After another 0 for 4, JJ Wetherholt plummets to .243/.349/.376/.725 on the year.
Of course, Travis Bazzana says I'll do you one better, going 0 for 4 and dropping to .236/.332/.376/.708.
But Wetherholt at least carries a +13 DRS to Bazzana's -2 at 2B (which is actually not too bad compared to Altuve's -10 and Jazz Chisholm's -7).
Why can't we get a guy to get hot like Chase Meidroth? All of a sudden, this guy is turing into yet another core piece in Chicago. He's up to .280/.356/.421/.777 and a 3.5 WAR. A right handed batter who mauls lefties and holds his own vs righties. (-2 DRS at 2B). He may yet change Chicago's thoughts about moving Sam Antonacci (.278/.368/.407/775) back to the infield. Wouldn't it be nice to have such "problems"? Hell, what a platoon they'd make at 2B! They'd get around an .850 OPS day in and day out with those two.
Bazzana now has only one extra base hit in the last 20 games he's started, a double on August 1.
