Right. I was going in a technicality.

He was granted free agency then signed again. So like I said technically he was a + war acqusition

Make WAR, not war.

For the record, Mathis has a 0.4 WAR this year. He was acquired this year. Other than that you're correct. Oh, and Brad Hand, who we lost on waivers, has a 1.4 WAR this year.

Straight up ugly.

Phils announcers already saying they'll have a chance at sweep tomorrow. They know us.

Its just an opinion. I obviously can't prove that he will be. But his batted ball stats say he definitely could be. I mean he hit .280 last year while striking out a lot more and making weaker contact.

I mean he's hitting line drives at the same rate as Correa and as hard as Tulo (who is also having a terrible BABIP year). while he won't ever have their power, it's reasonable to assume this is a fluke season for him and he's more the type of guy we saw last year

I honestly think with improved patience he's at least a .270 bat

He definitely isn't a .230 or even a .240 hitter.

If you're gonna bring a 5th OF in, why your best arm? Ichiro in would have made a ton more sense

I dunno. The metrics are usually very reliable or else FG would not use them. I'm not saying hech is gonna be a .300 hitter yearly. But he could very well be the .280 hitter he was last year. And with his defense thats enough

His LD% and hard hit % are much higher than 2013. He's also walking much more and swinging at balls a lot less

Seriously what was that

Game. Season.

I've never seen anything like this before.

Answer is April 19 2015. Only time he has gone 2 full in career

Seriously when's the last time Ramos went 2?

Ramos. Strikes. It's the pitcher

But he is. And because he is, he shouldn't be hitting .230 when he hit .280 last year. I highly doubt Hech will ever be a .300 bat. But he doesn't have to be

Canada Marlin is a gurl?!?!

Again. He's having his best season batted ball wise this year by far

He's not a power hitter and never will be which I also point out. But he's a singles 2Bs hitting SS whose made his best contact this yr. He shouldn't be given up on just yet.

I'd really wish we stopped making attendance jokes

I dunno. You don't post that LD% and hard hit rate while hitting .237. Even if his second half has sucked, he shouldn't be hitting that low.
