Late season push towards mediocrity?

 

[tzill]

Bird showing he's not quite clear on the whole SDI thingy.

Late season push towards mediocrity?

Maybe if Chapman hits 30 dingers?

 

[maxrandomness]

And they sweep the cards to close it out

 

[Stokes1931]

Chappy with an inside the park homer
Schmitt with a solo homer
Forto with a solo homer

5-2 G's top 5

 

[Sandisfan]

Nice to see Forto hitting well after it's way too Late in the Season.

 

[maxrandomness]

Yup
padding those numbers!

 

[Stokes1931]

Chappy triples in Forto

6-2

 

[Stokes1931]

Uh-oh. Doval in with only a 3-run lead.

 

[sf1giantfan]

I’m afraid if Forto reaches 20 dingers, FZ will offer a new contract.

"Hey, Forto has been crap for the first 150 games, but have you seen what he's done in the final dozen games?!?"

His numbers are almost identical to Yaz…..both have disappointed

No room at the Inn, I'd think. Ramos, Lee, Yaz (assuming they bring him back), McCray, Carny. LWJ (assuming he comes back) can also play the OF. Matos in AAA, Bishop is there as well. Eldridge can play OF.

I just can't see it.

How exactly has Yaz "disappointed?"

He's had a 2.5 WAR season, which is completely acceptable for a #3 OF. 18 bombs, 113 OPS+.

I mean, what were your expections?

All it takes is 20 dingers and FZ eyes light up.

Spider Day tomorrow...chance to get some coffee.

He wil cost approx 10M next year. A 2WAR player is worth approx 19M per season

No brainer to bring him back.

Did not expect Chapman to hit an inside the park HR ever...plus a triple for good measure lol

FYWW!

Exactly. And he's likely worth a little more than 2 WAR. Even at $8M/WAR, hes a $20M player.
