Mariners acquire Jorge Polanco from the Twins!!!!!

[Pharmabro]

This one is a head scratcher. The M's get inf/outfielder Samad Taylor from the Royals for cash or player to be named later.

Have to admit I've never heard of this guy. With a -0.2 WAR, I don't image this is a headline deal.

Vanessa Hudgen's future boyfriend! lol

Nice year in AAA with almost a .900 OPS and 43 SBs. Good depth piece....

That is 100% true. He has 98 percentile sprint speed and is an optionable Dylan Moore - Sam Haggerty - Jose C. type of guy that has options.

You're a retard.

At least I was smarter than you about Eduardo Rodriguez opting out.

Yes, congratulations, he got an extra $3M per year!

Looking forward to those 37.5 HR's!

You're wrong from time to time like the rest of us. Eduardo, Joey Bats, etc.

No doubt about that. Have never claimed to be infallible!

I say my opinions on many things, they don't ALL work out.

In the end I didn't think Rodriguez will be worth 4/$80M. We'll see how that turns out.

They had an open spot. Yep, he's played a lot of 2B in the minors.

Yeah, but that wasn't really the subject. It was whether the Tigers were going to need pitching.

It wasn't a prediction, it was a recap of what he did. It's like showing JRod's Baseball Reference Splits. It's not unlike people showing Dylan Moore's stats per 600 PA.

Oh, I thought you said we had found our MOTO hitter because of it?

So, you're not saying he'll do that, you're just saying he deserves to bat third in the MOTO because he did it?

I was just going by the Fangraphs lineup order, they could be wrong.

He did it, so he PROBABLY can be one of the MOTO bats in this lineup. I'm giving stats, like people giving stats about Dylan Moore speaking to his past production per 600 PA.

I'm not sure about putting JRod in the 3 slot either, with him having added pressure to drive in runs. Polanco is more of a veteran. If the team is slumping, and JRod is batting 3rd, he would be pressed to carry the team on his back.

So we shouldn't count on more than the 26 HR per year that his previous three seasons actually suggest he's capable of then, despite your flawed analysis, got it.

That's 20 HR in T-Mobile as his Home park. A 6 batter.
