How exactly was he rushed? He's been in the minors since 2010. Despite having decent raw power, absolutely none has shown up in game, with an atrocious .060 ISO against AAA pitching. He's a 4th OF and pinch runner, that's his ceiling at this point.
I was close to the end of my rope with him in May, but he's been mashing for awhile now. He's .475/.779 with 8 HR over the last 30 days, bringing his OPS up to just about .800. He's actually been carrying my team the last couple weeks.
Yep, Andriese has been good and still gets kicked in and out of the rotation. As far as prospects go, Schultz is the next man up, not Faria. Schultz has much better stuff, and his command has finally come around.
It's going to be tough for him to get a rotation spot in Tampa any time soon with that depth chart.
Archer
Smyly
Odorizzi
Moore
Snell
Cobb
Andriese
Erasmo
Schultz
Guerrieri
Honeywell
I'm also open to trading Dee Gordon. I would like to package him with some other goods (ex Bobby Bradley, Fulmer, #4 MiLB, Archie Bradley, Profar, Cruisin' Chris) in return for a zesty 1B or OF bat.
I'm more desperate and willing to overpay in DDL. I doubt anyone coughs up that kind of capital for Davis here, not with his peripherals taking a continued step back. At the very least I'd like to make an opponent overpay here.
I'm not too worried about it, I like my lineup. My PR reflects a lot of PAs wasted on the likes of Ellsbury and Cervelli, who are no longer polluting my line. ROS offence should be easily Top 4.
