Wondering how much longer I should hold on to Miguel Sano.

[Southpaw19]

Wondering how much longer I should hold on to Miguel Sano.

Wasn't he just called back up from the minors?

I kinda got stuck with him. I had to make two moves early in the first hals, and then he got sent down. Had to make a move right after the ASB, and didn't want to burn both so early. So I hope he's back and hits a few in the next two months.

[Sammy Sofa]

Damn; the Cubs' depressed dong output has infected my team.

[Derwood]

I don't care how bad my team is as long as I beat Ding Dong Johnson

[PackLandVA]

Drop Miguel Sano (MIN)*

Add Jose Ramirez (CLE)


*I'm super glad I kept him the entire time he was in the minors. And now that he's back and actually hitting dingers, it's time to jettison him for Ramirez.

Last move of second half.
