Miller could be here a long time if he keeps hitting .343. He won't but it sure is fun right now, and I love the increase in base running plays this year.
We'll see how things go throughout the season, but Quero's current HR pace is good for any 20 year old let alone a catcher. Even playing a reduced schedule fitting a catcher he is up to a 30 HR pace.
I watched the last time I drove through a cop parked like he was set-up for speed enforcement right on I-94 not move with multiple cars going by 10+ over the speed limit. It's almost like Europe down there. I had a colleague visit Italy for a conference and he described it as everyone driving like they were in a road race trying to pass whoever was in front regardless of the speed.
Advanced metric credit him with 1-2 HRs this year in most home ball parks outside of SF. Not much, but given the small number of ABs that actually is a very big bump in the middling OPS.
Aguilar seems to have lost the ability to hit righties well, but still rocking an OPS over 1.000 against lefties. So in that dedicated DH emergency 1st basemen role trading for Jesus seems like a solid move at this point.
Those raw physical numbers definitely suggest an increase in health, which makes me more likely to believe this weekend was a sign of good things to come.
If Black could play defense at the moment or was at AAA already posting those numbers it would be different. Another month or so is about right to see if there is some improvement. Not too early to start exploring trade options though.
