I hate Wrigley as well. And their obnoxious fans deserve the toilet they play in. It even smells like a toilet.
I think Winn just needs to mature some. He has the defensive ability to be a hof ss but it won’t carry him there alone. He has to buckle down and do all the little things like Ozzie did to improve that part of his game. Otherwise, he’s just another guy with a nice carreer.
Its
not like there weren’t a lot of home run hitters when there were a lot of .300 hitters. There were both at the same time.
Could it be because teams encourage and actually pay more for extra base hits than singles which are easier to get hence higher ba?
I’m extremely biased when it comes to him because I love watching his defense so much. But he’s going to get pushed by some good prospects that are in the system if that continues trending down.
I root for each and every young man who wears Cardinal Red except for the rare guy like the one who just got booted from Pittsburgh. But that doesn’t make them all major league players. ATM has it figured. Blaze is starting because there isn’t anyone else. Reminds me of the year Floyd Rayford played third for us for part of a season.
His BA is third on the team which is not unkind.
I’m not going to debate the importance of batting average with you. or the fact that being third on a team with a .255 avg. is anything to brag about. But his obp is .279. His SLG is .372. OPS .651. HR 1. Those aren’t kind #’s. And really, they aren’t the issue. The issue is we can’t put a better player than that on the field.
I thought Jordan would be a disaster. But he seems to make all the ordinary plays. But the eye test reveals, as it did last night, his lack of range. The stat test is much kinder to his defense than his offense. He’s showing zero production since his run on rbi’s his first few weeks.
