OK vocabulary police

How about shitty outfield, is that better?

I'm not critiquing you on this one. I'm questioning Trade Rumor's statement that the outfield is depleted when only one OP outfielder is on the DL and he's the worst producing one of the bunch but is needed to fix the outfield.

No worries. Just wanted to make it clear our outfield is 2/3 shitty.

How much longer before we decide Crawford is not a good hitter?

 

[msgkings322]

AJAX!!! Dude heard me ripping him LOL

 

[calsnowskier]

And of course Hanson comes up lame. Why wouldn’t he?

 

[Hangman]

Who is going to be called up now for 2nd?

His numbers aren't too dissimilar to 2013. Right now, his career is having quite the bell curve. This means his numbers will continue to move downward in the next two seasons.

How much lower can they go from a .650 OPS and still keep starting?

Good question. Gomez is on the 40 but he's not doing too well at AA. D'Arnaud is available in Sacramento but he's not on the 40. I don't know if the Giants would be willing to move Panik to the 60 if needed.

It depends on how elite his defense is. I haven't been able to watch him enough to know if he is still worth starting.

I think you have to include Mac in that mix. In that sense, it's depleted.

It's starting to be a problem IMO

And Mac is the guy needed to complete the outfield, not Pence.

Who replaces him?

Slater too?

Fuck if I know

 

[calsnowskier]

I can’t stand the high-pitched “whooo” cheer. Bugs the shit out of me.

 

[msgkings322]

Come on Cutch!

Slater too?

Slater was sent down. Not sure that counts.

Since when did Kontos throw 97? Am I misremembering his time here or is the gun in Pit "hot?"
