3rd base
« on: April 18, 2016, 06:13:28 pm »
Valbuena has started 11/12 so far.  Valbuena hit .224 last year, and is hitting .189 this year.   He has 41 plate appearances, meanwhile Marwin has 20.   I'd personally like to see that number flipped.  I think we have a good idea who Valbeuna is, a decent 3rd base option, a solid fielder with some pop who Ks a bunch and isn't good at getting on base.

Meanwhile I think Marwin has a shot of hitting 280+, with 18+homers.  Seems that Marwin's versatility is holding him back, he switch hits and plays multi positions, so he is a great late inning option.

Valbuena is just a placeholder for either Moran or Bregman. He's a free agent at season's end, so I suspect that he has little to no long-term future with the club.

I'm not seeing a lot of current value either.  Whether it's Marwin or Duffy or someone else, they need to plug that hole.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.
