I think you are kidding:) ha ha

Seriously though, I want to see what Davis looks like in RF. I think he will be good.

I agree. He played a few games there a couple of years ago, and I was very impressed. He's certainly got the arm for RF.

I am curious as to the rationale for this. Is it some weird defensive platoon where they think CD will be better in RF with a LHP (Chen)? Just a one-off to give Parmelee some reps at 1B and CD in RF?

Probably more this. Davis has shown himself to be capable there before.

I can imagine this phone conversation right now...

Boras: When are you moving Davis back to 1B? You could cost him millions of dollars out there.

Duquette: Right after DJ signs.

Haha!!! Thats a win! I cant stand Boras.

The man is a genius, I tell ya! Stacking that lineup with some slow-moving lefty thumpers! :clap3:

Hooray for big slow guys playing the outfield.

Why do people think Davis is not a freak athlete. Only lough, jones, machado and reimold may be faster.

And boras is probably loving Davis in the OF. Makes his value go way up.

Hope he kills it like he did in 2012 when Markakis went down.

Davis can't play first for a while -- his glove is in the shop for repairs.

      Time Gunnar's triple

      Oh, I don't know. I thought when accusing someone of wild malpractice over possibly, maybe, slightly speeding up highlights that kind of opened the door to a little goofy exaggeration.

      The A's Series

      By interloper · Posted

      I was going to post something about this after reading about that on MLBTR this morning. That gives me a lot of hope for Bradish if this kid can come back from a UCL sprain and throw 103. Obviously, reliever vs. starter so who knows. But uplifting to read nonetheless.

      Hollocher hit almost exclusively 2nd in the order. The Cubs' 3rd hitters (and it was the Cubs, not the Indians as I previously stated) were mostly Marty Krug, Zeb Terry, and John Kelleher. Krug was awful for a 1922 3rd-place hitter, with an 83 OPS+ in his only season as a MLB regular, but he only struck out 43 times in 524 PAs. Terry was worse, OPS+ing 74, but with just 16 Ks in 571 PAs. And Kelleher was the worst of the bunch, OPS+ing 60, while striking out 14 times in 222 PAs. Cubs manager Reindeer Bill Killefer stuck hard and fast to the old rule of thumb that the catcher should bat 8th, even if it's Bob O'Farrell and he hit .324 with an .880 OPS. Ray Grimes had a 1.014 OPS and batted cleanup. But Hack Miller and his .899 OPS batted mostly 6th. Statz wasn't a terrible leadoff hitter, was one of only a couple players who had a SB% higher than 50%, but was 6th among their regulars in OBP. That's as bad a bunch of #3 hitters as I've seen in a while, yet the Cubs finished 80-74-2. Just goes to show you batting order doesn't really matter. Anyway, back to the main point... yes, I'm sure some of Hollocher's CS were busted hit-and-runs. But nobody that regularly batted behind him struck out in even 7% of PAs so they shoulda been putting the ball in play the vast majority of the time.

      4/25: Bowie Wins, Only Team Above .500

      By Frobby · Posted

      How many people actually said they were one of the greatest teams ever?   They did hit the snot out of the ball the first 9 games of the year, mostly in a 6 game series in a very hitter-friendly ball park against a bad pitching staff.  That said, they’re still second in the league in runs per game.  Their pitching has been problematic, yielding 6.50 runs per game.

      Gunnar’s base running is in the 99th percentile.  That mess is in the 98th percentile.

      Speculating on how the O's handle the pitching logjam

      By interloper · Posted

      Yeah, the highlighted section here is really why I agree that the O's will look to minimize losing players to waivers just yet. Things could blow up on them pretty quick. There's a ton of risk with these moves, but they have to find out. The best way to do that is to utilize the options for Akin and Tate, IMO. We'll see!
