...he's a strong defensive option to fill in as Andrelton Simmons recovers from a broken pinky. According to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Janish will report to the Braves tomorrow and be in the starting lineup.

All of Janish's experience in the major leagues has come with the Reds. He's appeared in 324 games, hitting to the tune of .221/.289/.302 in 975 plate appearances. He's a right-handed batter. His defense is probably a bit better than Jack Wilson's and a lot better than Tyler Pastornicky. According to DRS (Defensive Runs Saved), he's at +20 for his career at shortstop, which is very solid.

Basically, expect a player in the mold of Jack Wilson, with perhaps slightly better numbers at the plate. Frank Wren wanted to add some experience to his roster as Simmons recovers, and he did exactly that.

I'm going to guess American dollars are worth more than JPY's (Japanese yen?).

All minor league depth - nothing to see, imo.

Our SS situation at Norfolk was pretty dire last year. Guys like Janish help to rectify that for 2015.

Norfolk had Ivan Dejesus, Jr. Imo, he is a better player than Janish. Even if you prefer Janish, I don't see how it's possible to think he's that much better.

Janish is a very good defensive SS, who can't hit. Which might do, in a pinch if Hardy was out for a short while and there was some reason Flaherty couldn't fill in.

So let's say. something really strange occurred. Like Manny were out, and Hardy could not play? You know like last year? You'd be golden for a week.

That's exactly the scenario for which he is being hired. The case where two starting infielders are temporarily down and you want the defense to remain steady.

Janish is a better defender than DeJesus. DeJesus did primarily play SS for Norfolk last year, but he's more of a 2B. From 2010-2013, he only played a total of 53 games at SS in the minors, and in his two cups of coffee in the majors, he only played 2 innings at SS.

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By Fiver6565 · Posted

      Particularly impressed by Coulombe last night. Not only did he strike out the side, it was all against RH batters thanks to the pinch hitting they did. They looked pretty much helpless against him.

      He did a good job of pitching to Conforto without giving him a pitch to hit, unlike the Judge walkoff. In this case the tying run was on second with an open base, whereas Judge was the tying run at the plate, but the situations were similar and Bautista/Adley handled it much better.

      Yes last night really underscored the importance of even a 6 inning start. Makes BP management a lot easier!  And more effective.

      That’s the worst you got?  I’m in the car listening to the bullpen game, Perez in with a 2-run lead and a runner on.   “There’s a line drive that hits the top of the wall!   (Pause, during which I’m wondering where the runners are following this hit.) ….That’s Naylor’s 8th home run of the year and the score is tied at 5-5.”   WTF?  I literally started screaming in the car.   It’s aggravating enough that Perez gave up that homer, without Melanie misleading me into thinking he hadn’t.  It was so bad that I turned the game off at that point.

      Yeah, I hadn't seen those orange Giants jerseys before. Seems like orange should be an O's thing. I found it irksome as well.

      I agree it’s harder than it looks for sure. If nothing else Melanie proves that because as you’ve stated, in other aspects of the job she’s perfectly fine.    Kevin Brown, to me, has a great feel for the drama of each individual at bat, pitch, game when needed. Yes he has his goofy moments, but when the chips are down in a big spot, he treats the situation with the correct amount of gravitas, as well as excitement if it’s the Os doing something good. (Obvious exception is during the innings where they are doing a booth interview). His calls of big plays these last couple years are memorable, whether it’s a play at the plate, big HR, huge Mullins catch, big strikeout, etc. He also talks about each at bat pitch by pitch, speculating about what the pitcher is going to do, and leading the analyst to give his thoughts (particularly good paired with Ben for this - in fact a lot of Ben’s improvement is down to working with Kevin). He’s really good and I think maybe a little under appreciated here. There’s a reason he’s getting National work, even if it’s on lower profile games/sports for now   Melanie just sounds like she’s chatting with friends in her seat at the game, with the game itself secondary to whatever she’s talking about. Zero feel for the drama of a big moment. Zero feel for any moment that doesn’t involve Jim Palmer and pancakes.

      Just to pile on here, so grateful for that OH poster's tip to switch to the synchronized radio feed for audio alongside the video feed in the MLB.TV app! Refreshing to hear the radio PBP which I haven't experienced much since my transistor-radio youth.
