing in AAA.

Might be time for him to get some AAA experience.

 

[Mondo Jay]

Gotta admit. After his performance last year, I wasn't worried at all about Dansby coming into this season. Obviously, he struggles against breaking balls (esp sliders). That is all he will see until he proves to the league he can hit them.

Not playing AAA shouldn't affect his ability to field ground balls. He has been one of the worst SS in the league this year defensively.

Swanson only spent about one month less than Benintendi did, but Swanson didn't exactly dominate in AA. He batted .261/.342/.402 (117 wRC+), which is nice for a shortstop but nothing special, especially for a guy with his prospect pedigree. Not to mention Swanson wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire at the time of his promotion (.256/.373/.326 in August in AA). Benintendi hit .295/.357/.515 (138 wRC+) in AA, and that was with a slow start. From May 24 to July 31, he batted .312/.374/.546 (152 wRC+) with 23 walks to only 24 strikeouts.

I'm sure he'll be fine though.

I mean if we cant get a good return I would keep him too. 1B isnt that valuable.

Especially when it's a platoon bat.

Why Aaron Blair?? We've seen him and he sucks

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice start!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Fucking Nice!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Come on Markakis...you gotta get that runner home there.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Fucking Markakis....should have had at least 3 runs maybe more.

 

[gobigred]

Nice start by offense. 4 hits is about a games worth lately

Lol. No one here gives a fuck about Benintendi.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice.

 

[Mistaken4193]

FREDDIE!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Fuxking Kemp strikes again

 

[Mistaken4193]

My God Aaron Blair vs the Dodgers.....this could get biblical.

 

[navamind]

Lol. No one here gives a fuck about Benintendi.

I mentioned him because they're both college players that went from AA to the majors.

 

[Mistaken4193]

SUZUKI HR!!
