I understand that, I just don't expect him to be a competent defender at 2B.  Range as bad or worse than Schoop without the arm.  I guess they can try it, but that will be his third position change and there will likely be a fourth after that when he fails at 2B.  We also have Villar locking down that position down for the next two years and Mountcastle is less than a year away.  

I haven’t read anywhere his range is below average.

The point is he’s athletic and has good hands/glove action. The only thing lacking has been arm strength and it’s curious as to why they didn’t first move him to 2B (similar angles off the bat) as opposed to 3B.

We know why.

Manny was a free agent after 2018, Schoop wasn't a free agent until after 2019.

To my mind not a good reason but I bet that was it.

Than why did you use the term below average instead of say poor?

 

I consider below average and poor in the same realm.  Not here to argue semantics.  I know you enjoy being petty and it's part of the reason you are able to keep your post count so high. I'll opt not to respond in the future.

I think poor and below average are not the same thing, and as for being petty I don't take pot shots at other posters' post counts.

The constant critiquing of every minor detail in someone's post that you can point fault with gets tiresome.  That's all I'm saying.  I'm not taking a pot shot at your post count.  But I think there is a correlation with the petty critiquing.  Some things are better left unsaid.

I don't think calling someone below average when you mean poor is all that minor a detail.

In this particular instance it makes a significant difference in if I agree with your premise or not.  I'd agree that a poor second baseman is not worth playing despite his bat.  I disagree that a below average second baseman is not worth playing despite a superior bat. 

You are the one that didn't say what you meant and when I question you you decide to call me petty and rip me on my post count.  And then you call me tiresome.

How about you just put me on /ignore than?  If I'm petty and tiresome?

I already clarified how I felt about Mountcastle's defense.  Questioning my original wording on a previous post didn't add anything to the discussion.  Anyways, I made my point.  I'm done.

      2024 Week 6: Ravens vs Commanders

      By Baseball fandom · Posted

      I really hope the Ravens win this one. I hate all Washington teams and always root for them to lose but especially if they are playing Baltimore teams

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I really don’t see the point of trading Mullins, or even Mountcastle for a reliever. We need Mullins definitely, especially with Santander being a FA.  What good is a reliever if you can’t get a lead?  I just don’t like trading everyday players for relievers, especially when we have a good looking pen next year pre deadline, and what reliever would Mounty/Mullins even buy. Would that reliever even be an upgrade over what we already have? At this point, I’m thinking Mounty goes for some sort of RHH COF.

      Grade the Eflin Trade

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We couldn’t have asked for more from the Eflin deal than what we got. 9 starts that kept the rotation afloat to even make the playoffs. Then a “good” playoff start in an elimination game where we had the luxury of going to the pen fast.  It’s always tough giving up prospects, but Eflin did exactly what we needed him to do post deadline.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      There should be one philosophy, and that's what the O's claimed to have. There's just a lot more work to coaching 13 hitters (plus callups) than one person can do. Going through video, coordinating with the data folks, developing a plan, all that stuff. Only so many hours in the day.

      I have no idea why any team would want more than 1 philosophy across the board, especially a young team. Possibly a player's demands or contract calls for his own hitting coach.. but I stand by my wish.

      At cost considerations there is 2 players i'd rather have listed in that article over Crochet, Helsley leading that. Also Mountcastle to the Reds for a SP makes a lot of sense also.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Guilty. I'm working to be intentional to enjoy the day to day of a lot of exciting careers beginning, and not miss the moment as during say Peyton Manning's career in a different chapter of life when assured 14-2 or 13-3 seasons were four months of boredom while you waited to see what the playoff stumble would be this time.    SIGBOT's stuff works in the regular season same as Billy Beane's didn't in the playoffs. I don't follow Over/Unders, but would guess the 2025 Orioles are 1st or 2nd in the AL on early action.    My informal AL power rankings end of 2024: 1. A nonexistent Orioles team with a functional Adley Rutschman 2. Yankees with Soto 3. Tie between actual Orioles with broken Adley and end stage Astros that lost several series to hot Central teams 4. Yankees without Soto 5. Central I'm cheating Cleveland there for a joke, and hope they win, which they are plenty capable of doing.    It is an interesting matchup for the stuff the two teams are good at being very different.
