Totally not Omar Infante's agent

Should we read anything into the Royals dropping from 1 game back to 7 games back of first after they DFAed Omar Infante?

HE WAS THE HEART OF THE ROYALS AND YOU STATDOUCHES RIPPED IT OUT

The AL West has 3 teams with a snowball's chance. Who has the biggest snowball?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:20
Rangers. Possession is 9/10 of the divisional lead.

Texas Rangers will trade Joey Gallo this season ? Too good for the AAA.
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:20
I do not believe so

Bregman has to be called up soon though, correct?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:20
I think so

C. Davis hit an oppo bomb this weekend and it looked like he exerted some effort. Where does he rank for you in easiest looking home run swings?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:21
He's certainly up there
Mickey Tettleton's always looked most effortless
And he was helped by that ridiculously indifferent-looking stance
Every pitch, Mickey looked like he was about to doze off and then some trigger went off in his head going WAKE UP ITS BASEBALL TIME BRAH

Is Josh Bell going to stay up or was this the taster before September?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:23
I suspect that this is an amuse-bouche but the Pirates wouldn't mind if he forced their hand.

Who has a better second half, Kyle Seager or Jake Lamb?
AvatarDan Szymborski

Seager

Assuming Danny Valencia is moved at the deadline, will Ryon Healy's good numbers in AA/AAA this year translate well as a replacement at 3B ROS?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:24
No, Valencia's really hitting well

Avi Garcia has an RC+ of 70 heading into the All-Star break, primarily as a DH. It seems inexcusable that a front office trying to contend continues to allow such trash to tarnish a potentially competitive team.

Which #4 starter do the Orioles inevitably trade for?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:24
I think it'll be a quiet trade deadline

Nice to see him get some recognition, even if he was a substitute, is Yandy Diaz a future regular?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:25
I'm skeptical. The walk-heavy guys don't tend to translate to majors super well
12:26
I PLEADED this to get you guys less excited about Tyler White, but none of you believe me

Is there anything to be worried about with Arrieta? What do you think has been his problems of late?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:27
Honeslty, I'm not overly concerned
Colin

Can Mike Foltynewicz stick in the rotation or will his difficulties against lefties banish him to the pen forever?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:28
I don't think the platoon splits are really an established long-term issue yet
Never go nuts over short term splits

This might be a bit obscure, but for a guy like Harrison Bader, Florida guy taken in 2015 and just promoted to AAA, does he get a pass on his poor plate discipline numbers because of the huge increase in opposition talent that he's faced over the past year, or do you think that's gonna be a big problem for him down the road?
AvatarDan Szymborski
12:29
The thing is, there's no easy answer for this kind of thing.
I generally think that players hitting well but with poor plate discipline ought to be promoted.
