Lebanasty 183 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) I hope the kid gets 20ABs/wk but that seems aggressive. Likely to be in the 12-15AB/wk range. If you're weighing options on which call-up to grab, I have to put Mercado lower on the list because of the situation. Edited May 19, 2019 by tonycpsu Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When batting 9th, he has been quoted as saying he didn't want to run into outs with Lindor hitting behind him. I think he is much more likely to steal bases in the 7 hole.

Yeah I can only imagine the pressure he feels right now to produce. First game he looked bad with 3 ks, and that got him on the bench for two games. Moved to 7th, 0-4, back to 9th. Give the kid at least a little leash Francona! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nlm 476 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 LATEST NEWS MAY 23, 7:01 PM CDT Mercado exited Thursday's game against the Rays following a collision in the outfield, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports. ANALYSIS Mercado and Leonys Martin crashed into each other while diving for a ball. Both players remained in the game initially, but Mercado was removed after hitting a single in his next at-bat. The nature and severity of his injury is unclear, but the issue would seem to be in his hip or groin based on where Martin ran into him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nlm 476 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Mercado was forced to leave Thursday's game against the Rays with a right hip contusion, Ryan Lewis of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. Mercado suffered the injury in an outfield collision with Leonys Martin. He remained in the game initially and singled in his next at-bat but was removed for a pinch runner after reaching second base. The diagnosis of a contusion appears to suggest that his absence won't be a long one, though the Indians have yet to announce his expected return date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And they're starting their 3rd catcher at DH, against Snell. No idea what is going on in CLE, but that's been the case since December. Mercado is likely sitting due to a collision in the field the other day. Edited May 24, 2019 by Lebanasty news Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sonny_D 1,962 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Back and hitting 2nd today. It’s about time Francona put him at the top. Of course he couldn’t drop his love toy in Kipnis too far (batting 4th). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just saw that should have been thorough before posting, thanks man for pointing it out. Well then if he hits and Franco leaves him in there this could be a very nice player, albeit with a low BA more than likely Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AngryBeavers 130 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 As long as we get decent counting numbers and get SB's - I will be very happy to have this guy at the end of my lineup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swingbatter 186 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Oscar likes being in the 2-hole...2/4 with a dinger today. Hopefully this is the production needed to convince Tito to keep him at the top of the order. But then again, it’s Tito... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
