The Javy Baez Thread

[dawson1989]

Well I was going to comment but then I saw this thread instantly turned into one man's ego trip.

 

Thoughts? Id like to get this thread back on track to Baez.

 

Not the biggest Baez fan. I believe we already have plenty of power and plenty of swing and miss. That said he's at the point you throw him to the wolves and see what he does. Give him a few months of regular playing time and if he slumps give him a shot to work out of it. No more kid gloves.

 

If he is hitting .200 at the end of May, he's a defensive sub who can gives guys days off and sees 200-300 ABs a season. If he can .230+ with the expected power then he's a starter who you try to find 500 ABs by subbing him all over (2b, SS, 3b, OF). If he's the latter he'll probably take over 2b full-time next year and make Zobrist the super sub.

 

Personally, if he's the latter, I'd rather trade him. Like I said we have plenty of power and too much swing and miss in the lineup already.

If he is the latter I want to keep him. As BP said in the annual this year he can be the best bat at 2B by 2018, his power there can be unprecedented.
