Sign guys on the fringes and wait out/develop the hitting over the long term. Pitching and 'defense' to prevent runs..hope and a prayer for offense until things are settled with various young players. But we're still waiting on 2 or 3 more young guys. Another "evaluation" season in '25? Maybe in '26, too? How much longer will fans be patient? PS...don't ask Lions fans....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like - he doesn't know anything yet - he has no reason to think yet and I feel like the second he does he'll be toast. too bad he stopped being a Shortstop.

The thing is, even if he has his head on right - that doesn't mean he may not have holes in his swing and if he does MLB pitchers will find them. The second hundred PA will tell.

Tigermojo Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 The new statcast bat data suggests this is what Tork should be doing and that Baez has the longest swing in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting out bad contracts? There's one. And he still provides plenty of defense and baserunning (well, ok, this is few and far between given the bat).

RandyMarsh Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I saw that Riley has elite level swing speed while being in the upper half in terms of shortest swing. Perfect combination whereas Baez has the elite swing speed(tops on the team and I believe top 10 in baseball) but as you said he legit has the longest swing in all of baseball which obviously isn't good. On a side note the data is nice but considering guys use different weight bats it isn't a clear apples to apples comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he going to going 40 straight games with a homer and that's how he is getting to 40? He's got the first 2 games in a row down already. It seems like that might be a record.
