Eppler should be all over that.

Or, maybe pursue good major league players? Just an idea.

i'm embracing the horror at this point. 
What i want the club to do isnt going to happen within the defined budget so, it is what it is.

You think?  Raw numbers are what you'd expect for a guy his age in that park but his K rate is near 30% and he carries a soft walk rate.  The HR index is 130 for LHB at Albuquerque, a park that makes SLC resemble Angel Stadium.  Consider this -- this guy's wOBA at Albq was .365.  Jabari Blash came in at .461 -- Hermosillo .356..  all of them in the same league and division.

He's left handed and can play some OF but, Eppler went on record as the team needing to improve it's OBP and this guy doesn't really help there.

He’d be as good to have in AAA as Blash was. Maybe he works, maybe he doesn’t, but currently he’d be a fine replacement for 7th OF behind Hermosillo, Bourjos, and whoever we get for 4th OF.

If Eppler did acquire him it would likely be as a platoon option.

OBP vs. RHP -

2016: .393

2017: .348

2018: .371

I have no feelings about him one way or the other but as a cheap add to give us more options to platoon with Pujols at 1B, having Patterson with Jose Fernandez, Matt Thaiss, and possibly Jared Walsh wouldn't be a terrible idea. Hitting the Majors is a different story however so whatever Eppler thinks is best for the team.

He's a peanut no doubt.  But given the roster crunch already in place he doesn't really jump out as an "all over it" type guy.  He's essentially JMF, the OF version.

I'm all for Jenrry Mejia . Take a risk at 1 year 1 million.

[Second Base]

I'm basically viewing him like Jared Walsh, without the ability to pitch.

[AngelStew43]

Strikes out too much.  Pass

I didn’t realize there was a rule that you can only add one more player to your roster before winter was over.

Yes it is a new rule.  Another rule is you must read every post as literal.

Part of addendum 467.34J-9R in the CBA...way to skim over the language Jeff!

It is just my pet peeve whenever people have this sort of silly reaction to any move that is not "the move," as if teams only do one thing at a time.

I'm sure we've all been shopping for a new car at some point. Did you not buy any food or toilet paper or shampoo while you were in the market for a car?

Already today after the Dillon Peters move I have people tweeting at me "this isn't how to keep Trout!"

It's ridiculous.

Nobody buys shampoo they take it from the hotel. In all seriousness...who cares what people say about keeping trout happy. The guy roots for the eagles...I say good riddance

May it be my let peeve that people make this same point a thousand times and constantly interpret a simple lack of enthusiasm for certain yawn minor moves as falsley believing it is the only move?

[Dtwncbad]

Let me point out another pet peeve worthy stupid thing that happens ad nauseum.

Literally any discussion of any trade involving any minor leaguer triggers some clown to say some form of "It would be very stupid to gut the farm right now."

[Dtwncbad]

And how about when the team needs like 3 players, any mention of what it might take to pursue one of the players triggers, "Don't do it.  The team is not one player away."

[Jeff Fletcher]

Let's start a pet peeve thread!

[Dtwncbad]

This should be its own thread. . .your pet peeve in discussing baseball.

How about the so, so fresh "punchline" about Albert really being 45.

I hate when entering the freeway the car in front of me gets all the way to the end of on ramp and almost comes to a complete stop before trying to merge into traffic.
