Tulowitski for 3B/1B??

[Dtwncbad]

Just got released, and I don't think anyone believes he will be a shortstop going forward. . .

[WeaverFever]

I’m down. 

[totdprods]

Sort of an interesting buy-low, but it'd be foolish expecting much from him, and we probably need something a little more certain in that role.

[CanadianHalo]

His body is done

[T.G.]

He hasns't been healthy in a few years and he's 34.  If his name wasn't Tulo, would anyone really be interested?  I love the guy. One of my all-time favorites, but at this point in his career - I'd pass at almost any price.  I hope he proves me wrong though.

[UndertheHalo]

Oh give me a break. 

[eaterfan]

Look at his numbers. He's been not good offensively for 4 straight seasons. His numbers might be passable if he wasn't making much money as a SS. He shouldn't be playing in a corner. 

[Jay]

Take the Xanax.

 

[eligrba]

Q;  How do the Angels load the bases?

A:  Have Pujols and Tulo on base at the same time when some on hits a ball into the gap...........

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

During the late 80's and through most of the 90's we would be all over Tulo!!!.... Now, not so much~

Could you imagine the middle of that lineup

3. Dave Parker

4. Hubbie Brooks

5. Gone Dayes

6. Tulo

 

STELLAR!

As a fellow LB State guy, I still agree TOTALLY.    Tulo WAS great.   Tulo is also done.  He hasn't played since 2017.

[Dtwncbad]

Just heard that a huge part of him being released is he insists he is still a shortstop and has no interest in playing any other position.

Pass.

If true, hes letting his ego write checks he cant cash.  

[Second Base]

If he costs nothing, and the Angels aren't actually counting on him, then yeah totally. 

[red321]

Tulo? He’s still playing? Thought he was already on the HOF vet committee ballot. 

[Hubs]

FYI, he's only going to cost the league minimum. So essentially the same as Taylor Ward.

He's under contract for 2 years at 38M, meaning, the Jays pick that entire thing up. You're not claiming him, you sign him for 555k, and that money is deducted from his Jays contract obligation. He doesn't earn more money.

He will get offers. I don't think he will be stuck on playing SS, but we are the closest franchise to LB State, so I'm sure they'll inquire to see if he wants to play 1st/2nd/3rd and backup SS for the Angels.

[greginpsca]

Isn’t our DL full ?

He will likely find a team like the Mariners, Royals or Marlins who will be able to play him full-time. At league minimum it is very low risk for any team to pick him up and play him. This is a former All-Star with an extensive injury history but don't relegate him to nothingness yet, he could still pull out a 3-WAR season if he could just stay healthy.

I'd be on-board if he turned into a utility type around the diamond but he will almost certainly get better playing time with other teams. With Pujols and Ohtani's health in question to start the season he could easily pick up at-bat's with the Angels. If the opportunity is right then go for it, otherwise pass and let him rebuild his value elsewhere.

if he's willing to play third and learn some first base, i'd give him a spring training invite.

i can't imagine he'd be worse than valubuena/marte/ward.

FIFY

[nate]

He would be a great 10/60 DL option

[Stradling]

He would cost league minimum, sure why not, bring him to camp.

I'd rather see those AB's go to Taylor Ward in Spring Training.

[bloodbrother]

Not a bad idea. Who else do they get for the 90 or so games he ends up missing though?
