I'm pretty sure dropping our second highest OBP guy to #6 isn't wise either.Lineup protection isn’t a real thing
He hasn't been getting on base much lately. Pitchers have stopped walking him. In his last 34 plate appearances he has one walk and four hits.I'm pretty sure dropping our second highest OBP guy to #6 isn't wise either.

Lineup protection isn’t a real thing
He's 34 years old. Bats tend to slow down as players get into their middle 30's. There are some exceptions, however. Nelson Cruz comes to mind.So, what we're trying to do is predict future success.
The last 34 plate appearances deviate from the previous 6,300.
Do you feel 34 plate appearances should carry significant weight in comparison to the body of work? If so, why?

Santana was hitting .173 in 98 at-bats against RHP's coming into this game. Still not a lot of at-bats, but more than 34.
Alomar thinks he's jerking when he swings left-handed and using too much body. I hope he's right and that it's an easy fix.
I think you're reaching.
I also don't know why this conversation is in the minor league thread.
Is that a comment as to quality?!?I think you're reaching.

Goodbye Scrappers as we knew them.
Appalachian League leads off contraction process
The Appalachian League has converted to a college summer circuit for rising freshmen and sophomores, with many teams from the Pioneer League and New York-Penn League also likely to become part of college summer leagues.www.espn.com
The terminology would suggest that there will be living expenses covered.. cost of instruction covered.. up keep and maintenance of facilities and new/modern equipment covered.. but, no change w/r to pay as the "amateur status" remains rooted in the dark ages. Given the notion that MiLB baseball and college baseball cannot, on its own, be commercially viable at this time.. the ability to become commercially viable will be left to the newly formed summer league through re-branding and other revenue opportunities and incentives.If-IF- this leads to a livable wage for the remaining minor Leaguers then awesome. I just doubt it can and keep minor league ball affordable and family friendly (which the minord has trended away from imo).
