Also really bad.

Escobar was TPJ-esque with the bat last year. There's no way around that. He was a very plus defensive player. But if he continues to hit at that level, he's not something you can carry in the lineup every day.

Just commenting that if I'm looking at bringing in a guy who struggled that much at the plate and is not a good defender, the price should be fairly low.

I still think Franklin has potential and I still like his pop. But it shouldn't be an extremely costly acquisition.

How you listening?

Moose 2-2 with 2 HRs

If one believes he can hit at this level (as I do) and if someone buys the 3.5 war projections by Oliver (I'm mixed in that), he will be quite expensive. And Seattle only needs 1 front office who does.

MMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Do you get MLB.tv or the MLB At Bat app?

Hosmer is 3-3 so far today with 2 doubles.

HOSMER now 3-3

I think he can hit, but the K rate is terrifying. Could be another Brandon Wood type.

I don't buy the 3.5 WAR projections at all... especially considering Oliver is projecting him to save runs. Guy is not going to save runs, especially if he's playing SS.

of course, he's a middle infielder who can't really pick the ball, so we should realize he's not a Dayton Moore player. Therefore, any talk about him is probably for naught, anyway.

Peguero singles in Hosmer, 5-0

Didn't Moose win the Cactus League Triple Crown last year?

According to GMDM, Moose led us to the World Series last year.

yeah, we've got him signed to a very club-friendly deal (if he's not worthless) too. And, I bought a freakin' Escobar jersey a couple years ago.

We really, really need Escobar to hit at a not-embarrassing level.

That last part is certainly true.

Haven't been paying attention... What's the latest on Ervin?
