    MLBTR... Shepherd, 26, has struggled through a brutal start to his 2019 campaign, pitching to a 10.01 ERA through 29 2/3 inning of Triple-A ball. He’s yielded a staggering 53 hits in that time, including 11 home runs, issued 16 walks and also been tagged for another 10 unearned runs.

    Some 2019 MLB Catcher Tidbits: Only 3 catchers have more PAs AND a higher OPS than Vaz at .838 (112 PAs). Leon is ranked 37th in catcher OPS (.627) out of 61 catchers with 30+ PAs. Swihart is ranked 31st at .712. Team catcher OPS: 1.017 Cubs .991 MN .880 SEA .839 CWS .799 NYY .797 LAA .774 BOS (7th)

    We'll see how he looks by September, but yes, if we want him on the ML club, there are plenty of DFA options available to make room for him. He'll need to be added for Rule 5 later in the fall, so there's that to think about. FYI: Other Rule 5 guys: Juan Carlos Abreu Christopher Acosta Fabian Andrade Yoan Aybar Roldani Baldwin Eduard Bazardo Gary Calvo Marino Campana Pedro Castellanos Rusney Castillo CJ Chatham Jake Cosart Ricardo Cubillan Bobby Dalbec Enmanuel De Jesus Chad De La Guerra Jhonathan Diaz Jerry Downs Devon Fisher Matthew Gorst Kyle Hart Trevor Kelley Trenton Kemp Matt Kent Adam Lau Fransico Lopez-Soto Nick Lovullo Everlouis Lozada Tate Matheny Samuel Miranda Oddanier Mosqueda Josh Ockimey Angel Padron Yorvin Pantoja Keibert Petit Roniel Raudes Austin Rei Hildemaro Requena Jeremy Rivera Kleiber Rodriguez Jake Romanski Jagger Rusconi Alberto Schmidt Andrew Schwaab Nick Sciortino Mike Shawaryn Hunter Smith Kevin Steen Cole Sturgeon Kervin Suarez Luke Tendler Josh Tobias Kyri Washington Marcus Wilson

    He had his eyes closed.
  5. moonslav59
    I think Dalbec may be called up to the big club this fall. With Chavis now gone from AAA, probably for good, I'd start playing Dalbec at 3B instead of Jantzen Witte. (I thought Dalbec was more than just one year older than Duran, but I was wrong. Move 'em both up a notch!)
  6. moonslav59
    Yes, I agree. There can be room for a productive Pedey AND Chavis, if that ever happens.
  7. moonslav59
    ...and that one play we've all seen 365 times, where he flies into the stands to make a catch.
  8. moonslav59
    If he does stay healthy, and that's a huge IF, he will be worked in slowly, anyways. When he plays 2B (maybe twice a week to start, again assuming he's healthy, Chavis can DH, play 3B or 1B as others get the rest Cora demands of them. If Pedey does well, then we'll want to find a way to work him into a larger role, if possible. If he does poorly or aggravates his knee again, then nothing was lost.
  9. moonslav59
    To AA, maybe. I'd move Dalbec to AAA now.
  10. moonslav59
    Jeter is no an exception. He sucked on D.
  11. moonslav59
    The condescending ******** has flowed both ways, and not just on this issue. I've gone back and read some of my old posts and can certainly see why some people are put off by my statements or implications. I will say, I do not mean making people feel put-down or inferior intellectually. We have some very smart posters on this board, and no one side has more than the other. In my personal life, I am VERY "old school" in many ways, and I don't consider myself just a stat geek. Many posters here are multidimensional. Things do get personal at times here, but such is life.
  12. moonslav59
    This, too.
  13. moonslav59
    Yes...far from euphoric.
  14. moonslav59
    100%. Thing may change in the next few weeks or months, but as of right now, Chavis needs to play nearly everyday.
  15. moonslav59
    es, he will not be ML ready until JBJ's arb years are done...plus maybe another year or two
  16. moonslav59
    After his rehab assignment was shut down over the weekend, Dustin Pedroia will be back playing on Friday, Alex Speier of the Boston Globe tweets.
  17. moonslav59
    It will be a cake walk.
  18. moonslav59
    JBJ is my favorite player, but I'd be fine with replacing him with a defensive CF'er who can hit better than him. The new guy doesn't even have to be as great as JBJ on defense: he just has to be real good on D for me to like him. How do we find this guy? Our budget is tight. Our OF on the farm is far away. We can't trade anyone without opening a hole or weakening our future even more. Yes, his OPS sucks, right now, but I have faith he'll get back around .700 and maybe higher. If he stays under .500 or maybe even .550 for too much longer, we'll replace him. No great D sustains .450.
  19. moonslav59
    My eyes agreed with the metrics on Jeter. He had the worst range at a position where range in super important. Yes, he made the plays hit right to him. Whhop-dee-freakin-doo!
  20. moonslav59
    Yes, Clutch exists.... Proof that Clutch exists
  21. moonslav59
    Those two cases gave metrics a bad name, and it still is a mystery how they both ended up with numbers that defied the eyes. I've never heard a plausible reason for why the came out looking so much better than we all know they were. I can understand that maybe they weren't as bad as the eyes showed they were, but the metrics seemed way off for both of them.
  22. moonslav59
    You think dropping .067 would turn a 2.8 WAR to 0.0 or worse? (Note: I also think JBJ's defense is under represented in WAR, but that's just my opinion.)
  23. moonslav59
    I still think he can hit between .550 and .650 and still be a plus. I don't think .450 is sustainable.
  24. moonslav59
    Look at some of these sick OBPs over the last 2 & 4 weeks! 2 Weeks: JBJ is 9th at .333! .560 Vaz (say what?) .455 Moreland (getting back in the groove) .434 Devers (waking up the echoes) .412 Betts (getting used to the 2 spot) .389 JD (steady steady) .388 Chavis (electrifying) .382 Bogey (nice) .377 Beni (the fat slob) .333 JBJ .316 Leon .269 Nunez .192 Pearce Last 4 weeks: .477 Betts (never had that leading off) .431 Vaz .427 Devers .406 Chavis .379 JDM .354 Beni .352 Bogey .325 Moreland .323 Leon .308 JBJ .269 Nunez .186 Pearce OPS Season Splits vs RHP 1.062 Betts .987 Chavis .959 Moreland .908 Devers .852 Beni .785 JD M .755 Bogey .654 Vaz (about half his OPS vs lefties) .499 JBJ .410 Nunez .280 Pearce vs LHPs 1.530 JD 1.201 Vaz 1.146 Bogey .973 Chavis .710 Devers .649 Beni (.360 OBP) .564 Nunez .536 Moreland .420 Betts (What the...?) .366 Pearce .312 JBJ
  25. moonslav59
    May 16, 2018: Beni's OPS was .792. This year's fat OPS is ahead of last year's skinny one. JBJ's OPS was .520 and dropped to .502 on May 19th before rebounding by hitting .791 the rest of the way (not counting his explsive post season). Vaz was at .435 (worse than JBJ now). Leon as at .454. Nunez was at .610 Bogey was at .875. Holt was at .887 (.449 in 2017). JD M was at 1.024. Betts was at 1.166. As ICP would say, Chavis was just a nut stain in his mamma's drawers.
