Austin Hays

I'm surprised no one has done this yet.

Back to Hays, is he overrated?  I mean 0-5 with 2 K's (swinging) and a dropped fly in right?  Chance Sisco has a 2B and home run in two AB's!

Really? It's 5 ABs, you need 60 before even strikeout rate starts to stabilize.

I was joshing, of course.  He looks pretty good out there - solid arm and foot speed.  He gets to play CF in da Bronx, chase down doubles in the gap and make sliding attempts in his first experiences!  I am excited to watch him play next year.

I was hoping you were kidding, but there is a reactionary tendency amongst posters here from time to time.

Shocker.    Has Keith Law ever said anything positive about the Orioles?

He said he was positive the Orioles were terrible.

Hays is starting in CF, no Jones tonight hitting 9th. With LHP tomorrow and Sunday is it possible 3 games straight?

Now watch, people will complain that he's not higher in the batting order.

I'm glad he's getting a shot tonight.

Well..... they have a point. 

I am curious how he handles CF.

Not much offense from Hays yet, but he displayed his strong arm tonight.

At least he is getting a ton of at bats. 2 tonight.

And against quality MLB hurlers...love the gloveless batting style!

At this point Hays, Santander, and Sisco, along with Mancini should get regular starting time.

Someone else used to hit that way. Not so much anymore.

Tim Beckham SS
Manny Machado 3B
Jonathan Schoop 2B
Adam Jones LF
Trey Mancini 1B
Welington Castillo C

Chance Sisco DH
Santander RF
Austin Hays CF

That is my thought for a lineup.
