Dick Allen Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 06:13 PM) He is a strict platoon player. When is the last time a platoon player was traded for a top 50 guy? As I said, I don't know if that is even a deal, but it makes a lot more sense than for Rios which everyone thought was happening a week or so ago. I beleive the Pirates really want a LH bat.

Dick Allen Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 28, 2013 -> 06:16 PM) Schierholtz career WAR - 6.5 career high prior to this season - 1.3 this season - 2.1 Rios career WAR - 25.4 career high - 5.5 this season - 2.0 seasons over 2.1 - 6 (seventh in progress) They're not even in the same ballpark The past doesn't matter. It is this season that matters. Shierholtz is hitting better and makes 1/6th the paycheck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shierholtz is hitting better and makes 1/6th the paycheck. When one projects how the rest of the season will go, we wonder..."what is the likelihood this player continues this performance?" It would seem to be a very good bet that Rios outplays Schierholtz for the rest of the season. Schierholtz is in for a big raise next year in arbitration anyway. We'll kick in some cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 BTW, why does everyone keep saying he's a top 50 prospect? He was ranked #61 by Baseball America, whom I tend to use, and #54 by MLB.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB.com is useless for those that don't know I would surmise that Hanson is no longer a top 100 guy at this point, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
