If his bat speaks he will play the whole game. Shaw is a good hitter too. they also don't really have to have Moustakas bat the entire game with their offense. that is why I think they could be willing late in the game after Moustakas AB they bring in someone for defense. I don't think it would be often but I could see it happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

UberRebel 580 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 How much of a bump should his value and ADP get based on confirmed 2B starting status? Yahoo league minimum is only 5 games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BirdDog20 16 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I'd say Moustakas would be close to Shaw. Estimates are for nearly the same numbers except Shaw has 3 or 4 more bags. Just go to your display all 2b projections and look at where Shaw sits relative to others. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B&F 944 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 13 runs by the Brew Crew and nothing from Moose. I went against my own better judgement and drafted him. Lineup and ballpark won't matter if a player is struggling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know we live in an instant-gratification culture that is more geared toward DFS and fantasy football, but geez. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fingy 127 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Don't worry guys, he will be DLed retroactively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitekenyan24 147 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Just DL the dude already. It's a long season anyway so don't mess around with him. Why would they play a guy down for this long without making a move. Seems silly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey_Baseball 319 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Can he break another finger tip? He's been on fire since he came back 💪 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RJWMN24 57 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 He's quietly been very solid this year. We knew the power would be a good asset, but he's also drawing a good amount of walks. Could be a steady 4-Cat guy in OBP leagues. Just been kind of lost for doing his job in-between Yelich's dominance and Aguilar/Shaw struggles. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B&F 944 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 His FB% is an insane 50%. It looks like he really is making a conscious effort to hit bombs. 35 might not be out of the question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like he really is making a conscious effort to hit bombs. 35 might not be out of the question. Juiced ball, past production and that home ballpark leads me to believe his HR ceiling is 40+. I like him as my primary 2B but that requires supplementing SB’s elsewhere since the position typically provides a good source of steals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Olliemets 471 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Keston Hiura was called up today.. I'm sure that it will lead Shaw to the bench for the most part, but I could see Moose sitting a lot more now that they have their golden boy prospect playing 2nd, especially if Shaw heats up at all.

I guess I don't see this for a team with big aspirations this year. Moose is hitting the ball well and has shown improvements in his plate discipline as well. He'll get the general day off against a lefty, perhaps, but Hiura's call-up is far more about Shaw IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shaw's being demoted. Moose sacrifices little-to-no PT for Hiura. This actually allows him to slide back over to 3B, so he'll retain 2B/3B position eligibility for next season (based on platform -- i.e. ESPN, Fantrax). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Huh? I doubt Moustaka's playing time will decrease at all. He's producing. Why would it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't disagree more. Moose has been one of their best hitters not named Yelich, regardless of a mini-slump right now partially brought on by the fact that they played two extra innings games recently (with one being a marathon). If Shaw was doing any good at all, Hiura wouldn't be up right now even though he deserves to be. The only thing the call-up does to Moose is guarantee he plays 3B almost exclusively the rest of the season. He's got his 2B eligibility for next season already, so no big deal there.
