Bautista released

Lockhart gave Dansby's clone the pictures - Keith and Charlie get my vote.

Oh, yes. Spot on.

Yup. xWOBA is 373 which is 5th best on the team right behind Acuna. Compared to his actual 332 WOBA. So the mention of bad luck holds up here. His overall exit veloity is 91.7 which puts him tied for 54th right ahead of Harper and Trout.

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

gold standard franchise...braves way

If Moylan gets cut we need to immediately change the forum name to the era of the golden wren. Only problem is thethe might not post anymore.

can't cut a member of the Council of Elders...thats deep taboo

Camargo was very lucky last year according to Statcast, and has been unlucky this year.

His success in 2018 has been fueled by a huge spike in his BB rate over 70 PAs. He has otherwise been the same hitter as 2017.

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.

Good for Carmargo (and Riley too)!!

 

[Freshmaker]

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.

[msstate7]

so the Mets just signed Bautista. lol

.250/.340/.460 rest of season

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Have a feeling he will have some big hits against us

 

[JohnBoy]

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?

 

[EstebanBugatti]

.250/.340/.460 rest of season

.320/.410/.530 against the Braves

 

[Hawk]

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

 

[GovClintonTyree]

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.

 

[Braves1976]

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.

 

[nsacpi]

Mets might be willing to listen
