No idea, Baker seems like a dumb pickup.

Sounds like at least 3 thumbs down votes now, agree, Baker move seems dumb.

 

[tigermud]

Please just Below in now rather than after they get a couple more. TIA

Raburn's on the DL, which is probably why they made the move. Bench and IF depth.

I have a feeling Raburn's "injury" will last until Sept. 1st.

Lloyd will ride Max until it's 5-2. Leyland probably texting him from the clubhouse.

We need to conserve the BP with the Yanks coming to town for 4 games.

Nice pitch and throw DP!!

 

[manchild98]

Strike em out throw em out...I thought he was safe....and he was.

Wow, he looked safe at 2nd.

Still, I'll take it, strike 'em out, throw 'em out.

BP is well rested though. Below has not pitched in ages, the only guy who has pitched a lot is Choke.

 

[manchild98]

He was definitely safe at 2nd. Oh well. We've been boned so much by 2nd base calls this year they owe us.

Good Job Getting tossed Laird, Alex ties it up!

baker pickup is nothing to get happy about..but to people saying they don't see how its an upgrade are dumb...baker isn't even a good hitter..but is probably miles better than raybum and worthless

Keep it going Ajax!

Baker actually hits leftys well and 20 of his 34 hits have been for extra bases and he has a good fielding %....

God Damn!

How are we not beating this Jared Weaver's hair looking AAA'r?

ok so a very slight upgrade?

Career OBP

Worth .307
Raburn .311
Baker .320

yippy, largely a waste of time when you factor in career national league and will be facing many pitchers for the first time.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yeah, sure was a great player to use our waiver pick on huh? DD must really be in it to win it...

So now unless anyone else has made a claim today, we're dead last in the AL for waiver claims now. :argh:

It really makes no senses right MI? Unless a trade is brewing... But still I guess .269 .306 .448 .753 with 4 homers is better then what we have been getting from our bench..I guess

God Damn!

I was just thinking the same thing an inning ago when this due looks down and you can't see his face it looks like Weaver out there, Is Carlos still in town, run him out there. LOL

And when is he going to play? Hard to upgrade a position you have trouble getting better guys into already.

We have 4 outfielders now we're struggling to keep in the lineup, and the IF is covered, so when is he going to play?

career way better than worth in many stats..ops slugging average and obp...not even close..raybum is on par with him in career numbers...but raybum is also not playing anywhere close to those numbers at all THIS year...true on national league..like i said..its not a super exciting move...but still an upgrade nonetheless on paper for this season.

 

[manchild98]

Max has given up a team high 20 home runs this year.
