@PawSox Brock Holt is batting .345 (10-for-29) and leads the @RedSox with a .472 OBP. Holt has also only struck out twice this spring.
-
For him, it works. I don't think every hitter is the same. I don't believe you can just plug a guy into an equation and say it would work out. I think Xander would benefit at being more aggressive. For Pedey, it kinda works? His best season was in 2008 when he swang at 15%. The following year, he went down to 7% and never hit 15% gain until last year. His other great season, 2011, was the highest % from 09-14.

Is JD more fragile than Hanley?
-
Pedroia had a career high swinging at the first pitch % last year! A whopping 15.1!
-
Would Moreland, JD, Swihart and Travis been all that much worse than now?
-
https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/greenmi01-bat.shtml We don't want them swinging like Gator (46% swinging at the 1st pitch in 96!!!), but Xander swung at a career low 11.8% first pitches last year (previous low was 17.9).
-
That's all we're really asking for, right? I'll even allow some stupid triple plays and JBJ getting doubled up for no reason a few times if they just don't drop their bats before the pitch is even thrown.
-
It would be good for Xander, Betts and Pedey who all swing well under league average at the first pitch.

The only change you need to do to add a poll to a new thread: before clicking submit, scroll down to additional options, check the box to add a poll and change the number if you want more or less than 4 poll options after clicking submit, you'll be brought to another screen where you can fill out the poll Easy peasy.
-
You know, if we didn't sign Moreland, Cobb, Holt, Xander, JBJ and let Hanley's option vest we coulda signed Machado and Harper!
-
Why doesn't this have a poll option?
-
Yankees are s***
-
97: the amount of excuses wacko jacko will make when the Yankees are in third place
-
Your lack of polling is disturbing.
-
If he goes over PA's, I won't blame Cora. He needs to use the roster he has been given.
-
I wouldn't rush ERod back at all. I'd rather him sit in extended spring training and get his arm ready for 100+ pitches and have him at 100% before bringing him back. It's a long season and ERod has a substantial injury history.
-
@PeteAbe A little more clarity on the #RedSox rotation from Cora: Johnson likely will pitch Game 5. Wright is 50-50 for Game 4, Rodriguez less than 50 percent, Pomeranz unlikely at this point. They want to give Wright and E-Rod a shot at it. Otherwise it’s Velasquez.
-
Sox are going Back to Back to Back. Yanks will probably end up in 3rd place.
-
I think Holt has more value to an NL team than Marrero due to his versatility. We'll have to see what happens though.
-
And that's why I wouldn't let him reach his PA goal.
-
Monthly stats are more deceiving when your starting points are exactly the first and last of a month.
-
Agreed. The only reason I track the stats that way is to show how hot he gets over a period of 30 days or so. If he OPS'd about 800, no one would complain about him.

JBJ is good for one great month. 2015: 5/10 - 8/8 146 BABIP and 426 OPS 8/9 - 9/7 577 BABIP and 1441 OPS 9/8 - 10/4 173 BABIP and 510 OPS 2016: 4/5 - 5/4 348 BABIP and 792 OPS 5/5 - 5/30 400 BABIP and 1232 OPS 6/1 - 9/30 289 BABIP and 765 OPS 2017: April - May: BABIP 220 OPS 669 May 30th - July 4th: BABIP 412 OPS 1029 July 5th - Sept: BABIP 263 OPS 598

He's a former AS with great hair who can play 8 positions! That's totally worth $2M.
-
That doesn't sound like something I'd say!!!
