    This Larry Andersen guy seems pretty good. Perhaps we could trade him for an upgrade at 1st base?

    I hear the Red Sox have an up and coming 3B prospect that could work.

    My brother and I talk about this all the time. It’s wild. The average isn’t nearly as bad as I remember, but the OPS is still pretty damn horrible comparatively.

    No way you give away Andersen for some schmuck minor league corner infielder.

    Don't care what people say, I like Adam Clanton. I appreciate he's as much a homer as I am.

    I want to see what Yordan can do on a driving range.

    In what way? Distance of homers he is his equal or better. As a player? Judge has done things Yordan hasn’t yet.

    He is more than 5 years younger than Judge.

    Per 162g
    Judge 119r / 26 dbl / 49hr / 111rbi. / .972OPS

    Yordan 110r / 38dbl / 45hr / 126rbi / .976OPS

    To equal Judge's age 30 totals Yordan needs:

    281r / 19dbl / 118hr / 215rbi in the next 5 years.

    Who will be better then next 5 years?

    Yordan ages 26-30 or Judge ages 31-35?

    Stupid Baker. Pena hits a home run then gets benched. (did I do that right?)

    We need to see a lot more Hensley playing infield, because it's a great time to evaluate if he can be Diaz's successor.

    Yes. But Alvarez wasn't benched, so Dusty's improving...

    It's a better time to make sure Aledmys is going to be healthy enough to play in the playoffs.

    I approve of this line-up in September with a 14 game lead.

    L/R/S POS PLAYER OBP SLG OPS+
    1. R 2B ALTUVE, Jose 377 508 885
    2. R LF DIAZ, Aledmys 309 429 738
    3. L DH ALVAREZ, Yordan 408 624 1032
    4. R 3B BREGMAN, Alex 376 465 841
    5. L RF TUCKER, Kyle 335 485 820
    6. R 1B MANCINI, Trey 293 422 715
    7. R CF McCORMICK, Chas 319 403 722
    8. R C VASQUEZ, Christian 273 247 520
    9. R SS HENSLEY, David 435 421 856
    Vasquez is a better hitter than he's shown so far. He is spelling Maldy before the playoffs and that is a good thing. Gurriel being given rest by Mancini at 1B is also good.

    I'm looking forward to 9 through 5 today.

    8 of the 9 are slugging better than 400.

    Also give a rest day to Altuve and Bregs down the stretch too.
