I don't know what any of ya think of Mike Bacsik, but a month or so ago he was saying he thought Mazara was not a ML outfielder and needed to be a DH only.

I don't at all agree with this. What do y'all think?

Bacsik is a douche.

Gomez told Raymond before the game he was gonna hit a HR today. Guess he was "cautious" in his prediction.

got ya down.....As a person, he's obviously got his share + of problems. But I kind of like his banter on the Fan.

He seems like a bully to me, from a personal standpoint.

to answer your original question, Mazara isn't an ideal OF, but imagine the thinking is his bat will more than make up for his shortcomings on defense.

Cheerios having a good game also.

This guy has shocked me, and just seems to rise to the occasion whenever the occasion presents itself.

How many of ya, thought (1) He was ever a front line catcher? Or even an adequate backup? (2) A clutch/power hitter? (3) A leader on/off the field?

I said I'm shocked up front. My vote is cast.

He has really surprised me. He is really having a good year. Never thought him and Lucroy would be in the lineup at the same time. But it has worked really well.

I remember hearing early this season that in 2016, if you took his numbers and spread them over a whole season, he would have approached 30 HR. I was surprised.

I remember several were critical of Chirino when we signed Lucroy. I was not one of them.

I guess this team is going to fight for a wild card no?

I doubt we see them blow it up as much as some people would like. I still want to see Lucroy traded for whatever we can get.

With you on Lucroy. I think were buyers at this point.

Ten rough road games starting tomorrow in NY. This may be the answer to which direction we take in the buy/sell mkt.

Now that bats seem to be mostly healthy, it should look like this going forward based on the numbers

Vs. LHPs
C - Chirinos (OPS of 1.011 against LHPs)
1B - Napoli (.827)
2B - Odor (.396, ew)... should maybe consider Kozma actually, he can't be any worse honestly
3B - Beltre/Gallo (.833/.851)
SS - Andrus (.744)
LF - Deshields (.763)
CF - Gomez (.593)
RF - Choo (.658 but a .387 OBP)
DH - Beltre/Gallo (.833/.851)

Bench: Mazara (.633), Lucroy (.725), Kozma (.705)

Maybe Mazara in LF and Deshields in CF if you're willing to sacrifice some defense

Vs. RHPs
C - Lucroy (.673)
1B - Gallo (.811)
2B - Odor (.738)
3B - Beltre (.803)
SS - Andrus (.779)
LF - Mazara (.848)
CF - Gomez (.866)
RF - Choo (.886)
DH - Pick someone - Chirinos (.727), Deshields (.680), Napoli (.649)

If Deshields played it would be LF with Mazara in RF and Choo at DH, but hopefully you get the point

Everyday players --> Andrus, Beltre, Gallo, Choo, Odor (mostly for lack of other options)

I'm going to be disappointed if we are buyers. This team isn't set up to do anything in October, and it'd take quite a bit to get it to that point.

Not to mention the standings..... it feels like we could only realistically compete for a wild card.
