I am intrigued by the "for long" part, because it implies he didn't suck the entire time.

[Sammy Sofa]

Also: MORE LIKE PUKEROY.

Hope getting back in the division will help spark a revival of his bat

I thought he had a big first week

he was good for like 4 or 5 days

[Sammy Sofa]

Wait to Edith Cox it up, you guys.

I know his pitch framing used to be considered elite. Is that still the case?

[We Got The Whole 9]

He does at least still have a good approach at the plate. He might benefit from being a little more aggressive. It's too bad Vic has hit so poorly as a starter.

i don't think he's doing anything well this year.

were you the "move contreras to the OF and start caratini" guy?

[Little Slide Rooter]

I knew he’d fallen off the past few years, but I didn’t realize how sickeningly awful he’d been. It’s kind of like the Maldonado acquisition, only the opposite.

Yeah, that was a clear misfire

[UMFan83]

According to fangraphs, his defense (which I believe FG puts a big emphasis on framing) has been below replacement level this year, and way below replacement level in 2017, but pretty good in 2018.

i bet it will. he'll be like "i'm gonna hit like i did the last time i was in the NL central."

Laughing way too hard at this

We'll need a large sample of like 10 PA's before we'll be able to ascertain that though.

Yeah, he made the great catch and hit a home run in the first few days. Plus he probably led the team in walks for the time he was here.

Well, his .689 OPS at Busch bodes almost as poorly as his .627 OPS at Wrigley.

You should spend less time trying to be a smartass online and watch more baseball. Every year down guys take off in a pennant race andput up good numbers in places of past success. Did you say that dumb horsefeathers about Cole Hamels too?

Cole Hamels never played in the NL Central before the Cubs.

only because when he was a rookie it was just the east and the west

You should spend less time succeeding at being a dumbass online.

cole hamels took off because his mechanics were off and he was reworking them leading up to the trade. that makes a lot more sense than pennant race magic.

OPS better than KB's .621 in St Louis, and at least JL gets on base there hitting .295 with a .337 OBP for that OPS. They both have the same amount of hits in St Louis this year, but KB has 17 more AB
