Why isn’t Stowers here?

[sportsfan8703]

Let’s say the OPS difference for the rest of the season is .125 OPS points if we play Vavra at 2B, and Stowers at DH/OF. 
 

Is that worth messing with our pitcher’s when none of us even know how they’re being held together. 
 

Risk vs Reward here.

FWIW, it looks like Elias is at the Tides game this afternoon. Clearly him in the blue polo IMO.

Hopefully he wasn't getting a hot dog when Stowers just hit that double.

Who do you think comes off the roster if you had to guess? 

Nevin if I had to guess.

I wouldn't complain, but it would be pretty weird to carry 6 outfielders.

Not when there are better options available.  Nevin shouldn't be playing anywhere over Vavra.  

Nevin fills in at 3B….Vavra doesn’t have the arm

In what world does a .244/.324/.413/.736 AAA slash line in 559 PAs and a .251/.345/.399/.744 in 540 AA PAs translate to a near .800 OPs hitter in the major leagues? 

Nevin is not a good major league hitter nor does he bring value defensively at 3B. Your fascination with him and McKenna (who has proved who he is and what's he's not) boggles my mind.

Please see his minor league OPS .785 and average .275. I didn’t cherry pick …I just used his minor league totals.

Odor.

Odor can’t play 3B …he’s mostly mediocre at 2B

To me these numbers suggest he will be a pretty poor MLer. His OPS is boosted by lower minors totals.

Well sorry to say this, but you showed your complete and utter ignorance of how to use statistics to judge how a player MAY do in the major leagues.

You don't think Odor can play 3B as well as Nevin?

The rumors of Santander taking some throws at first would help to mitigate this concern.........a little bit anyway.

Exactly. Nevin goes definitely.
