Yeah, I'm not too crazy about this one. I don't think it's horrible or anything. Price is about right by the market, i'm just not sure our odds are very good right now and Davies might have been a good asset for us next year and beyond.
Nick finishes June with zero homeruns for the season. Still holding firm with a respectable 746 OPS and 389 OBP. rWAR sitting at an even 1 (fWAR slighly more favorable at 1.2) at almost the halfway point of the season. Nick has started in 76 of Atlanta's 77 games, including 1 game as DH.
Yeah, Turner Crushed it last year too. He has really filled out and developed power. He looks like a Lumberjack up there with that big Red Beard. Always liked him.
Nick finishes May with Zero homeruns. 731 OPS. 104 OPS+ and a near replacement 0.2 rWAR despite a still impressive 385 OBP. fWAR does hold him about a half win better (mostly in defensive value between DRS and UZR) .
It is rather amazing that he is maintaining good production. He is not striking out and and slashing away at a 371 babip. 72 points higher than last year. Wee Willie Keeler would be proud.
