Sorry I missed this thread, I was printing my playoff tickets:)

Since he arrived in Baltimore, his swing has shortened some and he has impressed with his bat speed. I liked the bat immediately the first night when he hit a 2B down the left field line at 111 mph. W

In his 138 games, and 598 PA with us, Nunez has put up a 1.9 WAR.

He has an .811 OPS with 13/37 in the 97 games since we’ve acquired him. 317 PA. He’s gotta he in the lineup. 

Surprised there hasn't been more conversation about him. He's up there with the big boys in average exit velocity and hard hit % (Baseball Savant).

Obviously at present he provides no value in the field, but having a cheap mid-20's potentially legitimate DH should generate more excitement than it seems to have. I guess part of the excitement might be dampened because of the present and future logjam of 1b/DH between Davis, Mancini, Mountcastle, but I am looking forward to seeing his development this season.

So what do we really have in this guy?     OK, guys who can’t field  can only be so valuable, especially on a team that has 3-4 guys like that.    But is his hitting legit?   Here’s a guy with a career MiL OPS of .788, .769 in AAA, .500ish in the majors in 72 PA before getting to Baltimore.    But for us, in a bit more than a half-season of games, he’s at .806, and better than that in the early going this year.    Is it sustainable?

Four straight games with a home run. One a pinch hitting appearance. Still can't play defense but he's hitting again. Fourth on the team in OPS+ (I know we're not talking the 27 Yankees) and third if you only count qualifiers. Still has a lot of work to do but he's rebounded nicely after slumping hard.

2 more, and he'll have tied Reggie Jackson and Chris Davis for the all-time franchise record (1901-Present.)

      Re: pinch hitting for Mullins…Rays had lefty warming in the pen so PH O’Hearn is same side match up, so with Os leading at the time, I agree with Hyde saving OHearn for pinch hit appearance later in the game if needed.  Re: DC in the 8th, I agree with you there.  More so bc Tate threw 14 pitches yesterday and threw 8 today in the 7th inning already.  Why have him go multiple innings in two consecutive days?

      I'm sure that if he had golfed it into the outfield for an RBI single you'd still be saying that.

      There is a question whether he would have to give them permission to send him down based on his service time.  They are going to give Cedric more chances to come out of this funk until the All Star break as long as they keep winning.

      Yeah. I think the Ronald Guzman experience is going to be over after today's game. One hit, three walks, an error, a wild pitch, and one out recorded today. ERA at 30. WHIP at 3.75.

      I’m not better than that remark, which said I thought there was a decent chance this would be his best year.  Everything else I said was correct.  Mountcastle at times drives me nuts with lack of situational awareness.  Comes up today with one out and the bases loaded, one down in the 8th, with a pitcher who’s been struggling with his command.  The very first pitch he sees, he swings at a pitch well below the knees and grounds into a DP, killing the rally.  I know Mountcastle likes to golf low pitches, but he can’t do it in that situation.  Take ball one and make him throw you a pitch you’re more likely to hit in the air.

      He has not been the same since the hamstring injury.   I am not sure what to do with him a trip to dl or even sent down would be best and give Johnson a shot who is hitting in Norfolk could give us a spark short term possibly.

      I think Mullins has options, so the team could demote him to AAA for awhile where he could work on his swing.  I doubt the team would consider it before the break, but the options are there.
