Looks like IBC Lindor will be getting a shot at starting before real life Lindor. His ZiPS aren't terribly far off from Iglesias, so the loss shouldn't be too noticeable.

AVG/OBP/SLG, wOBA, wRC+, BsR, Off, Def, WAR
Lindor: .245/.307/.329, .284, 80, -0.3, -12.8, 9.5, 1.6
Iglesias: .265/.311/.336, .289, 77, -0.2, -13.5, 13.0, 1.8

Welcome back Ehire Adrianza. He will be backing up Francisco Lindor at SS.

This is bullshit. I protest that series due to inadequate housing accommodations being provided while the Orioles were visiting Detroit.

What are you talking about? That's our finest hotel!
It's sad when you search google images for "detroit" and the second option is "slums" https://www.google.com/search?q=detroit ... 66&bih=643

Sorry about the duplicative post...how come you can't edit posts on other people's blogs?

Try google image searching "Detroit". All that comes up are ruins.

When I moved to Detroit, I told people I was coming from St. Louis, so pretty much they all said, "Oh, well you're used to cities like this, you'll be fine." As much urban decay as St. Louis has... it's nothing like this. I used to joke that they should evacuate Detroit and carpet bomb the whole place and start over... but I'm starting to think that would be a good idea. 2000 years from now, people will be telling cautionary tales to their kids about the old ruins of Detroit.

Updated roster following the BAL-NYY blockbuster and the 3-team deal with PIT and DET.

Essentially I traded away Anthony Rendon, Francisco Lindor, Masahiro Tanaka, Michael Pineda, Domonic Brown, Norichika Aoki, Yonder Alonso, Aaron Judge for Jason Heyward, Matt Kemp, Chris Davis, Brad Miller, Zach Greinke, Rafael Soriano, Dorssys Paulino

I'm probably forgetting some names...

Pretty much sold away almost all my young talent to get me into contention. I should have an outside shot at grabbing a Wild Card spot, but even if I fall short, I'm confident this team will play well next year.

Thank you sir. I told Pat and JP that if I finish the season with a team OPS below .650, I will never play DMB again and will eat my Prince Fielder jersey... so hopefully this helps me avoid having to do that.
