I knew his defensive metrics have been elite this year, but I was floored when I saw his bat had been league average. He must be getting on base during the innings I don’t watch.

Also, I still can’t believe what a superstar Acuna really is …. His level of athleticism got kinda lost on me with his being out for so long…I’ve been watching these guys day in and day out for a very long time….we have never had a player like this.

I know Freddie won an MVP and Chipper was a inner circle HOF but Murp for that 3 year period would be the only time we’ve had one of the top 2-3 players in the game (non pitcher)
Acuna without a doubt along with Soto and Trout are the best going now.
And barring injury will be the best most of the next 5-7 years
Pretty special time to watch greatness in its prime!

I mean he's been on absolute fire for a couple weeks now.

He's hit well lately. Also leave wide offense is down. So league average isn't what it usually is.
 
The batted ball metrics for Contreras are why him messing around in the OF wasn't the craziest idea, and is why he should have gotten some more DH PAs before Acuna came back than he did.

He obviously isn't the answer in the OF though.
 
Langeliers turning into Piazza muddies the water a bit, but there was a compelling case for keeping Contreras over Langeliers in the era of pitch comm and automated strike zone.

I guess. It’s just shocking to see with a 35% k rate (especially with non elite power or OBP).

That’s mainly because during his first 2 weeks or so he was striking out like 50% of the time. He’s cut that down significantly recently
 
Since 4/16 Swanson has hit 294/355/485 - 139 WRC+

Hard to say that particular line is sustainable with a 429 BABIP and 32% k rate. But overall Swanson is going to be fine. Since 2019 he's a 99 WRC+ and I suspect he is going to be close to that be years end. He's shown to be a league average hitter and a good defender at short. I'll take it.
 
Every time I look at Langelier's stats I shed a tear. Every time I watch Bill Contreras slam one over the fence I feel a little better.

Is league average sustainable with a 32% k rate?

I love Dansby and will gladly have him for this season. The skepticism is rooted in the question of what contract extension is reasonable.
