http://www.hardballtimes.com/introducing-oliver/ It probably incorporated his terrible wRC+ of 49 or -37.5 runs last year. His three seasons prior were -16.3 average (-25.3/-20.9/-2.8). So the projections probably think he's closer to -20 runs or so than the 2012 -2.8. Right now he's +1.3. I doubt you'll find even one SABRmetrician who thinks that'll hold. |

When Cain comes back Maxwell needs to go. Dyson has proven himself more useful and that spot will be better used on a backup middle infielder.

You continue to lean on those projections and tell us how Esky shouldn't be on the team if that's what you want to do. If you want to complain that those others need more HRs no one will argue. Last edited by mr. tegu; 05-02-2014 at 06:08 AM.. |

The guy has a career track record of 2500 AB's with .640 OPS. Same as I don't see Belly, Gordo, Hos, etc all performing so poorly for the remainder. PB is being his usual overreaction ![]()

Other than last season he has performed basically as you would hope. It isn't his fault the true offensive guys aren't hitting HRs and doing as expected so saying he is a problem because of team offensive woes is directing frustrations in the wrong direction. |

The guy we need to seriously start considering replacing long term at this point is Cain. We are being forced to retain an extra OF'r because he's basically this guy with a glove. ![]()

Hopefully Hosmer can start getting those doubles a few extra feet so they become HRs. He has just missed quite a few in the last 10 games or so. Among AL first basemen he is tied for the lead in doubles and second in BA. He seems to be swinging well in general, but now he needs to turn some doubles into HRs and hit better with RISP. Right now he is just at .250.

I think Hosmer could revert back to last year's numbers, but I'm pretty sure Billy Butler is done as a decent DH. We'll see if I'm right. As for Escobar/Infante I think Escobar will fall off severely but I never said anything about Infante. Only that his contract will suck year 4. WTF was he even brought up? |
