Yankees vs. Blue Jays - June 26, 2019

[Terminator]

Tellez's statcast is okay but it's got to look good or better for him to be a viable player. Slow lefties can get shifted to death and he contributes nothing defensively or on the bases. Plate discipline profile isn't what it needs to be either.

 

I think he's probably shown enough that I'd give him a lot of ABs over the rest of the season ("we have no one else" situation) but he's a complete shot in the dark at this point.

You made up for this post at the end... lets see what he has all year.

[Ex Player]

6th inning and the score is 6-6

 

HAIL Satan!!!!!!!!!!!

yep. Let him have 800 ab before writing him off.

Y'know, I'm REALLY happy that Gurriel is just demolishing baseballs, but I'm extra happy 'cause eventually tercet is going to have to admit that he was wrong about something.

 

Never.

 

He'll play the 'i never said players can't improve. At the time Gurriel was BABIPrriel'

[Ray]

Jansen looking better. Hope this is a turning point for him offensively.

[Ex Player]

I think in order for Biggio to become a superstar needs to put on aboot 10 to 15 lbs in the gym.

 

BR has him listed at 6'2" 200lbs but I think thats generous

I'm almost completely disinterested in Rowdy Tellez in a climate where you can just go get a CJ Cron or Ji-Man Choi for a couple million bucks whenever you feel you need a 1-2 win 115 wRC+ bat to take a bunch of reps at DH. I don't mind giving him reps this year, because why not, but if he hovers around a 90 wRC+ he should be optioned to AAA next year. There isn't enough upside there to warrant spending multiple seasons trying to develop a mediocre DH.

[Ex Player]

This just in, Aaron Judge can hit

He certainly falls short compared to some of the great first baseman that’s put on a BJ uniform.

 

Smoak, Encarnacion, Delgado, Olerud, McGriff?

Or finally getting good luck.

[Jonn]

Vladdy scuffling again. Just can’t see to get it going consistently.

[Pinkfloid]

More perfect, on the black pitches against Guerrero Jr. Just have to laugh at this point.

[Ex Player]

Smart try by Gurriel, if he wouldve gotten the runner at 3rd before the Yank crossed homeplate the score would still be 6-6. IMO he wouldnt have gotten the runner at the plate

That's fine, I agree with that. 100%

[Ex Player]

The handle on the bat is gonna turn Grichuk into a superstar

[Spanky99]

He's a rookie, man?

lol... I see what you did there!

His expected statistics don't really post that rosy of a picture for him either. .293 xWOBA, .227 xBA. He's getting unlucky, but even if he wasn't, he still wouldn't be league average.

Yeah, I know he's been craptacular, just nowhere it should be.

[Ex Player]

Drury might be hurt. This is really gonna hurt the team

The power is elite, I’m just not so sure about the hit tool. Defensively a bit iffy. There’s still time to fix things, but everyday 1B to replace Smoak next year I’m not quite convinced yet.

Meh, over this season we'll know, not to mention the Jays might extend Smoak if they don't get anything back.

[BTS]

Looks like Chapman won't pitch today.

[Spanky99]

Teo braincramp, lol

[Spanky99]

No he just pitched 50 in 2 days.

LOL he is 20 and not even through 3 months of his career.

[DigitalRock]

This Yankee Lineup is scary good.

[Spanky99]

So has Britton? Hmmmm...

[BTS]

Tellez is 24...
