I feel the same about Fuji.  And I also love the moves like this Tucker Davidson one that cost us absolutely nothing to evaluate whether he can continue and improve that wiff stat with some coaching up.  If it amounts to nothing, so be it.  But they've proven that these acquisitions are worth a try.

Yeah, exactly. Why not make that claim. Davidson must have some traits they like. He’ll probably be waived at some point. He got to us in the waiver order, so he’ll likely get through when teams cut down for the fixed 40 man deadline before the rule 5.

It appears he has not been outrighted before. Maybe he is depth at this point, and we’ll see what they can do with him.

I'm fine with the profession, I question folks being armchair diagnosticians.

I have only diagnosed two pitchers in my life, Greinke and Matusz.  Greinke’s issues later became common knowledge and Matusz never made anything public if there was indeed an issue. Interestingly enough, they are all left handed. All of you left handed people have psychological issues! (Joke so I don’t offend the left handed community)

Back on the semi topic, I don’t see Fuji having psychological issues as much as confidence manifesting into command issues.

Greinke is not left-handed anyway.

    • JD Martinez would be a more of the same kind of acquisition. He is not an impact bat and he is a periphery (around the margins) piece at this point. Why not set the bar higher and sign Alonso? Acquiring Pete Alonso allows you to move on from Mountcastle and put Mayo (where he belongs right now) DH. It also allows you to move on from O'Hearn.  Alonso gets everyday ABs and Mayo does. Those two things to a large degree help solve the lineup imbalance against LHP. I know Alonso will cost real money. But again who are we paying? The money is there. It's time to start using it (if we want to win in October).
    • Your full quote said to use him as a DH for 100+ games. If you are worried about him being covered through his injuries - how can you assume he wouldn't be injured at the end of the season, going into the playoffs?
    • Here’s an exercise… it’s the postseason and the bases are loaded. The Santa scenario. Who on our current roster would you rather have up over JD Martinez?  Same fact pattern as Santander’s AB. 
    • I think the title of this thread told you his status
    • Why did you pare down my quote about it being for the post season and not just 162?  People, always so quick to clown someone. Lmao. Damn. At least use my whole quote bro.  If you think that we don’t need at least one proven playoff bat then that’s ok. My point is, that we have enough 1B/DH options to carry JD through his ups/downs/injuries over 162 for his experience, leadership, and playoff experience.  You can disagree, but quote me right. 
    • It's kind of amazing to me how no one knows Suarez's free agent status. I've heard it both ways. He's Schrodinger's baseball player.
    • Since JD Martinez has a career OPS of .950 in the postseason across 12 series and 151 plate appearances, I am sure our FO will have no use for him.  A veteran player who has experienced a lot of postseason success rarely helps young teams get to that next level.
