I wanna see Baker play .
Baker had a great preseason . I want to see Baker get a chance even as DH . He has power and can hit those long home runs. Who wants to see this guy get a chance ? Burleson didnt hit all preseason and he isn't hitting now. How long do you all think it will take before a move to Baker happens at DH ?

You'll see him tomorrow versus LH Tyler Anderson.Freedomfromtyranny wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 12:47 pm Baker had a great preseason . I want to see Baker get a chance even as DH .

Also a LH starter Wednesday although more likely they start Pages(day game after a night game) and DH Herrera.
Long long season.

Do I want to see a 28 year old first baseman/DH who has hit .198/.304/.341/.645 in a 148 major league plate appearances or do I want to see a 26-year-old first basemen/outfielder/DH who has hit .255/.306/.400/.706 in 1,003 major leagued plate appearances.
I dunno. It's not really much of a "yearn for" selection. I'd rather have a sandwich.

Re: I wanna see Baker play .
You’ll see him enough vs the Angels. We face 2 LHP’s in that 3 game set, so I suspect you see him start Monday and Wednesday. And I think we face 1 LHP in Boston next weekend, so 3 times over the next week. That’s a good amount for a guy like Baker.Freedomfromtyranny wrote: ↑30 Mar 2025 12:47 pm Baker had a great preseason . I want to see Baker get a chance even as DH .
