gusguyman Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Is it just me, or does Coop seem super slow to come to the mound this year compared to previous years. Seems like our guys flounder for half a line-up before he can bother to get out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to slot Robert as a leadoff guy I might want Yo at 3 and a higher OBP guy at 2. Assuming Madrigal would get on at a good rate I'd like Robert Madrigal Yo Eloy McCann Tim For the first 6. After that is speculation on roster.

Because I'd assume Eloy is going to hit 35-40 HR a year in the 4 hole and I'd rather have McCann in front of Anderson.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 So Lopez is on pace to match his fWAR from last season. If 2.2 is his floor, that’s a damn solid #5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First half McCann I'd want around 5 or 6. Second half McCann probably 7 or 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert shouldn't lead off as a rookie and I prefer him where his power can do some damage and where his speed is used more for defense than for stealing bases to limit potentially harming himself .

poppysox Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 4 minutes ago, fathom said: Didn’t you say you’ve never seen him play I have seen clips and can read a stat line. Most professional writers have called him the best hitter in his draft class. It is possible I will think him dog crap after seeing him play every day but I doubt it. Just for the record I take on faith what the professionals say about players and their potential. They make a living evaluating talent. An example might be that Eloy hasn't looked all that good to me other than his bombs. Everyone looks good in a clip of them hitting a bomb. My hope is that Eloy does a Moncada and comes into his own like most professional talent evaluators believe he will. As CaiSox pointed out...I am old fashioned in that I like the 2 hole hitter to take lots of pitches, hit behind the runner, hit for a high average and carry a good OBA. If he doesn't strike out and can bunt that makes him Nellie Fox and those talents made him the league MVP in 1959. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
