Remind me again, what are our weaknesses?

He had 3 HRs in his previous 5 games.  But it is likely, at this point, that he is not an option against lefty starters.

By September it’s likely Anthony will be back-if he can manage to stay healthy. Duran will then become an appendix.

I think they’ll both be back. Anthony is now hitting from a pitching machine to ramp up the velocity. I would guess if all goes well he’ll be back in maybe a month. Crochet thinks he’ll pitch again but in relief. He said it’s unrealistic to expect he can ramp it up to start. He’s willing to do that.

He still can’t lay off high fastballs.

If a Duran type of player is our biggest weakness, then I feel pretty good,  He should put up good numbers if we restrict him to RH pitchers.

If a player with an injured hand is hitting in early August, I assume he'll be back by late August, or early September.  Fred is lurking; what does your medical background suggest?

From 6/13-8/2, Slaten had the 4th best fWAR in baseball. 3rd best FIP.

He keeps getting hurt, looks good, looks bad, looks great,,,, rinse and repeat.
