What about signing Murakami, any thoughts on that? Or just move one of Polanco or Young over. Either way I don't think Geno is back next year.

This whole win streak I've been on a vacation in a faraway land without good enough internet to watch or listen to games, but good enough to follow online.
I'll be here in Uganda another 4 days. If the streak continues, I'll consider postponing my return for the good of the team.

I want Murakami.
There is no reason why they can't make him an M.

.604 OPS for a 3B is pathetic.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Sun Sep 14, 2025 11:51 pmYou keep bringing up minor league numbers, I'm perfectly Happy to stick to major league numbers. Seemed to me he showed pretty good bat to ball skills

Young doesn't have the arm to play 3B, they already tried Polanco at 3B and that was a fail that led to BW being promoted. Murakami is an option if Jerry lifts the ban on Japanese players that he imposed after the Kikuchi $43M money flush nightmare .HawkandMariner88 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 15, 2025 5:20 amWhat about signing Murakami, any thoughts on that?

Was gonna say, you better stay away. I stopped watching and they won two on the road. Haven't watched since....so you guys are welcome. Of course? I really didn't watch much anyway. But I promise you they lose way more than they win when I watch!Millikin wrote: ↑Mon Sep 15, 2025 2:48 pmThis whole win streak I've been on a vacation in a faraway land without good enough internet to watch or listen to games, but good enough to follow online.

Re: Broom, please & Fat Lady Singing~no E witches here~GT~9.14.25
I believe the thinking that certain positions are required to produce a certain ops is getting to be a dinosaur. I was going to say the only position left where it might apply is first base but that's changing too. You got Arráez there now with a .707 ops. One can argue a .604 ops is pathetic period but where it plays I think has gotten less important. You have four infield positions. I think the combination of defense and offense terms of a players value applies pretty equally across them these days
Re: Broom, please & Fat Lady Singing~no E witches here~GT~9.14.25
BR massively over values defense. 0.3 fWAR FG should always be used for position players. He had almost 300 PAs so that is a 0.6 fWAR pace.
