I know batting average isn't a thing these days, but I'd like to see someone hitting better than .260 when there is no reason to hurry.

Given that his strikeout rate is down to 23.6%, I think his .260 batting average can be at least partially attributed to bad luck. He has a .293 BABIP which is a little low for a player who hits the ball hard and isn't a total oaf on the base paths.

I wouldn't give him a Mountcastle comp only because his plate discipline and patience is much better but his bat to ball skills aren't as good.   But his overall offensive game might be equivalent if things go well.

 

Here's a fun fact, Mountcastle is only 13 months older than Stowers. Mountcastle was 24 last year in the big leagues.

There's no doubt that getting drafted out of HS gets you to the majors quicker than going to college.

I’m hoping his floor is Luke Scott with much better defense. Scott was also very streaky.  Bat Stowers 6th just like Scott. A streaky bat can carry a team for a week. 

I’d say Scott, with better defense and perhaps better health, would be a good ceiling case.   Scott was a very good offensive player despite a middling BA.

Josh H. Smith from the Gallo trade this week became the first 2019 2nd rounder to make the Show....Stowers still looking in good shape to be near the front of that group debut-wise, like you'd expect with a college bat.

Stowers 2022 International League K% rate of 24.0 today is right next to Jarren Duran, who has scuffled with striking out a good deal in his first cups of coffee.    The only way out is through.

Stowers is slashing .333/.433/.708/1.141 in his last ten days over 30 PAs. 
He's slashing .302/.384/.698/1.082 in his last 30 days over 99 PAs.

He's 24 years old. It's time for him to get major league PAs. He's going to strike out a ton at first, but I'd rather him see major league pitching this year than next.

How are you going to make room for him to play?  Right now we are sitting one of the OF, DH, or 1B to get Rutschman DH at-bats.  Do you trade Mancini or Santander?

Move Austin Hays to 3B.  😐

Wait for Hays or Santander to go on the IL?    Can they both get through the same season without it?

I think you have to see what you can get for Santander or Mancini now. Waiting is not going to bring up their value.

Today Fangraphs Playoff Odds give 18 of the 30 Clubs chances of 10% or better, they have 36 1B/DH positions.

Today Trey Mancini's 138 OPS+ is 9th out of 37 counting the 36 guys B-Ref considers 1B/DH starters for those teams, plus him.

Notable (sub) Replacement Level Killers:

Red Sox 1B, White Sox DH, Guardians DH, Astros 1B, Mariners DH, Braves DH, Brewers DH

      Adley's health this season

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      Adley's health this season

      By Witchy_Chick · Posted

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
