Is Maybin still on the team? With a lefty starting for the Reds yesterday they decided to start Revere. They were off on Monday so....

Last time I checked he's starting today with the rest of the "varsity" .vs the Rangers.

I like how posters in this thread are using their spring training practice to be ready for the start of the season when they really let it rip. Good job!

ST performance has value ... it's hard to turn it on and off like a faucet once the season starts. Building confidence going into the season is a good thing.

We are nearing the point when spring stats begin to become predictive of in-season performance. If Maybin continues to struggle up until opening day I will be concerned.

I don't know that there is any predictive value in ST stats, but I definitely pay more attention the final week to ten days of ST than early on when batters are facing Jimmy Bagadonuts from AA Scranton.

There was an article last year on maybe fan graphs that looked at spring training stats and found that the last week+ worth of games is about as predictive of in season performance as any regular season week would be. So yes, not really reliable, but also not something that should be written off or dismissed out of hand.

Same.  I also tend to put more emphasis on stats for guys battling for positions because they should be hitting the ground running from the start of spring.

Yep...  I always try to distinguish veterans from young guys when talking about ST stats.  Different standards IMO.

Pujols was red hot in ST in 2012 for us, slashing .383/.437/.850 with 7 home runs and 20 RBI. In the month of April when games counted, he hit .217 with ZERO home runs (.304 slugging pct).

I'm on board with the Maybin trade ... tyvm

He is, but we won't sign him because AO can't give him a good nickname.

Good to see you at it again Bruce.

[Richard]

2 walks, RBI and a SB(4) so far today.

Revere also hit a 3 run bomb in the other game.

Revere is 2-2 with a walk and bomb. He also stole his 4th base as well. 

Eppler has made LF great again!

Those guys are a dime a dozen.

I imagine if I said 'Jeff Mathis suckage' when he was on the team ... no one would care.

We would have rated that a 5 star thread!

I look at the pitching line for every game. You can learn alot about a pitcher's command. I check for hits/innings pitch, walks and strikeouts. Of course these numbers don't apply to veterans with a good track record. That said it is still only ST.

There is one nickname...he is Doughnutty.

Named after a popular H.B. donut shop called Donuttery.

Revere is usually mediocre if not terrible in Spring Training - the only other time he's put up a ST line even remotely close to this production was .... last spring. Which was the worst MLB season of his career.

I'm very happy having him on our team but I'm not annointing him anything yet.

Maybin 3 at-bats 3 K's

I'm sure glad he snapped out of his slump.
