I think they were a tad bit negative, as we’ve seen with Jones and a few other players across MLB. His defense is average at best 

I think that defensive metrics tell us very little. But I think Trey was not a good outfielder. But he's going to the right better this season. so maybe there is progress.

For the record, the Cubs won 71 games the season immediately before Theo was hired.   So they were 10 games worse than before his first year with the Cubs.   He took payroll from $136 mm to $86 mm, th

Mancini isnt a bad player but he has almost no value in todays game. He clearly isn't an outfielder and doesnt have enough power for 1B or DH. Im not buying into the BB rate for 2018 and the power numbers have gone in the wrong direction.

He's useful enough while he isn't making a lot of money.

I'm not the most knowledgeable baseball fan (hence my confusion I suppose)...but why do some of you think he doesn't add value to this team/want him gone at some point?

I know he's a below-average left fielder (blocked at first by Davis, which is his natural position), and I know that he doesn't have great power...but Mancini has shown to be a hitter. The guy makes good contact and gets on base. Is it really a huge deal that he doesn't crush home runs regularly? If a guy hits, teams find a way to get him in the lineup. Especially considering that we have too many guys who swing for the fences and strike out a ton.

Gary Thorne said that Trey Mancini is tied with J.D. Martinez for 2nd place in the American League with 18 opposite-field hits.

That sounds like a pretty good sign for a guy that has been in the lead-off position for most of the season so far.

Mancini’s OK, he’s just not as good as some here seem to think he is.  Right now he has a .754 OPS and has been worth -0.4 rWAR this year.   That isn’t good.    I think he’ll hit better than that, but probably sub-.800 OPS, and I think at this point he is what he is as a LF.

I don't think he should be blocking actual outfielders if they are ready.

I hope what he is as a LF is a future first baseman. I also hope to have by the end of the season a clearer impression of how he'd do there.

      Ryan O’Hearn 2024

      By joelala · Posted

      Agree I’d love to see Rhino get some more run against lefties (especially cuz I have him on my fantasy team) but I don’t see it unless Mounty or god forbid Adley gets hurt.

      Ryan O’Hearn 2024

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Maybe he has but part of this team reminds of the Weaver era, where Earl knew his teams strengths and knew how to put them in roles where they could succeed. This Administration has found a good spot for Ohearn, for me don't mess with it, if its righty he starts, if not great match up bat off the bench.

      The best development of 2024 so far?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Here’s my top 10: 1. Gunnar to MVP levels, crushing lefties and potentially even improving at SS 2. Westburg to all-star levels 3. Bradish completely healthy (knock on wood) 4. Cowser to above-average regular levels 5. Ryan O’Hearn to ??? levels? Still absurdly high xwOBA 6. Cole Irvin settling into a solid rotation guy rather than swing man, potentially more 7. No steps back for Cano and Coulombe anchoring the pen 8. Cade Povich step forward, potentially already pushing for a rotation spot 9. Mountcastle mini-breakout, putting him as more of a solid/plus regular than borderline platoon guy, with 2 years of control after this one given we need the righty bat and not sure who the first baseman “of the future” will be 10. Plenty of others worthy (Suarez, Webb, Akin, Means, Mayo, Kjerstad), but I’ve already convinced myself Kade Strowd is going to be the next out-of-nowhere bullpen guy to emerge and be a big part of the pen by end of year

      Are we willing to admit how good our rotation is yet?

      Agreed completely!

      This rotation has a chance to be special. I’m always thinking slightly negative though so I worry about Bradish and Means health, and can Irvin continue? With Irvin it’s less of a concern because they could put him in the bullpen, but with injuries I think he will be needed.

      You are right. But I left that unstated because I figured most people inherently understand that we all employed to earn money. No matter how much, most people want to make the most that they are able to.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Hardy had excellent hands and had all of the requisite skills in terms of foot quickness and the "athletic" movements that you need to be a very good defender at SS. However, he was a very slow runner on the Orioles (I can't speak to what he was on the Brewers because I don't recall watching him much when he was there). On the base paths or if they were to race, I would bet Westburg would win by a good/safe margin. And yes Westburg so far, has shown himself to be a much better hitter because he can use all fields. I love his approach as he competes every AB and rarely gives away ABs. He is what has classically been referred to as "a tough out". JJ Hardy was a straight pull hitter/power hitter and rarely hit the ball to the right side of second base. Most of his hits and especially mostly all of his power was to left field. He really struggled with pitches that were away from him (outside corner/outer part of the plate).
