Phillies at Astros 4/28/23

Poop on this game.

Now it is.

They DFA’d him and nobody claimed him, iirc, so he’s not on the 40-man roster anymore.

I’m content to wait until Chas-Brantley-Altuve are back.

But the man at 1B has got to pick it up soon.

I’m well aware that I’m the only person other than maybe his mother who thinks he can hit. But I do think so.

Guys like JJ and Julks (and there’s always others around MLB) who have great success in AAA but are pretty blocked at MLB…they’re available to all these shit teams, and I can’t understand why a Rockies or a KC or and A’s wouldn’t just take a chance and give the guy a couple of hundred ABs…worst case scenerio you cut them, best case scenerio you get to keep them or trade them at the deadline

I was surprised that no one took a flyer on JJ. But I did not fail to notice that no one did.

But, as you point out, there are quite a few guys like him hanging around in triple A.

There’s a lot guys and only 30 forty-man-rosters.
