-9 wRC+. If he doesn't figure things out by the time Dylan Moore comes off the IL then he might be relegated to the bench or even worse DFA'd (doubt it would come to that though)
Yeah the Pirates who supposedly wanted a king's ransom for Reynolds will give up their opening day starter with 2 more years of team control after this season to a division rival!
Rumor is Betts is going to be playing SS tomorrow. He's played 112 professional innings at SS all the way back in 2011 and 2012 in rookie ball and low-A
He can play multiple positions but he’s not very good anywhere. He had a pretty brutal throwing error on a routine grounder to 3B today. Still think he might end up at 1B eventually especially if his bat continues to progress.
Interesting pickup. Former 1st round pick all the way back in 2017. He clearly has battled a lot of injuries because he's only thrown 57 total innings since 2020.
Judge (a stat guy at Baseball Prospectus) thinks that Contreras has shown enough to be considered a legit framer now because he has exceeded the small sample size probable error.
I don't know why people didn't like that send. 2 outs and Mitchell who has been struggling at the plate on deck. It was a gutsy call and I was screaming send the whole way when it went through Crawford's legs.
It was a hanging curveball. The location wasn't bad but it was a terrible pitch. He threw another hanger to France and was bailed out by Anderson on an amazing play.
