Despite the team slump, we are still 12th in runs scored and...
2 runs from 11th
3 runs from the top 10 tier
6 runs from 9th
Not bad for a team ranked 29th in ISO at .141!
(We're 7th in OBP at .332.)
Rutledge's rehab stint is nearly over. He will need to be traded or DFA'd, With Devers in MLB, there should be room for Chavis there, but I'm fine with the choices being made on promotions.
No fire.
No desire.
Lacking fundamentals:
Leon walks back to the back stop, and he doesn't realize last night's winning run is going from 1st to 3rd on the WP.
HRam turns to look to LF as he rounds third to score the go-ahead run- just barely.
The beat goes on under JF's non watchful eyes.
How about...
Trade Price for some top prospects
Flip all the prospects plus Travis, Vaz, Callahan, Dalbec, Ysla, Beeks & Lakins
for
Verlander, J Wilson & Avila
Not counting tonight's "hit fest" game...

His .331 OBP is 15 points over his career .316 OBP. I don't see him leading off,
even with his speed.
His splits are pretty even over his career:
.728 vs RHPs (.328 OBP)
.706 vs LHPs (.294 OBP)
He's a first half hitter:
.756 1st
.680 2nd
His .790 away OPS is encouraging this year.
He has a SB% of about 75% over his career.
I see him more as insurance at 3B, DH, LF and maybe even SS/2B.
