Who’s now been DFA. Haven’t heard if he was claimed though.

He’s back with Norfolk

Oh yeah, forgot about that guy. Guess I was thinking he was doing the 26-man roster not a guy who was DFA'd and outrighted to Norfolk.

He was never on the 26-man, right?  Claimed 8/28, DFA 9/1, outrighted 9/3.  So I guess he went unclaimed.

Statcast had Lucan Soto at just over 50 in 2022. Not enough data since then. Eye test says he looks pretty fast.

Correct

I still think him having a role on the playoff roster is likely.

Kjerstad’s sprint speed (maximum speed at fastest 1 second interval) of 28.4 is a lot better than his HP to 1B avg time of 4.34 seconds because he has sort of a reverse jailbreak and is slow to accelerate to top speed.

What is Mayo sprint time?

There should be a - sign in front of the 6 for Jiminez.

I think they are keeping Mayo off the field just to obscure his sprint speed.

I think I could beat Jimenez in a foot race, even with my bad knees.

Depends if there’s a buffet table at the finish line.  

More seriously, Jimenez runs like a guy who’s had many leg injuries and doesn’t want to run so hard that he pulls something.  Trust me, as a 67-year old softball player, I know exactly what that looks like.
