Holy crap, it's amazing the stuff you will find in the bottom of a dumpster.

After a fire.

That's not even dumpster diving. That's digging underground in the actual dump.

I wasn't sure it was possible, but I think they may have hit a new low with this one. Dear God.

They just picked up this guy on waivers: https://www.baseball-reference.com/regi ... stro000mil

Here's the MLBTR link: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/01/ ... aposo.html

He's a bit older, but he's a lefty bat and his profile says he plays all over the field, which makes him kind of interesting. Maybe a late bloomer utility/bench guy?

Holy shit, yeah if he can just get the at .225 SLG% up to .250 we will be in business. LOL Please tell me your post was satire.

It's relative to Nick Raposo isn't it, who you rather be on the 40

Like asking me if I would rather have sex with a rock or a crow bar.

In 2010 Yovanny Gallardo, I am sure you remember the former Mariner pitcher, hit .254 in 79 PAs. That is 29 points higher than this joker's SLG%.

.760 OPS in the minors for his career, must be a defense-first guy... huzzah!

Andrew Romine who played in 79 games in 2018 for us and had 2 RBIs had a .504 OPS. This guy had a .470 OPS last season. lol

No. He looks like a fairly typical AAAA guy to me. Decent minor league numbers, but hasn't hit much in the majors. I'd rather they pick up guys like this than these bat-first career minor leaguers that can maybe play first base and can't do a single other thing at the major league level, which typically includes not being able to hit (Mike Ford being the exception). And so, yes, I found this claim slightly more interesting than the typical transaction of this type.

But more than likely I posted about it because I was bored.

mass-troh-BOH-nee, a scintillating side dish, usually served with gluten-free, plant-based, Solano pasta.
Never to be served with roki sasaki, which is far too rich for Mariner tastes.

Pass me some more Solano, please.

Hope he's a 54% kind of guy.
