I've been an advocate for having Leury on the bench because he can play all the infield and outfield positions well, and that gives you incredible flexibility with your team, especially in the late innings. That and the fact that he can't be sent down have led to him having a lock on a 25-man roster spot no matter how bad his hitting was.

However, nobody predicted Yermin Mercedes, Jake Lamb, Danny Mendick, and even Billy Hamilton outhitting him, so have we reached the point where Leury's flexibility no longer justifies carrying his sub .600 OPS on the roster? Hamilton (when he's back) can play the OF about as well as Leury and has been hitting better than him, and Mendick can handle the IF and is also hitting better.

 

This post went past its expiration date.  Leury is doing very well lately.  Good swings and good infield defense, plus value as switch hitter. Leave him on team.

Leury's hitting .538/.625/.692 for a 267 wRC+ with a .583 BABIP since the original post. If the purpose of this post was to get him to play better, it worked. Either that or you've angered the baseball gods and now they're blessing Leury with all the BABIP luck in the world.
