Reggie Abercrombie and.....wait! What!?! There hasn’t been a single major leaguer ever named “Fitch”?!?!?!
-
Some of us thought they needed one for 2019...
-
It’s really weird that you think MLB managers actually aren’t into analytics. A lot of players are deep into analytics. They actually use bats with sensors to optimize launch angles. But you think managers are all like Lou Brown (portrayed brilliantly by James Gammon) in “Major League”?
-
It really is his job to hit where Cora tells him too. So people think Sale needing a catcher he has faith in won’t help, but Betts’ clear and obvious problem is not leading off?
-
Oh I am too. I grabbed him in two leagues. But he still lacks big name appeal, probably/possibly because he shares it with a former Marlins’ second baseman...
-
Yeah I’m not as into Vazquez as a lot of Sox fans (and Cora) apparently are. Now much like offensive metrics, defensive metrics can vary greatly from year to year. So it is possible Vazquez regains some of his former self...
-
It’s a bit weird, but Sale’s struggles are somewhat of a League-wise thing. Kluber, deGrom, Syndegaard, Darvish, Nola, and a bunch of other alleged aces are all pitching like bottom-of-the-rotation arms. And some guy named Luis Castillo (team? Anyone?) is looking like Cy Young Incarnate...
-
That makes Dombrowski a moron for offering him the contract...
-
But any little difference might help right now...
-
That Swihart is cheaper and more teams have catcher injuries now?
-
It’s not like they could DFA Swihart right after his brother/close friend passed away...
-
Very possible. Rangers? Tigers? Rockies?
-
Prince Fielder, for example, might say no...
-
He was a first round pick, but that was 8 years ago. Over a quarter of the ones drafted ahead of him are out of baseball or haven’t made the majors yet. It happens...
-
You forgot to drop the mic...
-
I don’t think anyone is blaming Swihart for Sale’s problems. Isn’t it possible the Sox just decided Swihart wasn’t or wasn’t going to work out? Remember these are people who once DFAd a #3 hitter....
-
No, Leon is more like a Jose Molina who let himself go...
-
Incompetent List?
-
Plus Bird kind of sucks. He’s like Sam Travis, but less of a hitter. And fielder. And probably baserunner. He can only live on that one postseason home run in 2017 for so long...
-
I’d have been surprised if it was Mejia. The Sox issues aren’t in the closer role yet...
-
Eh. The Sox didn’t DFA a young Johnny Bench. Whether his career got sidetracked or not, the end result is Swihart is a borderline MLB player. And he might never be anything more...
-
He might if he didn’t like leading off...
-
Leon is coming up, as is Erasmo Ramirez. Walden to Pawtucket. Swihart to DFA limbo...
-
B-R is cumbersome for those type of stats. Fangraphs.com is easier....
-
Maybe we need a “best nicknames” thread?
