Five hitters had a babip that high for the year last year. He's not suddenly one of the five best hitters in the game at hitting balls into play. It was likely luck.
I don't get the obsession with adding a RH hitter. Lewis, CC, Jeffers, Buxton, polanco are all RH. Those first two are going to play 140 plus games, and Jeffers half. Their next C is also RH.
The odds that he has a babip that high ever again are very slim.
I'd trade him. But they won't, imo, unless he is part of a deal for a SP.
I would understand if they don't.
As I've been predicting..... They'll deal him with a prospect to clear salary and sign a cheap veteran. No idea if it's a good idea, but I see it making sense.
Tiny sample sizes are ridiculous.... Corbin Carroll was just as bad for a similar stretch in the playoffs, then single handedly brought his team to the next round. Seriously
Lee hasn't even had a full second year yet. I don't know if he's going to be great or not, but this was his first full year as a pro, and he's in AAA....
