All that for Mike Mikulski and some cash.

---

The other way around. We're getting the production and cash for Mikey.

I'd like to pay the Red Sox back for last weekend with a sweep of our own.

If he can cut down on the strike outs and keep the slug going I think he will end up with respectable stats by the end of the year. His lack of power has been the big surprise for me this year. We knew he wouldn't be a high batting average guy, but only having 16 home runs is a bit of a shock. I really thought he would be a 30 home run guy.

Compared to Abreu he's been Frank Thomas lately.

Yes...Rejuvenated CC has been great!

I think we're gonna see that Carlos is not at his best when he's on a crappy team he's not interested in.

Just being being back with us and thrown into a division race along with his new position I think he's gonna end up being back to that AS/MVP caliber player that MIN thought they were getting when they signed him.

He is projected to have 87 rbis
Abreau's first year with us he had 90

2023 Abreu
.237 BA
.296 OBP
.383 SLG
.680 OPS
86 wRC+

2025 Walker
.238 BA
.302 OBP
.400 SLG
.702 OPS
95 wRC+

They have been similar, but Walker has been better and is trending the right way. If you compare Abreu thru this point in the season, Walker has been much better.

2023 Abreu thru Aug 10
.234 BA
.291 OBP
.343 SLG
.634 OPS
74 wRC+

The Milwaukee Brewers are now an insane 23-4 since adding Andrew Vaughn to the roster.
Vaughn is slashing: /342/.412/.629/1.041 with 7 homers and 28 RBI.

The atmosphere in MMP tonight is gonna be electric!

CC goes yard in his return and sets the tone for an El Reptil W.

Those 4 game series against Baltimore and LAA are tricky. Really need to go at least 3-1 in those. Splits don't do us much good

Vaughn is a guy the Astros have had interest in in the past

Tough break for Javier. First game back and you're up against one of the best arms in the league (Crochet) and facing a lineup that has several tough lefties.

You missed the word "lately" on my post. Project out his numbers based on his last month.

Need the rangerettes to go in free fall considering we've got 6 games left with them.

You are trying to hard.
I really like Walker. He is playing well. I hope it continues.

He is probably going to look like a new prospect the first time he faces a major league breaking pitch with as long as he has been off not swinging a bat.

Mrs. Marvin and I will be in 106.

I'm hoping we sweep the rangers in Sept at home, making the last games (including the seamen) pointless; we have the division then. The only reason we keep it up is to get or maintain the #1 or #2 seed.

How stupid is it that Yordan has played 29 games this season?

Not as stupid as the lack of progress towards a solution. Or information regarding a solution. Or information in general.

We are going to find out in November that he's having surgery and will be out next season until May.

wait till we see the end of this whole "Paredes is going to rehab the injury instead of having surgery" story

spoiler : he will have surgery in like March

For a little fun today, who is this?

I'm sure Farmer will get it in about .3 ms.

So who gets more emotional...Carlos during his first AB when the place loses its mind or Alex during the pregame celebration

Yainer?

That is funny, I was thinking the opposite. With Correa, it's not the end of the world if he's not ready to start 2025 because we have the corners locked down with Correa and Walker. But the benefit of getting another big bat for October outweighs 1st half Paredes in 2026.

My first thought was Yainer as well, but then I remembered his astronomically terrible start to the season, where he was batting like .130 lol. So I knew that couldn't be him

A slightly slower start, but a similar-shaped graph.
