I think this is a good thing. Now that Dirks is hitting after battling that knee problem all April if Avisail hits then we have 3 capable OF's in left and right when Austin comes back.
We will give you Gregg if you take Marmol
Avisail plays center, as does Dirks. Avisail is going to be a RF so maybe they do move Hunter to CF but IMO Garcia will play center while AJAX is out.

Only slightly. Giving this unique shout-out to a guy hitting 0.212 who went deep off Houston of all teams is pretty shticky. But then I'm assuming at this point the entire teamramrod is just someone ####### with all of us at this point.Better than Bruce Rondon is in AAA?teamramrod said:

Old Max would have been gone by the 4th. I'm sure he'll do better when he pitchers against the AL Central team with a -2 position player WAR.Been almost a year since you've stopped by to say this.
One foot higher or one foot closer to the RF foul pole and they win 8-7. I thought he had it...
Houston is extremely unbeatable at home on Opening Night in front of the only sellout they will have for the season.
Dang. I was wondering how close that was when I saw the flyout to end the game. Max again giving up the big hits, which offsets his excellent WHIP. Bullpen 'fail' again. Dang.
As Rod Allen said..that was a HR in any other MLB park. Needed one more foot in Comerica though.
Seeing the tape ...more like 5 feet, but the point stands. The way Cabrera was watching instead of running, it's a good thing the CF didn't misplay the ball. Cabrera might have been stuck at first when he probably could have gotten to third on a misplay.Da Guru said:
Bases were loaded, he could have stood at first as long as the three runners scored.
he seems like he has good stuff, but not enough control over it. something mental perhaps?
Just raw, Villarreal is mental. He has been pretty good since being sent down though with 14 Ks and 5 BB in 9 IP. Rondon is pretty much dominating but all three of those guys have to control walks. They are the three best bullpen arms we have and they walk the leadoff batter and go to 2-0 counts way too often.
Still at .212 after that 40 pitch at bat vs Yu that ended in a sac fly.Only slightly. Giving this unique shout-out to a guy hitting 0.212 who went deep off Houston of all teams is pretty shticky.Better than Bruce Rondon is in AAA?
Weird game, last night a "pitcher's duel" produced 11 runs in three innings and tonight Porky and Tepesch shut everybody down.
I agree...I thought Valverdes stuff was very good last night. Hitting 95 with the fastball and 84 with the splitter. If he can keep the walks down he should be fine.Every time he threw an off-speed pitch the hitter were way out in front. Infante did make a very nice play or it could have been interesting.Great job Porcello, I never doubted you.
Valverde's stuff looks as good as it did three years ago. Mid 90s fastball with tailing action and tonight he threw four splitters which tells me he'll be able to throw it when it's warm. The only reason Cleveland got to him was because he walked the leadoff guy and he walked Soto (worst hitter in the series but killing us) tonight. He's gotta stop doing that although wild Valverde is not a horrible thing. I'd rather he threw one in the stands though instead of walking .200 hitters.
Good to see the splitter back. Could not believe they were sending him out there with just one pitch for a while.I agree...I thought Valverdes stuff was very good last night.

I called it an attack, didn't I?
