Trout to DL

[Stradling]

And not under contract

[Jeff Fletcher]

The maximum you can retro a DL stint is 3 days. They actually made the transaction on Thursday night but didn’t announce it.

damn...Mike Trout sucks at sliding. Too bad there aren't unlimited pinch runners like in beer league softball

That would be cool if you could have 1 player in the lineup who gets a PR every time he hits the ball, Figgins career would have lasted longer.

Upton has a no  trade clause a I personally wouldn’t trade him for two bullpen arms.

Too bad. The guy is like Albert, absolutely autrocious against lefties. That's 2 automatic outs for the next few years. I had no idea that Richard's injury requires Tommy John. What a bummer. So you still have Ohtani, (hopefully he can stay healthy), Skaggs, Heaney, Barria, with the Shoe and Trop vying for 5th starter.Not bad, and I would like to see them convert Bedrock to a starter.

He has a career .878 OPS against lefties. Just last year he had a 1.155 OPS against them.

At least the Mookie/Trout MVP arguments will stop.

But the Mookie/Ramirez arguments will continue, which is what it was anyways.

How's he and Albert hitting lefties today?

How are they hitting lefties, tomorrow?

Naw, don't think about tomorrow.

You'll have nightmares, tonight.

Time for Billy to toss in the towel. See what you can get for Upton on a waiver deal. A couple more young arms for the pen. '19 starters set and look good.. Richards, Barria, Heaney, Skaggs, Ohtani.  Ward's ready to take over 3b. bring him up now. Put Cowart in LF and just leave him there the rest of the year to get his rips. Stay with Fletch at 2b  to get his rips. Trout was sent back down in '11 don't make the same mistake twice. Thaiss ready? Not sure, marginal.

Irstie or Bengie or Salmon for '19 manager?

Upton isn't a problem.

and it's "Ersty"

Richards is out with Tommy John surgery and will no longer be under contract.

Time for you to leave the GM work to the experts.

Trouts WAR has taken a hit while he has been out. It was 7.9 before the injury. It's climbed down to 7.5 now. I do not remember his defense being bad before the injury but it must have been atrocious. 

[happybat4]

And his WAR is now 7.8. Lots of fluctuations while he has been out.
