Yeah, he's been just a little above average this year, over a third of a season as a sample. That's a long way from saying that he sucks, when since becoming a regular player he's been one of the most valuable players in baseball. [Reply]

Above average this year hitting .210 with a .409 SLG and a .709 OPS? Well thats absolute proof that the metrics are complete garbage. I guess Matt Adams is way above average then. [Reply]

His OPS is .771. League average is .700. That is, by definition, above average. [Reply]

Well awesome, he is a "slightly" above average MLB hitter (playing position traditionally reserved for power hitters), a less than average fielder, and a completely shitty base runner. Well worth the $$. [Reply]

Bill Mueller took a recent leave of absence, and he will not return to the same role as assistant hitting coach. Mark Budaska will take over in that role.
Ron "Pop" Warner will also join the coaching staff.
The team can't hit, can't field, rarely pitches well and has the focus of a gerbil.
So let's publicly execute the 3b coach.
That's a bush league move, IMO. I don't care about reassigning him; there's a better than average chance that he isn't good at that job. But let's be fair, people thought Oquendo was awful over there as well - it's just a completely thankless task. He probably isn't as bad as we think.
And he damn sure isn't the problem. Calling a presser to fire him is poor form. [Reply]
That was our cleanup hitter to start the season, y'all.
But yeah, let's publicly vivisect the 3b coach and not the fucking drooling idiot that has no concept of who may or may not still be a productive ballplayer and/or the guy that assembled this collection of stiffs that said drooling idiot has to work with. [Reply]

Maloney was a God awful 3rd base coach. Terrible isn't even the word for it.
You cant fire everyone at once but you have to do something. [Reply]
