If I remember correctly Hill completely shut them down in that 1-0 Sunday game. I'm sure this vaunted line up will do much better

Gunnar OPS vs LHP         .488

Gunnar OPS vs LH SP     1.087

 

Not hard to figure out is it?

That is exactly why I wouldn't be sitting him against LHP.

He needs reps against them, not consigned to the bench.

Is he going to learn how to hit LHP on the bench?

All these 'defending of the lineup due to splits' would hold a bunch more validity if the players taking the spots weren't named Aguilar, Chirinos and Nevin.  They suck and I'd rather see Henderson, Adley and Stowers at the plate,  even with the poor split numbers.

Agreed. At this point in addition to trying to win the next 8 games, how is he going to learn how to hit lefties for when he is an EVERYDAY player?

I don't come around much, and am sure this has been discussed somewhere... At any rate, throwing this out there:

Gunnar has 104 PA's. If he stays under 130 PA's, he remains eligible for ROY next season. (He will be under 45 days of roster time either way - the other requirement.)

ROY - who cares, right? Well, players with 1) less than 60 days of service time, 2) who make 2 Top Prospect lists, and 3) earn a full season of service time - trigger draft pick compensation (a pick after Round 1) if they win ROY.

Folks have already projected out his plate appearances and given his walk rate he doesn't need a day of missed at bats to maintain rookie status.

Once again I'm fine with him getting a day off, I'd just rather it be against a right handed pitcher as I feel more exposure to left handed pitching would be advantageous to his development.

I don't think he's seen anyone like Rich Hill before.

I mean, if he plays the next 7 games, he'll probably break 130. He probably needs to sit 2-3 games, counting today.

OMG.  The guy has played in every single game since he arrived.   He’s probably going to play every day after today.  God forbid he starts a game on the bench against a tough lefty.  How will he ever be prepared for next year?

The cutoff is 130 at bats, not plate appearances.   He won't make that.

    • Trading Holliday could bring back just a number of good players from a number of selling teams.  As an example, if the Padres made Dylan Cease available and they wanted Holliday (though I doubt they would since they have no openings up the middle), the Padres would have to give up more than Cease I think.  It would cost them another player or two. But trading Holliday is silly.  Much better to trade Stowers, Norby and/or maybe Kjerstad, though I feel Elias will instead try to trade further down the prospect order.  
    • Trout to the Orioles doesn't make much sense but Trout to the Phillies does.  They need outfield help pretty badly and it's his hometown team.  
    • Grayson must really be disappointing people on this board. He specifically said he wasn’t hurting strikeouts and was good with early contact to keep the pitch count down. There are many on this board that claim this doesn’t work and strikeouts don’t up pitch counts despite what guys like Palmer say. The defense is that the data doesn’t support Palmer.  This is a data driven org and Grayson is saying this, the odds are very strong that it’s coming from the org and not Grayson just freestyling.       
    • Well, we already have Gunnar for 5 more years and Adley for 4.  So extending them is important but not going to negatively affect 2025.   I'd love to lock them up long term.  We can afford to do that and sign Soto.  That said, I'd only try to sign Soto if we have to trade our entire prospect roster.   I don't know if the Yankees can really afford to break the bank on Soto.  Even their money is finite and theyre already in the 4th tier AND they are paying the 3-year penalty.  They would be paying something crazy like 95 million a year on a 45 million deal.
    • You did not lose me at Holliday for Webb, But Jaun Soto? do you have any idea the cost, but no extension for Adley Or Gunner? And of course the Yankees would let us outbid them.
    • I guess he doesn’t get a video like Holliday
    • I care a lot less than I did last year when I thought the rest was some big advantage.  Now I would be perfectly fine with the first wild card
