Braves at Nats GTD

[Enscheff]

1.3/128*162 is 1.65. Camargo will have significantly better defensive numbers as well.

Offset by significantly lesser base running numbers.

And are you sure Camargo is going to play 162 games? Does your pozzimania know no bounds lol?

[thewupk]

No reason why a kid his age couldn't but you're right I should have used a multiple of 159.

No reason Camargo shouldn't be the other half of a platoon with Ruiz.

I'd like to see Ruiz as well but Camargo has earned the time more than Ruiz and if he isn't everyday at third then snitker may do something stupid like play him at SS 2 time's a week and I'd like to avoid that.

[UNCBlue012]

Yeah, Albies is legit and I'm maybe actually wrong about Camargo. Dude can hit

[sturg33]

It's possible got sure. But what does that day about the white sox if they didn't take the deal?

Hard to blame the Sox for taking the player they did

More reason to wonder what the "Powerhouse" FO is thinking

thewupk, the cards are making our nl playoff bet interesting

Nothing, they got a top 5 prospect.

So then they were at the market?

I'm glad it didn't happen but it'd not an overpay which I think you're making it out to be.

Camargo has feasted on lefties with a big helping thanks to a 468 BABIP against them and has a 669 OPS against righties. And right now he has roughly twice as many abs against righties as he does against lefties. He would have a worse ratio if he played everyday. And with BABIP normalization is overall stats would not be very good. The Braves would get better production out of a good platoon than Camargo everyday at 3B.

what bet was that again?

I dumbly bet you a team would make the nl playoffs besides the cubs, Nats, brewers, dodgers, dbacks, and Rockies

No reason Camargo shouldn't be the other half of a platoon with Ruiz.

Ruiz has a 0.314 xwOBA vs RHers, while Camargo is sitting at 0.271. Camargo has a .362 vs RHers.

Assuming a 4:1 RH:LH pitcher ratio, that platoon should produce somewhere around a 0.325 wOBA. Couple that with above average defense, and the Braves should expect about 2+ wins from the position in 2018.

doesn't have to be a strict platoon, but something like that makes a lot of sense

Hmmm. I think the Cubies pull it out but that will be a close race

makes to much sense to be used

[CrimsonCowboy]

[nsacpi]

Ruiz is a very good complement for Camargo, Swanson and Albies, given that those three all hit lefties significantly better.

Ugh you never took my bet on that same thing.

[CyYoung31]

Teheran should just pretend every team he pitches against is the Nats.
