The tendency, among fans, to blame injuries for certain players' struggling (Santander, Hays, Mancini) while not giving the same leeway to others (Mountcastle, Stewart).
Sure, when you have a player that isn't the designated whipping boy and they struggle it's injury.
That's a OH staple.
Santander doesn't have a history of cold streaks.
Do you really think that?
If he was hitting little squibblers that found holes for base hits you'd rather keep him over him hitting the ball on the screws at guys?
I suppose a 1-2 1B that can mash the ball, coming out of that draft, wouldn't be bad. Since the 1-1 1B isn't doing as well as our resident whipping boy.
Sure?
I wasn't critiquing the move.
I was making a joke.
Since a team called the Baltimore Orioles did, in fact, sell Babe Ruth.
I would expect Dan would have gotten the joke.
His fielding would look better if the other fielders could throw.
As for the extent of luck?
It's luck, if you flip a coin and it comes up heads 500 times in a row it's still 50/50 on flip 501.
Do you think he's cursed?
If Kjrestad pushes him off first fine, although I cringe at spending a 1-2 pick on a 1B.
