I see your point, but I can wait until September to see Stewart again. I'd rather see Mullins, or even McKenna.

Stewart is red hot right now, having the best year of his MiL career.    I’d rather see him than Trumbo for sure.    

Mullins, after not hitting at all here, has been very mediocre in AAA.   McKenna is struggling big time in AA.

It sucks, because we really do need a CF.

But Stewart had a bad series in Louisville.

Yes, I was more attracted by their defense. Too bad on McKenna. I thought he may be the answer.

Still only 7 homers for Stewart though and below .280. Trumbo could hit that many in a week

Not terrible, but it was really cold and I guess I had a bad attitude.

Trumbo has never hit 280 in the majors.

Stewart has a 399 OBP.

[orioles22]

Stewart has never hit .280 in the minors.

I hope I'm wrong and he's a Hall of Famer - nothing personal, just not a fan.

I'm pretty sure he's not a hall of famer.

But I think that 2019 Stewart is better than 2019 Trumbo.

[orioles22]

Maybe. I think Trumbo would hit more than 7 homers at Norfolk by now, even injured, but it doesn't matter a whole lot at this point.

I'd give Trumbo a few weeks to see what he can do. That's all I'm saying.

Trumbo had the 2nd highest OPS on our team last year, behind only Manny.

If he had come into this year healthy it wouldn't have been a shock if he led our team in OPS.

[Just playing a little devil's advocate.   I'm not thrilled with him worsening our logjam situation anymore than you are].

And Stewart still put up a superior rWAR in a fraction of the games.

Stewart is better than Smith and Mancini in the outfield, Trumbo is worse than both.

What’s wrong with 7 homers in 38 games?    That’s a 30-homer pace over the length of a major league season.

But in any event, Stewart is one of these guys whose main skill is just getting on base a lot, with some pop.   His BA isn’t going to wow you, and his power is solid, but not Trumbonian (see what I did there?).  Of course, he’s a much better fielder than Trumbo, which is to say, he’s in the upper 90% of all outfielders.   

[orioles22]

If Stewart ever hits 30 homers in a MLB season, I will buy a jersey or something. I'm sure he is a better fielder.

I’m not saying he will.   He seems more like an 18-25 kind of guy.   But at OPACY, you never know.

Stewart can play the outfield and Trumbo is purely a DH. I am not sure why we are comparing them.

Also Stewart is currently hitting .289.
