"I didn't get Turner so go get me the next biggest name" and it was a **** hole of a hitter. I like JBJ's defense. With Yelich out we needed him out there. And we all knew he was a streaky hitter. However, $40 M was a tad steep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His BABIP is stupid high but his K rate is still almost 35% which means we fixed absolutely nothing about his swing/approach. He needs to drop the K rate substantially before I'd even consider it.

Cheesehead430 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Hahah... Thats it? I mean Adames bat is pretty average and the Rays have a abundance of young middle infielders. But thats it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Bringing Hiura back up just because he had a damn near .700 BABIP made no damn sense. Dude still struck out a **** ton and nothing changed with his approach. He's now worse than JBJ at the dish. Jackie Bradley Jr .154/.216/.276, 32.2% K%, 4.1% BB%, .220 wOBA, .122 ISO, 37 wRC+ Keston Hiura .137/.234/.232, 38.0% K%, 7.4% BB%, .218 wOBA, .095 ISO, 35 wRC+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a fear we've seen the best of Hiura. What a waste... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 How the hell can you guys turn Jimmy Nelson (pre-injury), Brandon Woodruff, and Corbin Burnes into aces, but turn around and completely break an elite collegiate hitter like Keston Hiura?

Considering we couldn't trip and fall 10 years ago without finding some scrub we could turn into a 3 WAR position player, yeah it's irritating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) 16 SB already. Looking like our leadoff hitter of the future. He's all speed/contact but he should play a really good 2B. EDIT - Make it 17 SB. 4 tonight. EDIT #2 - Make it 19. He stole 6 tonight. Edited June 3, 2021 by beekay414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
