Yes it is lol. Plus he played hurt last year. He hit much better towards the end of last season and in the playoffs. Hes not this bad.

 

hopefully. he did look good in the playoffs so maybe he was due to go on a tear..

 

He looks worse than Pillar at the moment

f***, gurriel's not getting any better in left

 

I would be tempted to try him at third for a few games and put Cavan in left when everyone is healthy.

 

The only part I love about him in the OF is his cannon of an arm. That throw he made last year is imprinted in my mind.

 

Switching major positions like that mid-season seems like it could be trouble. Maybe it's something they look at in the offseason for Gurriel if he continues to read the balls.

I hate that he's batting leadoff and how Montoyo has yet to make any change. I'm far from a Biggio fan but why not throw him at leadoff and Semien at cleanup to see if it helps both until our guys get back

 

Biggio leading off and Semien cleanup... That’s what you think about when you want to last longer

How he was a gold glove finalist last year has to be the biggest joke. Majority of his dives are because he takes horrible routes to the ball. To his credit, he's been able to make the plays for the most part but I have very little confidence in him out there.

 

Pretty sure he was in contention because of the Outfield assists. Not sure how much they utilize analytics in gold glove voting. I’m assuming they don’t at all.

Bo and Vlad should be hitting first and second until Springer is back. You want those guys up as much as possible. Montoyo is a buffoon unfortunately.

He had a lot of diving catches and that one throw from the wall to the catcher must have made people assume he's great out there. Just shows you how little they watch the games.

He really is. I want it not to be so. But he is. We used to bitch at Gibby from time to time but nothing like this.

Springer coming back soon probably within a week. Hold off on moving Semien out of leadoff until then.

 

Seems like that's what's gonna happen. Montoyo might be too scared to upset Semien because majority would have moved him already. Especially considering he's never been a leadoff guy in his career

The gold gloves last season were purely stats based.

Why? You think his feelings should be considered? He's here on a one year deal. It's up to him to put up some numbers this year. I don't think he cares where he hits.

Tabby just said Ryu went over ALL the Red Sox hitters he was going to face today. I really dont think this is ground breaking stuff for MLB starters.
