Cedric Mullins 2024

[DirtyBird]

He’s not a good baseball player anymore.

4th OF, at best

Did you think that four days ago?

Feel like this could go in the game thread rather than necessitating its own thread given there was zero analysis given in the OP.

I feel like this subject will be relevant all season.

Sure, then maybe include some rationale behind why you think he's a 4th OF at best or include some statistics that support it rather than just creating a thread for whatever reactionary thought pops into your head.  The latter is what twitter and game threads are for.

Tied for 2nd on the team in HR!

Not sure exactly what is going on here.

It’s an open discussion.

Feel free to contribute.

You're just looking for attention.

I mean, you never get analysis from them.

The obligatory post game player blame reaction thread.

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

Easily the best defensive CF on the roster and provides value even if Mullins doesn’t match his career year in 2021 ever again. Until Enrique Bradfield is MLB ready Mullins is going to be the starting CF.

Similar to Opening Day, Mullins didn't look that comfortable at the plate today, but then put one great swing on the HR. 

I don't think OP is right about Mullins' demise. But also I don't think Ced is ever getting back to his .291 AVG/.360 OBP from his breakout year, or really anything close to that. His settling in as a low OBP, decent power, good defense guy reminds me a bit of early-Orioles-tenure JJ Hardy. Except hopefully still with some SBs.

I have no idea why he and Mateo don't work on bunting for base hits. Show it at least once a game. Make the infield play in and open up the lanes for grounder base hits.

I remember he led MLB in bunt hits the covid season. But it's not really part of his game anymore. And it may not work anymore--his sprint speed dropped from 92nd percentile to 66th percentile from 2020 to 2023.

Cedric is really starting to get hot. He was barreling the ball in Boston and seems he's finding his timing now. If he can keep this up, we're going to be in good shape.
