Onto which distant planet should Kranick be deposited? 

He's utterly useless.  35 pitches to get through one inning, can't keep a clean inning (scored upon in most of his appearances), can't provide any length.

He should be DFA’d. Let him throw meatballs elsewhere
My guess is he's gone when the Nats call up Kent

Call up Glasser. Glasser doesn't hit homers, but he has a .750 OPS at Rochester, and he hits left-handed, and he can field.

Can they call up anyone who can give them multiple innings, even if they suck? If you're going to lose anyway, might as well save Ribalta.  He almost certainly pitched today because Kranick couldn't give them 2 innings.

Williams and Dion looked good the other day.

Kranick just isn't even a "just a guy" at this point. Waive him and give him the option of being assigned  toRochester

Crews had a .777 OPS in Rochester this year...not so much in the Bigs...and Glasser has reverse splits so he doesn't hit righties as well as lefties...

Tena and House are the same player...neither one of them can hit righties...

.236/.308/.685 in 2026

.237/.290/.691 in 2026

Take your pick...

At least House has an upside ?

I guess...he's 2 years younger...and while neither is much of a 3rd baseman, he's the worst of the lot...

Throw Vivas in there at .242/.332/.662 and we have 3 nearly identical players, though Vivas and Tena offer some positional flexibility...
