I think it's safe to say by now that the prospect evaluators (Eric Longenhagen in particular) missed the mark re. Sal Frelick's defense. 75th percentile in arm strength, 3 DRS, 4 OAA in 184 OF innings,
Didn't they get a roof for their new ballpark so you wouldn't have to sit in the 100+ degree temps?
But I hear ya. I sure hope someone like Adames feels as embarrassed as we all are watching him swing the bat.
If Sal Frelick is going to continue to get on base at a near .400 clip, time for him to hit in front of someone not named Willy Adames. Someone who can actually put the ball in play.
They're not letting him go for nothing at this stage in the season. They may non-tender him in the offseason, but they're going to continue to try to turn him around in the meantime.
DFA Anderson and Taylor. Call up Tellez/Hiura and Black. Bench Adames in favor of Turang tomorrow and the next day if necessary. Nothing to lose. Go with the young kids fighting for their place in the majors.
