He's never hit more than 12 homers in a year I believe, but yet he could still be a late bloomer, but also that lineup is stacked and would be hard to get him full time at bats. But I am definetely interested... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Caelum 728 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 He also started out hot, with 3 HR and 6 RBI by April 9. Then he went 1-for-27 before this hot streak. Still, I'm intrigued a bit. Nine walks after 61 at-bats is unlike him, and encouraging. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wily mo 2,023 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 aw, i've missed having a marwin thread i was all about the mage (game of thrones books joke) as a deep league swiss army knife with sneaky power last year. it went ok but i didn't even bother bringing it up again this year because the astros are so frikken crowded i figured he wouldn't get enough time to be very useful, given that he didn't quite play as much as i hoped last year, and this year just looked worse. but he's doing his best, isn't he? i'm still curious what he could do with full time, but we may never know. he does hit lefties better, which would drag his numbers down if he played every day in shallow leagues i don't really recommend, just because, like, he's not really a starter but he's fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roto4500 446 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Once you pick him up, he won't hit another HR for the next month. Good luck with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matdotmarshall 251 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Someone just shared this with me - he's the first player in the modern era to homer in four consecutive games at a different position in each game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SSS but he has quadrupled his walk % so far in 2017 compared to 2016. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meastoftheeast 81 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Digging a little deeper on his SSS 2017 breakout so far: His current FB/LD average exit velocity is 96.8pmh, the same as Freddie Freeman and Bryce Harper. He has significantly reduced his O-Swing% while increasing both his Z-contact% and O-contact%. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vthunder 122 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Anyone else positive he was going to hit a GS there? If he plays everyday, with his power and muli-position eligibility he will be gold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not true...picked him up this morning and I come home to see another HR Now has a HR in the past 5 games he's started -- 6HRs in Total. I too drafted him last year as a bench Swiss-Army Knife. Happy to have him back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HalfManHalfAmazing 25 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) this guy looks like a backup player will he get enough at bats to be relevent? anything to see here? Edited May 4, 2017 by HalfManHalfAmazing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What about his appearance makes him look like a back up player? As long as he keeps producing I am sure he will get AB's. The answer lies within the previous posts on this page.

Please don't ask me to find the article... but the manager said he doesn't plan to bench him any time soon and will plug him anywhere he can to give guys days off in the OF and infield. Another question for you guys. I am not trying to rain on the parade (I picked up this guy as well) but is anyone concerned that he still has a very high ground ball rate?? Could the homer barage just be an anamoly. The other perhiphals look good, high walk rate, babip is actually kind of low and he could be a .270 hitter easily. I want someone to tell me not to worry about the ground ball rate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
