Bautista's tour of the NL East continues.

Assuming this goes through, has one player ever suited up for three teams in the same division, in the same season?

Hes not worth a prospect at this rate. He wasnt horrible on the Mets but hes a shell of the guy from last year even.

He's been way better this year vs last year. Positive WAR and a 100 wRC+ vs 80.

I'm talking about his power. I'm not into the tech nerd stats. I'm not giving up a prospect for a guy on the back end of his career for a month rental. What is the current Bautista going to bring that isn't already a part of this Phillies team's style of play? One player won't make or break their defensive woes.

Presumably to play first base, right?

Rent-a-Player. (And I saw Rent-a-Bird in Final Fantasy XV (FFXV)).

Hey pal, did you get a load of the nerd?

The Phillies add another bad defensive player. Not sure I get this.

His ISO is up this year compared to last.

The Phillies also aren’t giving up a real prospect, but either cash or a PTBNL. I don’t think you’re responding to a guy who gets concerned about whether his opinions directly contradict facts though.

Phillies collecting all the players in the NL East with the initials "JB" .

Oh I know I'm not but I still like laughing when he's wrong

ISO? Didn’t he just say get outta here with that nerd shit? Math is for loser nerds like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.

So he's hitting .196, sure, enjoy that, 11 homers and 42 RBI's.

Facts, he has a BA under .200, who else outside of a pitcher this year qualifies for that?

Stat don't win games, players do, all this tech is, is they want to be able to eliminate positions within organizations.

“I’m talking about his power.”

“His batting average is low.”

 

[Cheese Wagstaff]

No one actually thinks Bautista is a big time difference maker, but the rosters expand in four days and when they do Joey can be a right handed pinch hitter for the last month for a time in a tight race. Seriously, the bar for a bench player you acquire on August 28 is so remarkably low. Considering they got him for basically nothing it’s a fine move. Or maybe I’m just a f***ing nerd because I spent four seconds thinking about how a guy would fit into a roster before going online to call a trade bad.

 

[Bob Richards]

Jose's start with the Mets was very good but he's been tip-toeing above a .600 OPS for two months now.

Since he is now a Phillie I hope that trend continues

They are playing themselves out of being in the playoffs, with that D they were never a contender, it's a miracle they are 9 above .500

Not what I imagine "moving the goalposts" would be...

Is tech nerd sort of like techno Viking?
