Still valuable. He’s worth three to four marginal wins per season at that rate, which certainly rates a roster spot. When he’s not playing, he’s opening up the DH spot, which can be used for a variety of good purposes. It is, in a way, less problematic to have a part-time player at DH than at any other spot.

You do run a risk of choosing a theater that is very dark. Once the lights are off, that transition from outside to inside can be rough and make you look like a douchebag trying to get your eyes to adjust to even see what seats are empty. The latter half might just be me.

Could be they’ll just keep promoting him until the hitters can catch onto him again. I mean, it’s possible that May Fausto could’ve taken out Sally League hitters, too.
by fleerdon on Jun 30, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would guess the biggest concern isn’t Fausto getting hit, but rather his control and confidence. His walks are down (granted, only 2 starts, in the minors). His confidence and body language I can’t speak for, of course.
