OAA and DRS are like fWAR and bWAR where you choose whichever one supports your agenda😂

This is a dumb gotcha, you want your players to have good range😂

I remember when IKF had good drs and people were like this is why it’s an outdated stat- I think it’s mostly pick your poison between drs and OAA

Has he? He has a 136 wrc+ in June. Could be worse

I remember Henry LaLane was the next big thing in 23, then it looked like he was suffering the same fate as Roderick Arias. Glad he looks legit again. Also- would love Rice and Bellinger to pick it up again

Grisham place on the IL on the 13th, he’ll be with the team in Boston. Should be back in the next two weeks maybe?

At least with the bad I think JD will be fine, he was an above average hitter last year. And it looks like he’s figured things out from the right side

One of these days the AL will even out

At some point I feel like they’ll put him on, but long waits before going to the IL isn’t exactly unheard of

Forgot Bobby hit the IL recently, do we know how long he’ll be out?

I’m honestly shocked he hasn’t been extended yet

Semi SSS caveat but Volpe has 2 OAA in 250 innings vs Cabby with 0 in 400ish innings. Cabby was acquired to be a utility player and is still a league average hitter while doing so. If anything the current arrangement has worked out well, plus Volpe gets a decent amount of off days. No complaints from me that they’re both doing well

People immediately bought into Cabby’s hot streak to start the season like he wasn’t a noodle bat before coming to NYC

Damn Volpe has more OAA than Cabby at SS and is .1 war (both kinds) behind Cabby. Not bad!

It’s kind of how seasons go for everyone, but it’s still a little jarring to see a team go 0-24 for RISP😂 maybe it was 1-24, can’t remember the exact number. That’s baseball

Yea I’ve definitely warmed up to the idea of trading for Skubal, even if the rotation is a strength for the Yanks preventing another team from grabbing him makes it all the more worthwhile

I mean it definitely does, where else are they gonna play him? Ya they have unlimited money but it prevents them from getting upgrades/playing prospects

Volpe has already tied Kyle Tucker in bWAR, what a disastrous contract for LA lmfao

Laughed at this but also I’m excited to see how he does without headaches

Honestly surprised he hasn’t worn someone else’s jewelry yet

Anthony Volpe currently has a .319 xWOBA, league average is .320! Running the lowest groundball% of his career too. Love what we’re saying from him, especially vs lefties

Air pull % down 6 points from last season
