The Official 'I love EY Jr.' thread

Remember, EY was signed to a minor league deal....players would have to be dropped or as in this case moved to the 60 day DL to add him to the roster.

 

 

 

So Maybin would have to be released, or ride the bench as part of the 40 man roster?

I'm all for sticking him at 2nd when Trout and Maybin return. At least he adds some speed and a hot bat to the lineup. Espinosa needs to go ASAP

My concern...

He has played 379 games in his career...only 54 as a 2Bman

He played 9.1 innings in 2014 and 14.2 innings in 2013, 43 innings in 2011 and the only significant playing time came in 2010.

REally....release Maybin?

Over the last 30 days, Maybin has an OBP of .414, 2nd only to Trout with guys who played in 20+ games

Maybin's OPS is .853, again 2nd only to Trout for guys with 20+ games played.

But yea, we should cut Maybin loose or let him ride the pine.

Please read the entire thread before coming to the conclusion anyone wants to release Maybin. Young had a great Spring, and Maybin couldn't hit a barn with a Volkswagon. Young went down to AAA, and Maybin the 40 man. I was commenting on why.

Read the whole message processed as you wanted to release Maybin...

Once Trout returns and EY stays hot, our two choices are to sit Maybin or Calhoun, unless EY can handle 2nd

Fake news buddy. I would have wanted Maybin in AAA to start the season, but was informed that would not have been an option. I am not an expert in roster rules, but learning.

Soso left him off the roster after a very good spring training. Maybin did not earn his spot. I realize Maybin turned on the heat the last few weeks, but if EYJ is for real, and was for real on opening day, then we could have been in much better shape offensively so far.

Who left him off the roster? You must not know how this stuff works.

My father called Scioscia Soso (he was not a fan either).

[DropOfAnaheim]

And Mike strikes again. Closers close games.

CJ not Marte.

Once again a GM decision.  But you need Scioscia to be the bad guy because he didn't give you, a grown man, an autograph.  Poor guy.

Got it. Then I was correct in that you don't know how these things work.

You call me a dick and you don't know the difference between what a manager and a GM do.

Its all good Drop of A, you keep doin' what you think is right.

This will make you love EY, Jr. even more...

A 3-4 day pushes his average up to close to .350 in 32 at bats since the call up.

Keep this up and we can be all "Trout who?"

Through 37 plate appearances(small sample size alert), EY has a .323/.432/.516 line with a 167 wRC+. You never want to assume too much from a guy in less than 50 plate appearances, or even 100 for that matter, but he is walking more and striking out less than ever. That alone makes him interesting to monitor because an improved approach with his base running abilities might make him a more attractive 4th outfielder than Ben Revere when everybody is healthy.

Revere has been a disappointment...He could still heat up, I guess....don't really need 5 OF'ers so it will be interesting....long way before Trout is back though....lots could happen...Maybin gets traded, another injury...EY is a good piece to have....

When you see guys make big improvements in walk, strikeout and ISO rates at the same time it's almost always due to an underlined improvement. EY obviously is looking at sample size issues, and he's definitely got some BABIP fortune going on as well, but he could go another 40 PAs without an XBH and still be above his career ISO rate.

He's 32 so maybe you could squint and say he's reaching his prime.
