Ramon Urias 2022

[Pushmonkey]

When do we start being concerned about his lack of production?

[NCRaven]

April is too early.

I agree plus no one really to take his place.  Owings and Gutierrez need to go first. 

[Pushmonkey]

Can’t hit. Can’t throw.

He's playing out of position. Just not a 3B. He doesn't even have a good arm for 2B.

I think his bat will be fine though.

Why want KG playing after a clutch hit? His d is stellar, if he can only get his bat going and when he does, they don’t play him? Maddening. Urias is not a 3b. SS/2b. I think his bat will come around, not terribly worried there. More worried about these daily lineups and why Owings is still here. Play KG at 3b and bring up Nevin to platoon.

Agreed. Again, why was KG not playing tonight?

Because Of Odor. The errors on defense don’t happen tonight if Urias is playing 2B and Gutierrez 3B. 

[NCRaven]

Because he pitches for the Blue Jays now.

I'd rather Gutierrez than Odor, but neither can hit. 

Sadly, there are no ML-caliber 3B on the roster and the options at AAA don't look that great either. Hopefully Westburg will be ready next April.

Nevin has been playing 3b and at least he can hit.

Nevin had an OPS of .700 last year.  Not exactly a banner season.  And just because he's playing 3B at AAA doesn't mean he's a capable third baseman.

I mean I'd rather see him than Odor but I'd rather see just about anyone than Odor.

I think Urias would be better served locked into a position. 2B or SS and leave him be all season, or at least most of the season with typical days off. I know it's just opinion but I think some players perform better when they have their assignment in place.

 

This team is already challenged from a talent stand point...but playing musical chairs because of a below level veteran does nothing to improve the day to day.

[Sports Guy]

He’s a second baseman.  That’s where he should be.

He has always hit, so that will come but you need to put him at second and leave him alone.  He doesn’t have the arm for the left side of the IF.

No he can’t. He was sub .700 OPS at Norfolk last year. He’s never slugged above .400 outside of A ball. Just because his daddy could hit, doesn’t mean he can.
