Hermosillo has had 21 plate appearances. A little early to shut the door on him.

I’d start him everyday until Eppler and his team decides if he is the guy this year or not.  If not, go get that guy.

This x1000

He has had nearly 300 at bats in the big leagues and has struck out 37% of the time.

I was telling the truth. But it’s fine if you want to be an ass about it.

Oh ok. I thought you knew something about this that I didn’t know.  The only way he could come back up before ten days would be if someone goes on the DL.  Now what I don’t know is if he can be called up now since they already replaced the injured player on the roster with someone else.

Why does Blake Parker's glove have several black fingers, is it from pine tar?

Ha. I'm calling bullshit. If it were true, why didn't it autocorrect it the first time you used it? 

"Meaning, I do not have hope for Hermosillo. He was a below average minor league hitter with a career 267 Batting average. So he will likely be a below average major LEAUGE hitter. "

Autocorrect only saves errors when you save them that way. 

Why is it so difficult for people to just admit they screwed up? 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Half of Seattle's wins have been by 1 run. That can't continue can it?

With a not-terrible 322 OBP. He walks a lot. He's always going to have a crap batting average.  What's weird is that his crazy power has not translated to the bigs. If it did, he'd be a league average RF. If it really did, he might even be able to be a little better than average. 

I'm willing to give him more chance to see if the power finally shows up in MLB.

what exactly is a "self spelling nazi"?

According to covfefe, not Trump?

Great win!

How much more of Pujols, Valbueana, and Chris Young do we have to endure?

You should read my post again. I  freely admitted to spelling it wrong, as that is the reason why I was auto corrected,  because I had spelled it wrong in the past. So I literally admitted to screwing up. 

 

Why is it so hard for people to just admit that they are being an ass 

[Lou]

it doesn't autocorrect to an incorrect spelling lol

Albert is fine.  I’d much rather have him up than half of our current options.  

[Lou]

just say you were bullshitting everyone and move on.

Lol @ .680 OPS is "Fine"

His OPS+ is under 90. He's a huge problem in the cleanup spot, Strad

[Angel Oracle]

When Simmons returns, there is NO reason for Pujols to hit cleanup again.   Even With Ohtani out, once Simba returns...

Kinsler, Simba, Trout, Upton, Pujols, Cozart, Valbuena/Marte/JMF, Machete, Hermosillo

Why add Pujols? He is here for four more years or until he wants to retire early.  

Agree regarding valbueno and young

Who do you put in there?

Simmons? Ohtani?  

Keep focusing on Young.

And Pujols has had some clutch hits. I’m not saying Pujols is doing great. But we have far worse concerns than Pujols.

As if he wouldn't still be batting 4th if those guys were healthy

He is terrible.  But the alternatives are definitely thin.
