[spidernat]

Grace had better wake the F up if he expects a playoff spot.

this might be his final outing of 2017

Doolittle warming up, WTH?

[bluestreak]

Zim's war numbers are so much lower than Rendon.  Zimmerman's offensive numbers look arguably a little better.  Is that all because of fielding position?

Rendon plays elite 3rd base, and elite position. Zim plays a poor 1st base, which is not. Rendon also gets on base way more (.403 vs .351)
And total offensive production goes to Rendon: wRc+ 141 for Rendon and 131 for Zim (100 is average)
