23 year old was just acquired from Cleveland for cash. Excellent defensive SS who had a poor season at the plate in 2022, but has hit in the past. Precursor to possible DeJong trade?
The Cardinals need a utility infielder to serve as a backup at 2B, SS & 3B if DeJong is not retained.
Interesting write up from MLB Trade Rumors: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/st-louis-cardinals
Apparently Johnny thinks this Fermin guy is really good. Why else would he have paid cash for him? I mean, money’s tight right now…
Is .235 good? And if not, would that be a number that Johnny would consider before paying cash money for a player? I mean, I know DeWitt Jr. likes him and all, but if Mrs. 1TD foolishly throws my money around, it makes me sad…
He’s hit okay in the past. Here was his line in the MIdwest League in 2019 when he was 20 years old –
.293/.374/.379/.753
And in 2021 when his time was split between AA and AAA –
.261/.332/.395/.728
Was an All Star defensively.
A BABiP significantly below .300 is often said to signify bad luck by the hitter, or BABiP against significantly below .300 signifying good luck by a pitcher. It is often said that BABiP will gravitate back toward .300 and so a low BA by the batter will go up, or good results by the pitcher will go down. This has been mentioned in the case of Parsons, whose BABiP against was .200 this season. So the common wisdom would be that that Parsons is not really that good and Fermin is not really that bad.
I personally think that BABiP has little to do with luck so that is all a steaming pile.
