Infield Offensive Production


Pat Kelly

Recommended Posts

From The Sun.    Os record this past week was 4-2.   Ryan Mountcastle, Ramón Urías, Rougned Odor, Jorge Mateo and Terrin Vavra collectively slashed .133/.191/.229 — a .420 OPS — with Mountcastle’s .512 OPS the highest of any of them. The group struck out in 32 of its 89 plate appearances (36%) while walking six times. Mountcastle and Mateo had 19 strikeouts with one walk between them. Not stellar.

You guys are ridiculous. I think you’ve built Henderson up to be something like prime A-Rod and if he struggles the tiniest bit and we don’t get a wild card spot you’re gonna lose your minds. 
 

It’s getting a bit silly at this point. 

Gunnar Henderson = Honus Wagner

Ryan Mountcastle = Jack Cust

Life on the Hangout. 😉

I couldn’t care less what the infield’s offensive stats were over one week of the season.   We faced a lot of good pitching and they had a bad week.  It happens.   

Now, their stats over the whole year, I do care about.  Mountcastle 100 OPS+, Odor 76, Mateo 91, Urias 99.   Mateo and Urias have played plus defense and I’ll live with their slightly subpar offensive production.   Mountcastle isn’t producing right now and I wouldn’t mind lowering him in the order, but he’s capable of getting hot and making up ground in a hurry.   Odor is just a bad hitter, no two ways about it.  We need to bring up Henderson and have Odor sitting at least half the time.

    • Yes that is what happened last year to Adley.  I hope it is not a repeat even though this is someone from the Royals not Rangers where they stuff the ballot boxes and beat him out. Or the Yankees fans who think we are so evil vote for anyone going head to head against us. 
    • And 2 steals. Good enough to put him at .726 OPS and 39 SB through June. Cowser only put up a .795 OPS there. 
    • Both are more of regular season arms. They’re not going to be back end arms in the pen. Suarez wasn’t used like that in his brief stint. He pitches to contact vs hunting for Ks. Both are suited to be regular season SP or bottom half of your pen relievers. 
    • I hope Adley beats out Perez. I believe this is where he lost to Heim last year. Mounty and Westburg will likely lose heads up. 
    • We have an off day to give Mounty an extra days rest. We have an off day next Monday as well with the ASB looming. Mounty is close to making the ASG so I doubt he wants to hit the IL.  Meaning a RP would have to go for Mayo. I think we’re trying to keep Urias this season and move on from him in the offseason. Mayo is on target to be added as our extra player in September unless we have an injury.  It sure would be nice to bring Mayo up and let him get a ton of ABs to be ready for the playoffs.  At the end of the day, what’s worth more?  Urias as an insurance policy that shouldn’t get ABs in the playoffs, or developing Mayo that should get playoff ABs?  
    • When Kremer comes back and if we get a #3 starter, would that help bolster the pen? You can move Suarez and Irvin/Povich into the pen.
    • Those three starts were going against @NYY, @Hou, and Texas. He’s slated to go @Oak with an extra day of rest.  We have to differentiate between regular season SP and playoff SP. Just like how we have to do with regular season RP and playoff RP.  Irvin, Povich, Kremer, and Suarez, are fine options to get you through 162.  Burnes, and Grayson, are our playoff options right now. We need a game 2/3 SP. The playoff RP core looks to be Kimbrel, Cano, Webb, Coloumbe(if healthy), and Perez. It would be nice to add two arms to the playoff RPs.
