    He could hit better than .216 in AAA. Gonzalez is going to learn quite a bit in a few days. Then he's going to go back to AAA and learn some more.
  2. DJL44
    Giving someone playing time for “learning” is EXACTLY giving a scholarship. It means you’re valuing development of prospects over winning baseball games. That means the playing time is not earned.
  3. DJL44
    Versus Tolle is fine, but Gonzalez should be pinch-hit for as soon as he's going to face a RHP.
  4. DJL44
    That's fine. I want Larnach pinch hitting for him when Tolle leaves the game.

    If you go to an actual website - not a Reddit thread. You'll see that there are 25 qualified AAA hitters above .300. Mickey Gasper is hitting .296. https://www.mlb.com/milb/stats/batting-average?page=2
  6. DJL44
    Why? He hasn't earned playing time over Larnach. I hate giving scholarships to minor leaguers who haven't earned playing time. He's hitting .216 in AAA, that's not someone I want to give at-bats to. I can imagine the conversation Shelton would have with Trevor. "Hey Trevor, you're having a good season but Tristan Gray's wife had a baby so we're going to bench you in Fenway."
  7. DJL44
    I would platoon Gonzalez with Larnach but I wouldn’t outright bench Larnach.
  8. DJL44
    You’re benching Clemens on his dad’s bobble head night? Ouch.
  9. DJL44
    Should they bench Larnach or Martin?
  10. DJL44
    Except you can get false confidence with success despite a bad approach.
  11. DJL44
    The whole concept of a “reset” in AAA might be a fiction. The offensive environment is so different from MLB. Hitting .300 is relatively easy in AAA and nearly impossible in MLB.
  12. DJL44
    Gasper has a 950 OPS in the same league as Fedko. AAA has been quite easy for hitters this season. Subtract at least 200 points of OPS to get a guess at MLB production. 250 points might be a better estimate.
  13. DJL44
    I thought we were supposed to bring up bad veterans like Royce to sit the bench to allow the real prospects like Mendez and Gonzalez to play everyday in AAA. If they are deciding between Gonzalez and Mendez I assume they will pick the player with the platoon advantage for those 3 games.
  14. DJL44
    Neither is on the roster. The most obvious player to bring up to replace an infielder is Royce Lewis.
  15. DJL44
    Austin Martin has a .695 OPS (and falling) in May. He could use some competition as well.
  16. DJL44
    Bell is on a hot streak again. He has always run hot and cold.
  17. DJL44
    Winokur should be fine at 3B
  18. DJL44
    He probably needs an IL stint but should play again as soon as he can swing without pain.
  19. DJL44
    Jeffers can full time DH for a while to return faster. They get an extra player for the doubleheader, right?
  20. DJL44
    He’s not explaining it clearly, but he’s only interested in using minor league walk rate to predict future MLB performance. A really high walk rate can mean the batter is unable to make solid contact and fouls off pitches until they get the walk. That approach won’t play in MLB. The thumbs down is for posting an AI summary. I will auto thumbs down any post written by AI.
  21. DJL44
    I don’t know why a pitcher would throw Royce Lewis a strike right now. His zone recognition is non-existent.
  22. DJL44
    Clemens, Lee, Gray, Outman, Kreidler. They have five utility players on the roster.
  23. DJL44
    80 is as far below average as 120 is above average. Caratini is a catcher, those guys are typically below average. If Outman is a below average defender then I have no idea why he is on the team. His role is defensive replacement and pinch runner.
  24. DJL44
    Every team has players who are below average hitters.
  25. DJL44
    8th in MLB in runs per game and 2nd to the Yankees in the American League.
