You don't continue with the everyday playing opportunities unless you have success.
You make is sound like these guys deserved 100 AB's before passing judgments. That's not reality. Marzara last season earned the right, as did Odor after going down for awhile. Frankly, I don't understand a person that blames a coach for a player not taking advantage of the opportunity

Then you should be blaming Banny for continuing to play Napoli, Odor, Mazara, Lucroy, Choo, Prince, Desmond and others for continuing to play them when they went through a bad slump. Either he should stick with guys or he shouldn't. Which is it? He has stuck with some through more than 100 AB and quickly given up on others after a handful of games or even after 2 or 3 bad games. At least one of the two has to be wrong don't they?

I never said 100 AB. Many times it takes more than that.

One in LF and 2 at 2B to this point.

I don't put much stock in AL vs NL when it comes to relief pitching.

Well, if it isn't because of which league he was pitching against then his splits are a significant coincidence. It could be 2 or 3 different factors though I guess.

 

[saddles]

In his rookie season Profar had two extended periods where he played on a regular basis. As far as rookies go he did well in the first stretch and struggled in the second stretch. That seems about right for a rookie starter and especially considering he was 20 years old at the time. Since his rookie season he has only had one stretch where he started in close to 90% of the games played by the team on a 20 game minimum basis. The one time he was given that opportunity he hit .352. His slash line was .352/379/.516.

 

[saddles]

and I don't think Profar's 37 AB's had any effect on the other two. Deshields separated himself is what happened.

When Michael Young was 24 years old he started off the season by hitting .162 in his first 37 at bats. Should he have been benched for someone else?

Former Rangers great Edinson Volquez threw a no-hitter today.

Every once in awhile Evan come sup with a good line.

Good for him. He is one of my favorite ex-Rangers still playing. The 'V" in DVD turned out to be the best of the three it seems.

Thomas Diamond clearly being the worst... yeesh.
