    Question.
    Does Singleton have enough games in the bigs to qualify for the MLB pension?

    He was suspended 100 games in 2018 I think then released by the Astros. MLB no longer tests for weed.

    He got suspended while in the minors. They didn't test in the majors back then either, just had to be on 40-man. If he got suspended again after it would have been after getting DFAd

    No way I am letting Abreu destroy a lineup with him that high up next year. He should be around 7 or 8.

    Hopefully Singleton can make good on his promise from yester year.

    I was talking about the bats in the lineup, not the order.

    Let him play 1b and Abreu can DH. Who knows maybe Abreu hits better when he’s not in the field just like Diaz hits better when he is…

    Did you see any highlights? It was a wtf moment(2 things will make you go wtf on the same play) on how they scored their first 2 runs. Basically went from 3-0 to 3-2. Although if the A's player didn't screw up, they would have scored 1 run.

    Only takes 43 days, so yes. For what faults the MLBPA has for not doing enough for young players and minor league guys, their pension plan is amazing for those guys. Just one shot at the show qualifies you for the healthcare plan for life.

    Man, if he's getting worse reviews than Abreu's defense at first... I'm worried... lol.

    He likely isn't worse than Abreu, he just doesn't have a 60 million dollar guaranteed contract.

    The team (Dusty) never seems to see anything but the worst when it comes to Diaz.

    Exactly. Agreed with them just seeing the worst. It's been a shame so far on that.

    The few times we've seen Y. Diaz at first hasn't look bad though. I don't recall that he's had any errors there. Kessinger has at least 1 error at 1st base off the top of my head.

    Kessinger has only had 1 error and it was as a SS.
