rico Posted June 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 And somehow I missed this...the Phillies acquired Jay Bruce from Seattle. Jay is one of 8 active players that has hit 300 HRs and 300 Doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Per the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Twins are interested in signing both Dallas Keuchel and Craig Kimbrel. Buyers not sellers? This is not the Twins franchise I grew to love 😀 Not sure I recognize my team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stlboiler23 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Contreras with 9 errors already. He can hit but that’s pretty bad defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seattle has 69 errors as a team. Next worse in the majors is the White Sox with 47. Now, THAT"S bad defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Jay Bruce with 3 home runs and 7 RBIs in his first 3 games with the Phillies. I always liked Jay Bruce. May just be the streakiest hitter ever to play MLB though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how a deal comes together sometimes. Glad we got it done. It's obviously been a glaring hole/need. 11 blown saves in 22 opportunities and somehow still leading division. Hopefully we can cross this need off the list now and focus on figuring out our hitting with RISP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Another thing i noticed. Tommy LaStella is having a great year for the Angels. .311/13/35. We could use some of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Maddon shifts people around, pretty much anywhere on the infield, but 2nd base would be my choice. I know Bote is heating up and good in the clutch, but I've always thought LaStella was a better hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and since Zobrist is on restricted list the money doesn't count towards cap as well as Morrow being months away still. Those 3 things were what Theo called unexpected variables yesterday that allowed this deal to take place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
