Never realized Biggio is taller than Reggie Jackson. I'd always assumed Reggie was 6' -6'1"

He's in the twins org now. Batting under 0.240 in the minors. He's a glorified seat filler at this point.

Y'all ready for this one?

Dirden is 2016 Tyler White all over again.


If he fights his way onto the roster can we call him Tyler Durden?

From an article of Eye Popping Numbers So Far

Jose Abreu, 1B, Astros: 112.1 mph, 437-foot HR

Abreu's first home run with his new team this spring was a rocket off Adam Wainwright. At 112.1 mph off the bat, it was harder than any home run the veteran Abreu hit all of last season, and harder than any home run hit by an Astros player not named "Yordan Alvarez." In fact, Abreu's homer was hit harder than any home run by an Astros first baseman since Statcast started tracking in 2015.

Dirden is 6'3" 209lbs. How is that big bodied?


Well, I'm 6'1 175, so to me, 6'3 and roughly 222 now is big bodied

I was surprised by that too. Also the way Rogers melon head makes those look like childrens shades and Baggy's Popeye forearms with veins the size of a garden hose.

He OPSed .900 for AAA Buffalo in 2021 which is about par for his career at that level.

His problem is that he ate his way out of being a guy who could play multiple positions. Someone would give him a shot if he could still be a utility guy. Marwin (who just signed in Japan btw) hasn't hit isht since the cans stopped banging and he's gotten a bunch of chances with good teams just because of his versatility. We're the best team in baseball and look at some of the guys we trot out there.

It's sad that lack of ability to lay off a cheeseburger probably cost White a decent MLB career as a utility guy.
