Name a situation where Kjerstad plays?  Greg Soto makes it over him.  Just my two cents.

I am expecting big improvement from Greg Soto over the next month.  Add G Soto, minus Smith.

Mateo will make the playoff roster if healthy just on his base running alone.

Pinch hitting for Slater, Jimenez, Mayo, when a righty comes in after a lefty starter. Most likely he wouldn't get used at all, but there is at least a path, whereas Soto isn't going to be used unless theres an injury, and if someone gets hurt you can add him for the next game.

Hopefully you are right, and I forgot about Mateo, if he is ready he would make it for me as well.

Soto will be on the roster.  He had a two bad outings to start out but he's looked good since.  Kjerstad is still hurt.  

There's a long ways to go.  The roster make up will depend on who is back, and who we matchup against.

My mistake, I thought you meant Livan Soto. If G. Soto is pitching better when the time to make these decisions come around he would replace a pitcher like B. Smith or Akin for me, not a hitter. As SG mentioned, we wouldn't need to carry more than 12 pitchers.

And who is injured.   I don't think we can count on only players getting healthy from here forward.   Unfortunately players will get hurt as well.

If Mateo can swing the bat at all, I'm taking him over Slater.  Heck I might take him as a pinch runner over Slater.  Has Slater really had a big positive effect on a game yet?

He's 6-15 with 2 doubles and 2 walks, his playing time is pretty slim, but yes, he is having a positive impact when he has gotten the chance.

      In Grich’s case, I think his OBP skills weren’t appreciated at the time.  He was a .266 lifetime hitter in an era when that was maybe 10 points above average, but his .371 OBP was more like 45-50 points above average.  But OBP just wasn’t very valued at the time.

      We don’t have a current combo that is ideal. You have to go with the best possible grouping you have.

      Yep, we're in agreement on the 70 rWAR threshold.  A championship would help Manny's cause, though I'm not sure if that's in the cards for him in the near future.  He needs a big moment on a big stage, too....as silly as that sounds, I do believe it matters in the eyes of some voters. Not to derail, but Whitaker is a guy that belongs in the HoF, too.  I'm not sure why Grich never got serious consideration.

      I’ve always felt that 70 rWAR was the line between having to justify why someone shouldn’t be in the HOF versus justifying why they should.  In other words, if you’re over 70, there needs to be a reason for you NOT to be in.  There are 70 position players over 70 WAR, and the only ones not in are Bonds, Pujols (not yet eligible), Trout (not yet eligible), Rose, Bill Dahlen, Lou Whitaker, Raffy Palmeiro, Bobby Grich, and Carlos Beltran.  Really, only Dahlen, Whitaker and Grich have no obvious reason why they’re not in.  And I wouldn’t bet against Beltran getting in eventually.  He’s gotten  46% and 57% of the ballots his first two tries.

      Recency bias: "Is a common distorting effect within systems of performance appraisal. It refers to the appraiser assessing employee performance, not on work undertaken across the full performance management cycle, but only on recent events or activities that can be readily recalled. Recency bias can be countered by keeping a record of appraisee performance over the full period of work that is being appraised." https://www.oxfordreference.com/display/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803100407676

      You're right, I shouldn't assume he's a hole. More of an unknown (11 career AB). Still, an outfield of Slater, one unknown, and one hole isn't exactly ideal. I think Mountcastle 1B/Santander RF is pretty clearly preferable to Santander 1B/Kjerstad RF vs LHP when you include defense.

      I forget which game it was (Fri or Sat) but he also pulled a ball foul down the LF line that nearly snuck inside the pole. So he was close to having 2 HRs in the series
