He doesn't look a day over 40.
Up from the depths.
Hit 'em where they ain't six times.
My observation about Galvis. The Phillies fans loved him. Played hard, with good skills. Not a star star, but solid.
The modern baseball take? Not great power for his OBP, and not a great OBP. So, what's he good for?
Umm, Good defense? With offense?
In any case, Galvis is exactly the sort of talented player who evolves out of the majors as they hit 30 or so. But there aren't many of those I've seen who excited crowds the way Freddy did.
Ummm ... ok ... but Rojas was being promoted without any MLB experience.
I know he's over 70, but Palmer has a better shot at getting Torres out than anyone on the current roster.
On local Houston sports radio today they made the observation that IF you combine his 2019 AAA and MLB stats, he'd be on pace to win the triple crown in this, his rookie year.
Its a big if, but impressive nonetheless. Astros are simply stacked right now. Fun time to be a fan!
Rumor has it that #22 will be suiting up to face him tonight.
Per rotoworld.com ...
Phillies signed C Nick Hundley to a minor league contract.
He figures to serve as their third catcher in September, although it's possible the Phils view him as an upgrade over current backup Andrew Knapp. Hundley was released by the A's last month after batting .200/.233/.357 with two homers over 31 games.
Nationals signed RHP Greg Holland to a minor league contract.
AAA, especially this year, is practically worthless ... see Ty France for example ... it's possible that .318/.366/.560 translates to an OPS+ below 100 ...
I hate it when there are guys on an NL team that I've *never* heard of!
I guess we need a page for Brian?
Reds optioned first baseman/outfielder Brian O'Grady to Triple-A Louisville.
Having a helluva AAA season - .318/.366/.560 with only a 17% K rate, and 18 HR in 384 ABs ... but damn if he didn't just get jumped right over in the organizational depth chart by the newly acquired Rojas.
Six more homers against the Orioles since Tim posted in May, three coming today in the double-header. Yanks' HR total against O's reaches 59.
Kind of weird to be waived on your way to a career year.
Up from the depths.
Need a page for Joshua.
Diamondbacks released RHP Greg Holland.
17 saves ... 10.3 K/9 ... poof ... gone!
He cost us $21 (4x4, 12-team, AL only), and my partner was in agony. But I didn't see any upside on the rest of the outfielders at that point.
