Valbuena

[Dtwncbad]

Question for now is do we want Valbuena in the lineup and my guess is most would say 100% yes.

Bigger question for next year. .  Have you seen enough potency in his bat to go into 2018 with him as the regular 3B (spend money on other position upgrades), or are you in the camp that says 3B must still be resolved for 2018 with something more stable and reliable?

Might depend on who is available and what we can do at 1b and 3b in the offseason....We sign Moose and he isn't going to play 3b....

I imagine his OBP is probably close to .350 since July 1.

It's got Ghost Pujols beat by a country mile.

OBP since 7/1 is .300

since 7/14 (ASB): .327

OPS is .979 in 2nd half

Thanks Fletch..

That post-ASB OBP still looks good, compared to Pujols.
