meh2 3,563 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Damn, it’s been since May 5th since the Rockies last faced right handed starting pitcher! Good news, tomorrow they face Aaron Nola. 🤮 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good news, tomorrow they face Aaron Nola. 🤮 If the Rockies actually paid a 34 year old, oft injured 1B 12 million dollars per year to be a strict platoon bat, it might be the dumbest decision theyve made. And thats saying a lot. The funny thing is hes actually hit lefties (.294 AVG and 765 OPS) well this year in small sample, and is total trash vs righties (.156 AVG and a .582 OPS). The splits vs LHP were never an issue in 2016 or 2017 or really his entire career, last year he struggled off injury in a shortened season and the Rockies have decided that hes gotta be a straight platoon bat now, all while blocking youth development. Good times! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Braves16 550 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I don’t think he’s injured. Seems he’s simply being platooned. The last RH the Rockies faced was Zack Greinke on May 5th. Seven straight lefties since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SuperJoint 4,183 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Good News: He's actually playing Bad News: He's actually playing I have no words - other than "disaster"; "excrement" might also fit. I don't understand what artist formerly known as "Bud Black" does most of the time, and absent any physical explanation (and none has been forthcoming) sitting this guy on the bench for over a week platoon or not is not going to "help" a seasoned, proven, professional hitter.

CuredMeats 63 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Still plenty of time to turn it around, but man has it been bleak. Debating if I should try to trade him for someone else's headache or hold tight (with him on my bench). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this guy manning 1st base earlier this year, there were some videos on twitter as well which I can find right now, but Daniel Murphy physically looks washed up for a baseball player. I'm not saying he can't be productive in fantasy if he gets PAs, I think he has some ability to hit and he's in Coors, heck Ian Desmnd is the worst player in baseball and he can still contribute in fantasy baseball.

Von Hayes 240 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The Rockies play 10 straight home games (against BAL, ARI, and TOR) starting this Friday. I’m holding until at least June 2nd to see how that homestand goes. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hgh22 341 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 This guy was a stud in the 2nd half last year - I don't think he fell off a cliff. He's either in a slump or hurt or both, and I dont drop top tier talent for those 2 reasons. Now if you wanna talk about trading for 80 cents on the dollar then to each their own, but dropping this guy right now is lunacy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t know how long it’ll take him to heal/get his form back, but it’s definitely worth keeping him to find out. His upside in Colorado is monstrous. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
