Hiding Behind The Kids

June 26th, 2012 by terrybenish

Sunday’s game players plus slash line and OPS:
I Suzuki RF .273 .301 .380 .681
J Jaso C .260 .368 .423 .791
b-M Olivo PH-C .209 225 .381 .606
C Wells LF .284 .354 .432 .786
c-KSeager PH-3B .262 .320 .464 .784
J Smoak 1B .214 .275 .354 .629
M Saunders CF .267 .331 .445 .776
D Ackley 2B .243 .319 .338 .657
C Figgins 3B-LF .191 .252 .290 .542
B Ryan SS .181 .284 .280 .564

The only guys that can hit are Wells and Saunders. Seager pinch hit and got a double. You can’t win at all with that. Three young guys and six veterans, with over 1,000 plate appearances. The veterans all suck mostly.

I Suzuki RF .273 .300 .378 .678
F Gutierrez CF .286 .342 .486 .828
K Seager 3B .258 .315 .457 .767
J Montero DH .263 .301 .406 .707
J Smoak 1B .212 .275 .350 .625
C Figgins PR .191 .252 .290 .542
M Saunders LF .267 .330 .442 .772
M Olivo C .211 .228 .380 .608
D Ackley 2B .244 .319 .338 .657
B Ryan SS .179 .282 .277 .559
a-J Jaso PH .257 .365 .419 .784
M Kawasaki SS
E Ramirez P

Five veterans and four kids. Can’t win with those guys, contracts or not they are not going to get better. The last number is the OPS. .700-.800 is ok to border of good, .800-.900 is kind of good to real good. .900 to beyond is some kind of great. .600-.700 is crap to ok, .500-.600 you’re way over-matched or headed south and done. Gutierrez bears watching.

If those five or veterans were real good players aside the young guys, the young guys would be playing without as much pressure. If this were pre-Marvin Miller all of those veterans would have been released last year. They suck mostly.
