Oh yeah, one of them is a SS. it's not that it "doesn't count," posty's point was that gregorius only had an edge in 2 of 9 offensive categories with, one being predictable based on position in the line-up. and i agree the gregorius has been clutch, while betts has consistently set the tone for the bosox.

posty 2,848 Posted May 2, 2018 From the NL side of things, I still can't figure out how Pollock won player of the month... Was it because of his three HR game the last day of the month? Yes the D'backs are playing over .700 ball and are up 5+ games in the NL West, but it just doesn't look right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. I would take a healthy Eaton and Rendon playing at 85% of career numbers, Taylor and Zim hitting .250. Adams is the surprise so far, lock him into the lineup and he'll hit 25 homers. I don't understand why he's a journeyman. He has hit every year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,774 Posted May 3, 2018 He is really having a good season. Longoria, mccutchen, posey, pence "should" be providing enough run support, but we still see a lot of 0s, and 1s. Thought if they could remain competitive until bum and samardizja come back they would be fine. so... while floating around .500 and an aggressive timeline of June for madbum, cueto goes on dl with 3w, 26k, .84 era, .69 whip.

posty 2,848 Posted May 3, 2018 Ichiro Suzuki Moves To Front Office Role, Will Not Continue Playing In 2018 https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2018/05/ichiro-suzuki-retire-mariners-front-office.html The Mariners announced today that future Hall of Famer Ichiro Suzuki has is moving to a front office role where he’ll serve as a special assistant to the chairman, effective immediately. While the Mariners’ release does not formally declare that Ichiro is retiring, the new role precludes him from returning to the active roster in 2018, per the team. The Mariners have selected the contract of right-handed reliever Erik Goeddel from Triple-A Tacoma to take Ichiro’s spot on the 40-man and 25-man rosters. “We want to make sure we capture all of the value that Ichiro brings to this team off the field,” GM Jerry Dipoto said in a press release. “This new role is a way to accomplish that. While it will evolve over time, the key is that Ichiro’s presence in our clubhouse and with our players and staff improves our opportunity to win games. That is our number-one priority and Ichiro’s number-one priority.” Dipoto goes on to add that the Mariners hope to retain Ichiro in some capacity into the 2019 season and beyond, noting that the remainder of the current season will “inform the team and Ichiro on his best fit” with the organization moving forward, though Ichiro’s agent, John Boggs, tells Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic that his client is not yet retiring as a player (Twitter link). “He is not retiring,” says Boggs. “He’s taking on a different role for 2018, and 2019 has yet to evolve.” Asked by Rosenthal if Ichiro could potentially return to make an appearance next year, when the Mariners and A’s will kick off the 2019 season in Tokyo, Boggs replied: “There is always that possibility. … The future has yet to be determined.” More to come.
