    Yainer's DH Slash Line
    0.208/0.226/0.366
    I expect a lot of this is small sample, but some guys can't handle batting when not playing in the field.

    DH today, but that should be extremely rare.

    He was like our secret weapon against the Rangers, heh. Not for a lot of innings, but he came through.

    The guy that gets Julks off the roster so Dusty can't overplay him.

    How many "can only play 1B or DH guys can you carry on a team"?

    Especially when one of them is just a "test"?

    The answer is "one", if you were wondering.

    I think I'd find a more useful player, but you're not wrong.

    Man it's aggravating we haven't gotten to this guy with how bad his command has been.

    He's played some OF too if I'm not mistaken. I don't keep up with the minors like a lot of the fans.

    I think they have to be wanting to keep them off the 40-man roster until next season when they'd by Rule 5 eligible. If so, it says they don't expect a major upgrade from either joining the team over Julks.
