I have the MiLB app and see a lot of him, dude doesn't belong in AAA. I think that is a good idea. Davis has a strong arm and is probably better than Snider out there.

Dude has failed at the major league level. I am sure he'll get another chance. Much like Steve Pearce and Jimmy Paredes.

What I want to know, is how well does Parmalee play first base? I do not prescribe to the hide a slug at first base club. I live out here in the Midwest, and Eric Hosmer is so good at first base that he makes all of the other infielders better. A lot better.

Davis does that too. At least to my eye.

Parmelee has a history of having a great minor league season, getting called up, and doing nothing. Maybe he's figured it out at 27, but I wouldn't count on it.

We have a lot of those type of players on this team. Chris Davis, Pearce, paredes etc.

Could we designate de Aza for assignment?

If someone scoops him up we get our money back and if not, he goes to AAA and waits. Win win. He doesn't have the ability to refuse assignment yet does he?

If we did bring up parmalee and he struggled, we could always bring up Alvarez or reimold later in the season to replace him as well.

De Aza brings absolutely NOTHING to the table that isn't replaceable by someone else in our organization right now.

Lough can definitely do the same job at the plate, only with better outfield defense.

Nobody is picking up De Aza. Nobody is trading for De Aza. He has no value.

I agree, but I think this changes if a team with injuries/depth problems in the OF wants a lefty veteran down the stretch. Kind of like us last year. I don't want to wait that long just to save his salary -- we have a division to win.

Maybe. I doubt it though. We have been saying that for 2 years with a certain lefty in the bullpen. Last I checked, Matusz is still here.

      41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .

      I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.

      Which core players beside Adley Rutschman struggled?

      The entire commentary on Hyde and the team seems odd but have to admit there does seem to be something off.   Team seemed adrift for most of the 2nd half.  A very talented team went off the rails midway through the season mostly due to core players struggling and rookies not performing or filling in adequately for a few injured starters.    None of the position player trade line acquisitions performed that well.     Hyde seemed in over his head or at a loss on how to correct things, but he must have convinced Elias that he has a plan to fix things.  Curious to see what happens with the coaching staff.
