The Cobbler: .256/.695

Joey O: .225/.598

An upgrade at the plate, but will he save runs?

You wanted a big bat at 3rd, you got him

Career .192 AVG, 39 WRC+ and a 1.9% walk rate is an upgrade?

An upgrade over Greg Jones but that's about it.

Just looked up when he was drafted...

21st overall in the 2019 draft. One pick ahead of...

Greg Jones.

Options remaining?

i'm sure the fact that he bats lefty to complement Ortiz and Pratt was appealing.

Whether he does or not, it sounds like a DFA candidate when Hamilton returns.

I suspect that the main reason for picking him up was to have someone who might be a little better defensively and little more versatile than Jones  in addition to being left-handed

Not much of a pickup, but Shewmake is better than playing Jones. He goes to Nashville (not sure about options or if they have to waiver him) when Hamilton is ready. Woody goes on the 60 day IL. He's done for the year and this may be it for his career. You have to feel bad for Big Woo.

I expect Andrew Vaughn 2.0 and will accept nothing less.
