Argh ......

What else is there to say?  At least they probably won’t spend on Manny when he hits free agency.

In this still very young season, Stanton is batting .197 with 29 Strikeouts in 66 At-Bats (75 Plate Appearances) so far.

I'm not worried about Stanton either, especially since I'm not a Yankee fan. I also specifically pointed out that the season is still very young.

His slow start to the season and his high strikeout rate has been universally noted (particularly by booing Yankee fans on their home field), regardless of the likelihood that it's an overreaction.

Just curious why this thread hasn't been moved to the MLB section...

Stanton's contract is far worse though.

We should probably wait until Stanton is actually providing negative value on his deal before making that declaration. Stanton is the reigning NL MVP and Davis is coming off of providing the Orioles -22.5M worth of value in 2017.

Isn't gloating over Yankee failures a fundamental part of being an Oriole fan?

[Camden_yardbird]

400 strike outs out of your 3-4 hitters is tough regardless of their other production.

Has any team ever had 400 strikeouts combined out of two players back to back in the lineup?

Considering that 200 strikeouts from one player wasn't a thing from 1871-2008 I'd guess not.  Trumbo and Davis combined for 389 in 2016.  Chris Carter and Jonathan Villar combined for 380 on the '16 Brewers. Mark Reynolds and Adam LaRoche combined for 383 in 2010. 

Among the eight 2015 Cubs starters with the most PAs the fewest Ks were Starlin Castro's 91.  Seven teams, including the 2012-14 Braves got 450+ strikeouts from three players.

Besides Schadenfreude and self loathing are two sides of the same coin.

Is he replacing Tillman in the rotation?
