Pheasants Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Maybe this would be the time to see if Mancini can be a productive hitter while dhing unlike Trumbo, who hit much better when playing in the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonySoprano Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 The recent hot streak has put Trey's power numbers on a par with 2017AB/HR 2017 543/24 =22.63 2018 471/20 = 23.55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTO's Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 He should not step foot in the outfield again in his career. Very solid player as a DH/1B and easy to root for but I have no faith in him having much value if Buck is still the manager and still putting him in the OF.

Since not having to pretend that he is a left fielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way, even if I over stated Mancini in his comparison to Tim, who's to say I'm absolutely wrong...we don't know what the future will bring. Its still only his second full season, and Trey could get stronger, smarter as a hitter and become a 30 HR a year guy. If Im wrong....who cares? SUE ME. I actually think we see more than one 30 HR seasons from Mancini. His 162-game pace in his career is 27 so it's not unrealistic to think he goes to 31 or 32 a couple times. That said, 30 HRs today is more like 20 HRs of yesteryear. The pop with a career .323 OBP still leaves him as a solid-to-good hitter at a position where you really need to be well above average with the bat to offer real value. I think, ultimately, with Mancini we have a solid 6-hole hitter on a good team. That's not great, but certainly has value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think Salmon was an extremely good player. Maybe a little underappreciated because he played on the West Coast, but consistently very good. Better than Adam Jones. Better than Nick Markakis. Better than BJ Surhoff. Better than Brady Anderson. That level of good. And Trey Mancini will not be nearly as good as those guys. I’d be pleased if he had a career as good or better than Luke Scott’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, 4 is better than 8.5, especially if you have a 10 WAR player, then thats 85 million per year which is stupid, then again 40 million is stupid too. IMO I was referring to what I thought Fangraphs had declared as their idea of what what 1 WAR should cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
