Guest Vince0926 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dietrich just homered and is better than ozuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamii580 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Get back to me when Dietrich hits 20 HR, bats in 80+ and plays gold glove level outfield! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Get back to me when Dietrich hits 20 HR, bats in 80+ and plays gold glove level outfield! He will probably certainly put up those types of numbers given the appropriate amount of at bats, not to mention the fact that he actually knows how to draw walks. In all likelihood, Dietrich is going to end up being a better hitter than Ozuna. It's just that Ozuna has a massive edge defensively.

SilverBullet Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Not sure the point of this entire thread but since it became about Dietrich I think Dietrich has proven himself at the very least worthy of the opportunity for a seasons worth of playing time and not just off the bench. Who knows, it might not end up being with Miami but I'd like to know what he can do in a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, it might not end up being with Miami but I'd like to know what he can do in a full season. Poor man's Uggla, in my opinion. Similar OBP but a bit less power. So, probably a .780-.800 OPS type guy. Not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I would shuffle Dee Gordon to the bottom of the order, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 So you want your hitter with BY FAR the highest average on the team, who also happens to be your best base stealer, to bat at the bottom of the order? Uh.... why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The fact that his OBP is under .300 over his last 300 at bats might have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The fact that his OBP is under .300 over his last 300 at bats might have something to do with it. And he's actually a terrible base stealer as well. I can't believe his bb rate is actually worse than last year. ps i still love dee before i get screamed at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miamii580 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 I love Gordon as well. But, it's an amazing stat that Dietrich, for example, has an OBP 13 points higher than Dee's. But, back to my original post. It's really about not having our best starting lineup for even one game this year (substituting Bour for Morse and Realmuto for Salty). I would love to see what that lineup could do. We will probably have to wait until next year to see. And although I like Dietrich on the team, and we need to find playing time for him, let's not write off Ozuna just yet after one bad half of a year.

Erick Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dee Gordon has a .331/.352/.413 slash line this year. But lets only talk about the parts of the year when he's been bad because Spike says so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Seriously. Saying, "well, he has been bad since (insert date here)" is silly cherrypicking. What he did in April and May is a part of his total production. The funny thing is, if he started out poorly in April and May and came on in July and August, people would probably be talking about how awesome of a player he is even though it's the exact same thing. Recency bias at its finest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SongInTheAir Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Dee has the 2nd best WAR among all NL second basemen. That fucking bum. That's terrible. In contrast, Casey McGehee has the best ground ball rate in baseball and has played second base in the Majors before. He should be the every day second baseman, Dee can hit off the bench or maybe just be awarded via waiver claim to a team stupid enough to take him.* *I made up the statistics because I didn't feel like looking them up, but I can almost guarantee that Casey McGIDPhee is in the top 10 for ground balls.

SongInTheAir Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I never know when you're serious SITA since you were so against Dee before the year I was wrong about Dee and about Hech. Although Dee's doldrums worry me, he'd be such a great player if he learned to walk and got better jumps on the bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
