We’ve been saying this for years. I think its safe to pen Vlad as an xStat underachiever. Much like some pitchers are FIP beaters. Just the other way around.
Kinda funny/sad that Springer has been relegated to full-time DH at this point. He’s a guy a would’ve expected to be at least average in a corner OF spot for the duration of the contract.
Gotta wonder what the situation would look like if Santander was healthy. One of them would have to play OF each day. The team is probably better off right now with Lukes/Barger/Schneider playing the corners.
Next year might be a bit of a struggle unless they’re somehow able to move Springer in the offseason
Yeah why exactly was Berrios pulled so early?? Seems like a major over-correction after last start.
Just let him go but have someone warm to take over if he starts blowing chunks
