Ugh. Another ugly looking play. You better hit the cover off the ball if you are going to make highlight reel bad plays every couple of weeks 

He’s starting to come around at the plate, but he’s not this bad defensively. Don’t hold me to that if it continues.

Yeah, I choose to believe the scouting over what I have seen from him defensively this month. That said, yikes.

You're old.  I was wonder whether anyone would pick up on that.  I remember Curt too.

A lot of people on the OH remember those teams!

Delayed effect of ball on head.

I remember Clank, but he did give us 10.7 WAR in his first three years. If DJ can contribute that, he's worth starting overall.

"Hey Curt, want to go in and pick out a new glove?" Paraphrase of Frank Robinson to Cur Blefary as the O's bus passed a dump in New Jersey.

Maybe he should try catching with two hands, or perhaps slow pitch softball

I have been 100% consistent since the day he was drafted that he is not a ML outfielder

Slow, with no arm, and not able to  catch popups is no way to go thru life son.

You are certainly consistent.  No one questions that.

I don't think he's slow.

Man, the day you post something positive is the day a unicorn will fart out a rainbow.

I am very positive and a supporter of Santandar, Mancini (as a 1B), Nunez (as a DH), and even hold out hope for Ruiz

I like Villar, Alberto, and hold out hope that Richie Martin can be a league average SS

I am pretty positive about us getting another 1:1 or 1:2 draft pick next year.  Does that count?

Yeah, he’s not slow. Didn’t he over run the ball he took off his face?

Poor DJ has provided a lot of ammunition to his critics the last few weeks.    

I’ll just say this.    The guy has played about 400 games in the outfield in the minors.    I’ll defer to the people who have watched him a lot down there, rather than putting too much weight on a couple of clumsy plays he’s made during his brief time in the majors. But I’ll certainly admit that he hasn’t looked great out there in the 25 games he’s played the OF in the majors.  Let’s hope he gets his act together.

Hey, if he can get through this and be productive next season - which I think is a reasonable expectation, I see him as being a fan favorite.  There's clearly no question about his effort out in the field, and he has some ability - being a former 1st rounder who had a very good season in AAA.  .

In Frederick and Bowie, I always thought his bat was a lot better than his defense. He left a lot to be desired.
