    Is Connor Wong a starting catcher?

    One year of Mookie has generated 6 years of Wong, 3 years of Verdugo, and whatever the trio of Yankee arms turn into. We can debate the decision to trade him forever. Obviously the Dodgers don’t regret it. But given that the trade happened, the return could have been a lot worse.

    What to do with Yoshida?

    I'm not suggesting they DFA him. If he's a 105+ guy, he's worth keeping around. I expect he will pay a bunch once Devers fully heals. But if he truly is a DH-only, who won't even do that sometimes vs LHP, we have to ask how much worse he can get and still keep his job. Because devoting a...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    But he's no longer a viable OF, in the eyes of the club anyway. That's a big distinction. He's played 1 inning there, in an emergency.

    What to do with Yoshida?

    And that's great. But where am I wrong about Yoshida's usage pattern, and the concerns that it brings up? Do you expect him to play in the OF at all going forward? And I'm not even saying he should. I'm saying that if he isn't (outside of an emergency), it brings up some tough questions...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    So, we all understand that if Devers isn't ready for 3B, he has to DH and let the chips fall where they may. But twice now Refsnyder (a nice fielder but no Dwight Evans) has gotten the nod against a RHP. If we are at the place with him where he can't play the OF outside of an emergency and...

    Anxiety is Good for You

    Thats a pretty grim diagnosis because Refsnyder sucks against righties, 14 plate appearances from this year aside. But…maybe it’s true.

    Anxiety is Good for You

    Twice now they’ve gone with Refsnyder over Yoshida vs a RHP. I think we can safely infer that Yoshida will never play the OF outside of an emergency?

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    You forgot Dalbec, who, at the moment, is the regular 1B. .054/.125/.084, -40 ops+

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    The DFA process lasts 7 days, so between Cooper and the May 1 opt out, hopefully something breaks a week from now.

    Wilyer Abreu to be called up

    The Story injury may end up having some upside as otherwise it might have been tough for Abreu to get regular AB.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Will it? Grissom plays neither of the positions Dalbec does. I’d think Grissom means Valdez goes, and Dalbec hopefully goes if/when they get Cooper or someone else after May 1.

    What to do with Yoshida?

    What part was silly? I made it clear that I got it for today and yesterday. Is Tyler Heineman is the bar for how good a righty has to be to DH over Yoshida? And before you say "it was just one game", I'll point out that it was one game after he had just sat twice in the past four games and...

    What to do with Yoshida?

    Today I get. Yesterday I mostly get (could have put him in for Ref or Dalbec given a RH but whatever, maybe they don't think Ref can handle 1B). Sunday -- his platoon split isn't especially stark (735 vs L/786 vs R). I don't get this one at all, it's not quite Mr Burns pulling Strawberry for...

    The Amazing Criswell?

    This one makes sense with Yoshida. Some of the others, not so much.

    Bello to IL with lat tightness

    Hope so but they said the same thing about Pivetta, who was eligible to be back last Sunday.

    https://twitter.com/chriscotillo/status/1783200529394307502?s=46&t=Fn-zgxU-0WxTwK3KrcXj3Q Sitting today makes sense — break Devers in slowly, don’t want to take Abreu out of the lineup. But the pattern over the past week, especially Sunday, is very suspicious. EDIT -- Anyone know why this is...

    Chase Meidroth

    He has split time almost equally at 2B, SS, and 3B so far in Worcester. Hmmm.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Dalbec with another 100 PA will hit better than 031/114/063. But projection models often don't work great with outlier cases, and Dalbec's K rate is an outlier. I don't see him holding a K rate of 36.7, which would be barely more than what he had last year as a 28 year old in AAA. I'll...

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    I gotta think Masa's trade value was pretty well into negative territory even before the strange usage of the past week.

    Casas has a left rib fracture. He will be out "a while." (4/23 update)

    Rafaella makes it sorta possible, but I don't see them carrying two 1B-only guys.
