When Bobby Dee started going the other way, instead of trying to pull everything, it opened up a whole new world.
The way he's going, he may pass Verdugo, then Renfroe and Kike on the OPS leader list, and down the homestretch at that!
Leadoff batter Nick Yorke had another tremendous game at the plate, going 3 for 5 with two doubles and a home run. He's up to .435/.458/.826 in his first five games with the Drive.

7.64 ERA in the minors in 34 IP.
Gotta be a step up from Robles!
Isn't hindsight wonderful.
Why not mention Kimbrel?
BTW, Bloom just acquired Brad Peacock. Forget the hindsight: good move or bad?
RP'ers are pure guesses at the deadline. Bloom guesses wrong. Get out the firing squad.
One SS that may fly under the radar as so many big-named ones will be signing, this winter, is Simmons.
The guy is the best defensive SS and is not a bad hitter.
He won't be cheap, but he won't cost half of Correa.
Even if we don't trade Bogey, this is a pretty solid IF:
1B: Devers
2B: Arroyo
3B: Bogey
SS: Simmons
The OF would look good:
LF: Verdugo
CF: Kike
RF: Renfroe
4th: Duran
Dalbec would be on the bench or traded.
While Correa is a GG SS, I'm not sure he's top 3 on D, but he'd be a big gain on defense over Bogey. So, what's they idea? Trade Bogey for a pitcher and sign Correa and a pitcher?
