John_Havok Old-Timey Member Posted September 1, 2021 Posted September 1, 2021 If you have someone who's a 115 wRC+ bat - there's no reason you can't make him a full time DH and part time first baseman. That's a top 70 hitter in baseball (of qualified hitters). True story, except Rowdy isnt likely a 115 wRC bat. He had a hot month, and has bottomed out completely since then. 72 wRC+ in August after his great July. There's really nothing in his line that indicates he's on the verge of some breakout.

That's a top 70 hitter in baseball (of qualified hitters). Except that someone isn't Rowdy Tellez there's an adjustment period when changing league and pitchers will get to know him better according MLB stats in the last 15 days Rowdy's lines .186 avg, 239 OBP, 302 SLG. Pretty much what we were use to seeing from him in Toronto every time he step up to the plate. The Blue Jays like to keep their DH spot open plus to give some ailing guy some rest and right now it's George Springer spot. The verdict came down from management that Tellez was now a redundant piece in Toronto and they needed more urgently some pitching so they got a good one in Richards for BP and potential good starter in Francis.
