He has 2 walks to 30 K's (ouch) and 7 of his 10 XBH have been the HR's... He literally doesn't get on base other than circling the bases... Sounds like baseball in general, anymore. Not that everybody's numbers are that extreme, but many players' numbers are skewing that direction. But I agree with you...the overall production is nice right now, but there's a level of frustration with the numbers, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad guy to have. Dingers and good defense. DeJong is sort of like that except he draws an extremely high rate of walks in addition to the good defense and dingers.

DeJong is sort of like that except he draws an extremely high rate of walks in addition to the good defense and dingers. DeJong is exactly what I mean. You can live with his high strikeout rate because he gets on base/takes walks (although he's been lagging this year so far). You have to be able to get on-base if you're not going to hit for average, or have XBH outside of the HR's. Especially since TOR strikes out at such a high clip. He's got to improve on this if he wants to be viewed as an everyday LF option and a 5-6 hole hitter vs. just a 4th OF.

That's literally been his skillset since as soon as we acquired him. He either hits the ball a LONG way or he whiffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Incredibly stupid decision to send Edman. Ball wasn’t even hit that deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Great to get a divisional series win. Another big series up next against SD. Tough opponent even with their recent outbreak. Definitely nice to not have to face Tatis though. Waino on the road scares me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't happened and you could argue he's regressed here. It sucks too because as we've seen, he's one of the faster guys in the MLB on the base paths.

He probably chose the Dodgers because he won't have to move. We didn't really have a spot for him realistically either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised he ended up with an NL team, though. Thought for sure he'd sign with an AL team with the DH as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
