Arismendy since June 5th (79 PA heading into today): .352/.418/.535/.953

 

Add in today's 2/3 with a double and a walk and he almost has to be over a 1.000 OPS during that time.

waiting on SSR to inform me if that's supposed to be impressive or not

How are his splits looking this year? I remember them being brought up as a potential problem (when he was hitting righty, i think?)

[Guest]

For Kyle's benefit: His overall walk rate is up to 6.4% on the year and his OBP is up to .330

He's crushing lefties and doing ok vs righties. source

 

For his career he has virtually no split (.780 vs .766)

[sneakypower]

1.018 OPS vs. lefties, 16.7% Ks

.773 OPS vs. righties, 25.7% Ks

 

i don't know for sure what to make of that, but i figure our resident Alcantara expert would deem them pretty non-prospect-y on the whole

Last year was just the opposite, so I don't think there's any reason to believe there's a long-term issue with it.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

how weird.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Yup. His real, actual numbers are becoming reasonably sexy.

[Guest]

Oh yeah, he's also 17 of 20 in steals this year.

Jesus I made one joke and you've lost your [expletive] mind about it

Last 3 years: 76 steals, 13 times caught.

Wasn't he supposed to be a mid-rotation type when he came to the states? I have to think that he'd have one of the opt outs if he isn't called up by such and such a date clauses in his minor league deal. I'm actually somewhat surprised that they haven't found a way to call him up for the purpose of showcasing him prior to the deadline.
