[wildcard]

In the first half:

DH

Name          Hits  for  AB      OPS

Adley              20 for 70      889

Santander       24 for 100    709

Mountcastle    9 for 29      920

OHearn             9 for 27     1061

Gunnar             9 for 26      1030

McCann            6 for 23       640   

Urias                2 for 6        833

Hays                2 for 5     1000

Hicks                1 for 7       393

Mullins             0 for 4      200

Frazier             0 for 2         000

McKenna        0 for 1        000

Maybe its not a good idea to DH Santander, Hicks or  McCann.

Interesting. Santander will need to improve if he wants to stay here. 

[ChosenOne21]

Santander maybe not. Definitely not McCann and that's because he's not a great hitter. I'm not comfortable making that call on Hicks based on seven at bats.

Those numbers mean nothing.

To you.

The only ones with any real statistical significance are Adley and Santander, and those are still pretty small sample sizes.  Are you really going to say Hicks shouldn't DH based on 7 ABs?

You probably should have expanded the stats to multiple years.

You are talking to Wildcard.

Of course he's going to give significance to 7 at bats.

Looks like Gunnar should be DHing every day.

Who would you want to replace him with on the infield?

I was being sarcastic.

No I am not saying that.   Just passing on the stats as they are.

At the end of the day I really think and hope Santander will be the main DH down the stretch and in the playoffs.

You literally said that it wasn't a good idea to DH Hicks after posting the stats

I was going to post just that - Adley and Santander being the only two with significant sample size.

Here's the one thing I think we can draw from this:  the Orioles don't want a full time DH, they want to rotate people there so they can give breaks from fielding, fiddle with matchups and set up pinch hit scenarios.  So unless the reincarnation of Don Baylor walks through the door, we should expect the aggregate.

Well I don't think a 100 sample is the same as 7.    And Hicks and Santander are  veteran players so looking as more than one year is a good idea and more than OPS.   

I posted all of DH numbers for this year.  If someone wants to go further they should. 

Santander numbers would give me pause before putting him at DH.   Hick is just something to watch.

Do I think Hyde will stop putting Santander at DH.   Probably not because he is trying to get him off his feet, out of the outfield but keep him in the lineup.
