    Those are two things that our previous FO likely had no clue about.

    Is that BB rate going to hold up? Or is he going to revert back to the .300ish xwOBA guy he was last season?

    I’m guessing the Braves will be looking to acquire a 3B rental in 2 months.
    walk rate is probably flukish, but the smaller drop in K rate might be significant

    All I needed to know about Bautista was the Marlins walked the bases loaded Friday night because they’d rather see him at the plate.

    Guys realize this is exactly what the front office wanted. Try Bautista out and see if he had some magic. When he didn't and our infield got healthy, he was gone. It's pretty simple really. It does highlight that we need a bit more MIF depth though.

    So the Braves owe him nothing? Or the remainder of a pro-rated 1M for the rest of the season, with the Mutts paying a pro-rated league minimum 500k or so?

    Apparently they liked his OPS against lefties. All 16 abs.

    No biggie. Good luck to him. The Mets aren't likely to be our problem.

    Certainly not a Mets fan, but it's a shame what happened with David Wright.

    While I didn't mind his release at the time, AA might've been right that Joey Bats has one more year left in him. He has put up an .894 OPS with the Mets including a .418 OBP and is hitting righties best while playing mostly LF, he has a 1 DRS in LF too so not costing any runs there.
