PressBox: D.J. Stewart Thinks He Could Help

[Frobby]

Another homer for Stewart last night.    Nice to see him looking a little more comfortable at the plate.  Up to .200/.304/.550.

Funny how we see it time and time again, a players HR numbers boost a little going from Norfolk to OPACY. 

How has his defense looked?

Low bar, but better than Mancini.

I think he should be up on Opening Day next year and given every chance to see what he's got. Can't hurt anything. Not a prototypical player but has the potential to be a piece.

I knew that if he hit some dongs the OH would change their mind about him!

Like an actual outfielder.

His homer yesterday was at Yankee Stadium, which for a LHB is even better than OPACY.   Actually, OPACY has had a slightly pitcher-friendly park factor the last two years, at least on B.B.-Ref’s flavor.    But certainly more hitter-friendly than Norfolk.

Interestingly - Robertson has a 0.75 xFIP at home vs lefties with just 12 HA to 31 Ks.

I was never out on him to begin with. I think that was actually the first post I've made about him in about two years.

His OPS is .940

Sorry, was talking about you specifically.

He’s got “Fat guy” wheels. 

Mullins, Stewart, and Villar, are a pretty fun inning to watch.

And this is the kind of thing that will help the O's sell tickets next year. These guys.
