    Junior Lake, since May 31 (and, yes, I included May 31 specifically because he was 0-5 with 3 K's that day and had 2 BB the day before -- sue me): .169/.181/.272 and 1/45 BB/K That's over 138 PA. So his 32.6% K% over that span has actually brought his season K-rate down. Oh, he also has only 1 extra-base hit since June 18th, a span of 75 AB.

    Russell with an RBI-double.

    Should have just pitched Jaxon in every game of this series and put him out of his misery.
  4. Aaron Kennelly
    Olt, Ramirez and who's the last one? Our erstwhile closer, Veras.

    We had to give up enough to make Florida not release him out of spite. "Here is literally a nothing player." "Can't you give us something?" "No, here is nothing." "Ok, screw you. We will just start this waivers process over and hope you don't get him and we will still get nothing." "Fine." "Oh, and don't bother trying to trade with us again." And... Giancarlo Stanton is a Red Sox.

    Mendy! He's grown on me so much.
  7. Aaron Kennelly
    only helps the sample size That's... a great way to look at it.
  8. Aaron Kennelly
    He's also swung at 66.7% of pitches, though. :-))
  9. Aaron Kennelly
    75% contact% right now.
  10. Aaron Kennelly
    Very much so, but Javier Baez also had 40 extra-base hits in 76 games there last year, so it's not like it's impossible to hit for a little power there.
  11. Aaron Kennelly
    Eh, quality of contact is mostly noise. #kiddingnotkidding The main thing to be taken out of it is that his BABIP is still .000. So until that changes, we can claim that he has just been unlucky.
  12. Aaron Kennelly
    Well, I am pretty sure they do. But I'm afraid there was less BABIP luck involved in that out than the line-out last night.

    Dunston for Turner is an absolute steal, made less of a steal by the fact that the Marlins really have no leverage or choice in the matter.

    Im assuming Jackson is gone. This regime has had no problem getting rid of lost causes, even if they have to eat some salary. Yeah, over the next two years, basically the entire roster is either in arbitration or pre-arb (or already locked up like Rizzo and Castro), so eating his salary should be of no concern. If he isn't one of the top five starters heading into next season, then he's gone. I might even just DFA him right now. Let some of Turner, Straily, and Doubront finish off the year in the rotation. If they plan on spending money on at least one starting pitcher in the off-season, then I would have no qualms with Jackson not even being in the battle for a rotation spot next Spring.
  15. Aaron Kennelly
    He has been taking a lot of walks, so there's that For sure; it's nice not having to worry about a prospect's approach or contact issues.
  16. Aaron Kennelly
    It would be nice if Schwarber could get an extra-base hit or two the rest of the year.
  17. Aaron Kennelly
    I'm thinking we might have had a deal in the works already and the Marlins got a wink-wink agreement from the Rockies to let him pass through. Two things don't make sense: 1. That the Rockies would pass. 2. That the Marlins would choose now to do this, in the first place.
  18. Aaron Kennelly
    He doesn't walk guys, is only 23, has a good pedigree, and gets a lot of ground balls. He is literally the perfect guy to work with Bosio. He might get him to start throwing the cutter more, show him how to be more efficient with it, and show him how to get even more ground balls. If Bosio can work his magic and this kid reaches his potential, then you are looking at a possible elite ground ball pitcher with sterling K/BB numbers.

    If we did get him, could we possibly move to a six-man rotation when rosters expand...? It's not like we have any guys that absolutely need to be out there every five days. Wada and Arrieta have injury histories. Hendricks hasn't thrown over 166 innings in a year and could easily approach 200 total this year. Let's us get a better look at some of the new acquisitions.
  21. Aaron Kennelly
    I would love to throw him right in the rotation, and would love for him to take Jackson's spot, but I just don't see it happening. Stick him in the pen, if need be. Just get him on the roster and we can sort it out later. I'm so happy the Rockies are taking a pass; I can't believe this guy is being handed over for peanuts at the age of 23.

    Let's just play until Javi gets a hit!
