    The best use of Swihart's skillset is at C as most C's can't hit very well. If he can be a serviceable C with a .850 bat, you'd be crazy to move him off the position.
  2. mvp 78
    Fueled by a really hot August against terrible pitching.
  3. mvp 78
    Swihart had a .931 OPS during August of 2015. HE COULD EASILY BE A TOP TEN BASEBALLER IN 2017!!! http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/sort/OPS/order/true
  4. mvp 78
    And when he was super duper comfortable in September and October of that year, he was back down to 726. Small arbitrary sample sizes are fun!
  5. mvp 78
    This is one of the dumbest things ever written on here (AND I SHOULD KNOW).
  6. mvp 78
    He needs to spend time developing in Pawtucket. Having him sit on the bench or moving him to a new position is NOT the best use of his talent.
  7. mvp 78
    It's more logical than pie in the sky like dreaming that he'll hit better than he ever has before in his lifetime.
  8. mvp 78
    You would expect his OPS to be higher than his Minor League numbers AFTER a year spent on the DL?
  9. mvp 78
    Just no.
  10. mvp 78
    Well, his OPS in 2015 was only .711. It's also not unrealistic to think that he wouldn't hit close to .783 after missing a full season due to injury.
  11. mvp 78
    His bat is ready to be a C, not a 3B or LF.
  12. mvp 78
    If Pablo struggles, Holt can play 3B for a while. Watch and see if Travis plays any 3B during ST.
  13. mvp 78
    I do that at every game no matter what anyway.

    http://www.cardboardconnection.com/why-sports-cards-early-90s-worthless This is an ok read about why all those late 80's/early 90's cards aren't worth anything. I still pick up a pack of 1987 Topps every once in a while for the nostalgia. In a few weeks I'll get the itch to buy a bunch of packs of the new Topps Heritage set, but I'll probably never get around to collecting a complete set ever again.
  15. mvp 78
    Swihart should play catcher for all of 2017 in Pawtucket. If it doesn't work out, move him next offseason.
  16. mvp 78
    He's the next Kevin Maas.
  17. mvp 78
    Yup, not every bunt is meant to be an automatic out. A drag bunt to beat the shift is just as meaningful as a bouncer up the middle.
  18. mvp 78
    The WBC is dumb and I haven't watched an inning since the first WBC. If players want to play, fine. It's no different than playing in a winter league, imo.
  19. mvp 78
    Abad walks first batter = DFA.
  20. mvp 78
    Yup. I agree. His offense is good for a C, s*** for LF.
  21. mvp 78
    How would he beat out Young? Young is a good defender and a great platoon guy. So far, Swihart gets injured in the OF after a few games and is a mediocre hitter at best.
  22. mvp 78
    Beni > Sanchez
  23. mvp 78
    Swihart really IMPACTED that baseball there.
  24. mvp 78
    Enjoy 3 innings of MLB guys and 6 innings of the next group of potential Pedro Ciriacos.
  25. mvp 78
    Wrong!
