Jays set to add Beliveau

I believe on average, the 4th OFer on a ML roster plays 162 games a year. It's an important position. Nobody really likes Zeke because he makes bonehead plays, but at the end of the day, he's an acceptable 4th OFer and by no means should be DFA'd - especially when our current alternatives are s***.

 

how would that be the average? How is it possible for a 4th OF to play more than 162?

Was going to suggest a trade for Alex Gordon

 

Then I looked up his 2017 numbers and threw up in my mouth a little

 

s***. Things are ROUGH in Kansas City this year

 

It's f***ing beautiful isn't it?

 

Gordon and Jason Heyward seem to be mimicking each other. Both put up some massive years built on great defense and base running, coupled with solid hitting. Both were a little underrated at times because they didn't put up the traditional statistics. The hit tool has simply disappeared for both (Gordon's likely due to age/decline, Heywards to mechanics and mental blocks).

Sorry - The stat probably is "backup outfielders" play on average 162 games in a season - not the classified 4th OFer (point being if you have a good 4th OFer who can play all 3 positions, he's going to play a lot over the course of a season).

I was using the term 4th OF to indicate he shouldn't be starting the majority of games, but yeah with the 25 man roster restriction, every member of the team has a relatively important role to play.

Yeah I agree.

If Boras thinks Arrieta is better than Scherzer, then I must wonder what s*** he is going to spew when marketing Hosmer.
