What’s wrong with Camargo?

[Slippyjms]

What has happened to Johan? His batting stance looks ridiculous right now. He’s hitting his head with his bat waggle. He still seems to be able to play a quality defensive SS but that looks like the only place he can play right now where his bat is not a complete liability. Has the super sub we all thought we were getting reverted into a glove first defensive replacement?

[CyYoung31]

He’s always hit his head with the bat waggle. I don’t know how it doesn’t drive him nuts.

[Dalyn]

I don’t know how it doesn’t drive him nuts.

It certainly doesn't drive in many runs.

[AerchAngel]

It certainly doesn't drive in many runs.

But he drives the Braves fans crazy. He's got that going for him.

When I see him at bat, pop up or a K, if I see a walk a minor miracle, a hit a medium miracle, a home run, I would have an orgasm.

I agree. Would love to replace him.

Let’s give him some ABs on a more regular basis and not over react to and 0-6. We will know a lot more in a week or so.

.225 .256 .347 over 170+ ABs. He has been worse than an injured Ender.

He sucks. I still have faith he’s that super sub we thought he was, but he sucks right now. There’s no other way around it.

Yep. I'm starting to see why so many people compared him to Prado.

I think it's just lack of regular playing time...

This will be proven true or false soon enough. I am not worried at this point since Dans will be back soon enough. We have a good lead and have this time to let him show us what he can do.

I don’t know. I think he needs to make some mechanical adjustments with his swing. The glove work has been strong at SS though.

lack of talent

hmmm

[Dalyn]

Sure wish we would've traded him after signing Donaldson.

[Enscheff]

Nothing is “wrong with him” other than the fact he isn’t very good. xwOBA pegged him as a lucky below average hitter the entire time he’s been at the MLB level. He is a bench guy who should primarily face LHP.

Sorry, but I’ve been saying this for a long time now, and the fact folks now think “something is wrong” is a continuation of the denial.

[nsacpi]

I see what the thread starter did there

[Carp]

I agree. Would love to replace him.

Martin Prado is available I hear.

[Dalyn]

Martin Prado is available I hear.

I figured the "with someone better" part went without saying, but I guess not. I would love to replace him with someone better.

[Carp]

I think I'd rather send Riley down til Sept so he can get regular at bats and bring up Demeritte. The idea being to have Demeritte be the super sub until Swanson is healthy, and let Culberson and Johan rotate.
