HOFHurt35 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Grandal is no longer an offensive threat to ever merit consideration for DH ABs. I don't get why LaRussa doesn't get or why Hahn hasn't made a move already with the 3 catchers and actually getting a real bat in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This roster can't afford to to give him regular DH ABs. Expand None of the pitchers lik throwing to him, he’s a butcher behind the plate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Line Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Grandal is a second half hitter. Last season he carried the lineup after the ASB. Everyone doubting him is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of those numbers are good and would indicate he's still capable of hitting for power, but if you actually watch his ABs that obviously doesn't seem to be the case. He also is yet to record a barrel since coming off the IL which is a more useful/predictive stat to measure power anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
