      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      I agree, particularly with regard to the comments about how he should be handed the job without any interviews or how he would become the “manager-in-waiting”. He might very well be far and away the best candidate, but as a fan it’s hard to evaluate that because so much of what manager or coach does is behind the scenes. He’s probably the favorite.  However, the FO could decide that Quentin Berry, Matt Tuiasosopo, Clayton McCullough, Kai Correa, Mark Budzinski, David Bell, or David Ross is the better option.

      I think 3 years is the more relevant window. In that time, Teoscar has 8.3 fWAR vs. 8.2 fWAR for Tony, so basically a wash.   In that window, Teoscar has had a .341 BABIP vs. a .257 for Tony.  If that gap normalizes, Tony’s value is going to be better.   Further, Tony has much less swing-and-miss with a 20.5% strikeout rate over the past three years vs. 29.5% for Hernandez. Arguably, the team could stand to benefit from more contact and less hacking. With Tony going into his age 30 season vs. Teoscar going into his age 32 season, the aging curve should be less harsh for Santander.   Finally, as you concede, the switch hitting factor is important.  It allows us to always have an ideal matchup. However, it’s even important at Camden. It allows Tony to take 70-75% of his PAs from the left side with a short porch in right while the ability to hit from the right side mitigates the left-handed skew of the roster.  The WALL will hurt Teoscar’s numbers.  He hit 35 home runs this year but only 28 would out at Camden Yards.

      Still think this team didn't choke under pressure?

      By ChangeRoadUnis · Posted

      I agree. 3 months is not an aberration.  It is very likely this team will continue to play at .500 ball next year or less and not make the playoffs.  Then, changes will have to be made.
