Yes hes BABIP is low and we're likely to see regression but this is pretty much the same pace he set when he was a 3 win giy for a couple years. Now hes striking more guys out, completely possible hes in for a career year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardHawk Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Time to wrap up the Bautista experiment and call it a nice try. He's not helping this team. EDIT...lol and just like that he hits a HR. Edited May 13, 2018 by WizardHawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT...lol and just like that he hits a HR. Bautista had a handful of ABs in simulated spring training, 43 ABs in the minors, and jut now played in his 10th game with Atlanta. He's going to have the job at least until the all star break. Very small sample size, but his BABIP is .158. BB and K numbers are pretty much in line with what he's been the past couple years, so I expect him to find more hits out there soon. He can hit .230-240 with 20+ home runs, and walk at a almost elite clip. Thats good enough for someone we are paying peanuts, and is only holding the spot until 2019. We do need Dansby back soon. His defensive abilities can mask a little of Bautista's shortcomings at third. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think hes even a .230 hitter anymore, last year he barely got over .200 and were assuming old age has deteriorated even more of his skills. He adds some power and can still walk, but his defense has been abyssmal and hes taking abs away from flaherty. He should be in a platoon and used as a rh bat off the bench. Riley could be up in september/october depending how guys play, we really just have to get by til then. or, if we stay as competitive as we have been just trade for machado, try and build something around allard and see if they bite.

Come on now. Flaherty is crap. We are talking about a 31 year old guy that has been worth 1.5 WAR in his six year career before this year, and was cut in Spring Training. His April was a mirage. Bautista had a .239 BABIP last year, which isnt unheard of for him, but look at his previous years. .233 BABIP/.260 BA, .215 BABIP/.240 BA, .237 BABIP/.250 BA. That .203 average doesnt fit. He is 37, and isnt the player he used to be, but Im pretty sure that once that BABIP jumps up to somewhere around .200, his average will be higher than last season. We arent signing Machado long term. We arent going to make a splash like that. This team is ahead of schedule, so the front office is not going to trade big assets for a three month rental.

Good response, really well thought out and only took a week and a half to think of those three great words. however unfortunate it may be, i really hope it took all that time to think of three words instead of waiting for a blow up start.

GSUeagles14 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Demeritte is starting to come back to prospect status, im not letting that one go. .294/.402/.494 slash in May, and they seem to be preparing him for a super utility role. I could see him getting moved up to gwinnett in Julyish if this continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
