Bloodbath, Part II, incoming.
Well I think someone will take Call...
I dont know what other move we could make, other than Call. We are over loaded now with OFs, and not so loaded with capable pitchers.
Valera
Straw
Kwan
OGonz
Jones
Benson
Palacios
On the 40 man now. Brennan has to be added in December.
Cut him now or cut him later.
Sure, but only two of all those names hit RH. O. Gonzalez, who's struggled to keep his OBP over 300 in the minors and the other is Straw.
If anything, we'd have to cut a LH OF. Palacios would have been brutal too, but Call plays good D at all 3 spots, whereas Richie is sort of like a LH version of Owen Miller, decent hitter, not much defense
Well, we lead the league in infield hits.How do you avoid hitting the ball on the ground against Framber Valdez? He has a whopping 67% GB this year.
Leaders among qualified MLB starters:
1. Framber Valdez 66.9%
2. Logan Webb 56.7%
3. Sandy Alcantara 55.7%
4. Kyle Wright 53.1%
5. Martin Perez 52.6%
...
24. Shane Bieber 44.9%
It's rare you see one guy lead the league by so much in a particular stat, but I guess Judge is doing it with HR too.
