Gyorko is probably a big part of him getting fired, considering that extension. Hard to see another team taking on that term given his current situation.
Geez, I thought Gyorko was better than he was last year, a .325 wOBA isn't really that sexy. Strip away the prospect pedigree and you have a pretty droppable player. He'll turn 26 soon and his career line is .223/.275/.393. God I hate Petco. And the Padres in general.
Yeah, Gyorko did a lot of damage to your z score that will take awhile to iron out. I'd say it's an above average offence when Belt and Trumbo are back, and if Butler and Gyorko hit like we expected them to.
Since we're all plugging our underhyped prospects, how about Marco Gonzales' continued tear through the minor leagues?
76 IP, 9.2 K/9, 4.33 K/BB, ERA and FIP around 2.00 split evenly across A+ and AA. The Cards have done it again, folks.
They can be traded now. I think the idea is that if and when they are traded, the original team's name will be attached. For example, you trade me Mauer for my 1st, your list will then appear as such:
1
1 (LOB)
2
3
4
5
6
And funny enough, ATL has moved him into the leadoff spot for today's game. Not surprising considering he's slashing .364/.425 through his first 18 games.
Yep, you can knock the power/speed (Hi Matt Carpenter), but the OBP, H, and R will be above average for a 2B if he's given the role full-time. If I didn't have Bobby Canoe locked in at 2B, I would be holding La Stella for the time being.
This is an OBP league, there's no such thing as an empty OBP. 2B is a very shallow position at the moment as well, league average wOBA is .302. Replacement level 2B wOBA in a 20 team league is about .310, so La Stella's ~.340-.350 potential is pretty intriguing.
