Moon must be tippin them back

 

I was just answering the question.

 

Of course, I'd rather have Beni than Holt in LF, but the choice is this...

 

Beni LF- Johnson 5th starter

Holt LF- Much better pitcher as 3rd or 4th starter.

 

I'm not trading Beni for a scrub.

I would trade Beni for him.

 

I wouldn't. Renfroe is three years older, and is a homer or strikeout player. His career OBP is under .300. If he's not hitting homers, he is striking out, a lot.

Moon I know.

2 out pitching after 33 pitches: 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 on a walk. Wright is still getting into pitching shape. You go beyond 25 pitches and all bad things happen

Benny goes for starter only not a 240 power hitter .s*** we could get Hunter for a couple minor leaguers not Casas types either .

So is Beni, less the HR component.

Agreed, Even for a knuckler.

Yes, but if you trade Beni, you are creating a big hole in the OF/2B. Holt has proven he can't stay healthy over the course of the season. If Holt gets hurt again, that means we get two black holes at 2B and LF, is that worth doing? I'm not sure. Beni is good, he's just going through a rough patch, he's only 24.

I’d be shocked if Wright comes back for the 4th. His knuckles was just begging to be hit. He’s lucky he ran into Sanchez twice who cannot hit the pitch

 

Why ??? Guys cruising. I would let him pitch as far as we can .

We don't have prospects for Renfroe. He is relatively young, under team control for 4 more seasons and numerous teams are interested. This isn't going to be a guy you get cheap.

How many rough patches does this team need to survive this year ? It looks like we broke through JBJr's, but now we have Beni, betts and JDM ( to a degree), Sale, Barnes, orcello, Brasier. Getting weary of watching the rough spots.

Beni at least draws walks and usually hits for average, Renfroe literally only homers or K's. Renfroe has 79 career walks in 4 seasons. Beni walked 71 times in one season a lot. Renfroe has career average of .245 and OBP of .299. He hits for a lot of power, but I wouldn't give up Beni for him.
