Polanco -- A Distressed Asset

Polanco -- A Distressed Asset

<t>I guess some people have to stick to nonsense as long as possible. Polanco isn’t just hitting now. He has a season OPS+ of 119 just as he did when many started complaining about him.

What do you want to see...

<t>They did find Rodriguez out of nowhere and his usage is something I’d like to see changed. He’s been the best reliever on the team but he’s being pitched multiple innings in low leverage situations. I want him to be exclusively a late inning reliever. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> The thing I most want...

Pedro Alvarez Overall Career Grade

<t>All of his WAR is encompassed in two years with the rest of his career basically evening out at replacement level. He's virtually the same player as Kip Wells. Wells had the benefit of not having such high expectations but the detriment of never being a part of anything significant. But, I guess ...

Tuesday game thread: Tallion faces Brewers

<t>I don't know that I subscribe to the Ray Searage magic, but the notion that he's somehow holding Pirates pitchers back is at least equally silly. Kuhl, Kingham, Williams and Musgrove seem to be progressing at a rate one might have hoped for so far. Taillon looked great and then sustained injuries...

Tuesday game thread: Tallion faces Brewers

That Astros p...
