Carlos Correa is great defensively so as an overall player they aren’t comparable. I’m baffled that i need to explain my reasoning when it seemed pretty straight forward. I'm baffled that you're the one that brought up defense in the first place yet found a way to be perplexed by someone adding a valid point about it to the discussion.

My point is that we don't care about how good he is on defense if he is a full time hitter unless you play in a UZR league. Try to keep up.

He's got average speed. I'd be surprised if he ever had double digit steals but he doesn't need them to be a stud. In a 5x5 league I think his upside is having a line like a Freddie Freeman. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This isn't Austin Riley's thread. If your complaint is that people are talking too much about Riley, head on over there and explain why you think he's the "flavor of the day." If you want to say something about Hiura's performance, you should just do that instead of talking about other people not doing that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean...it's one game. It's a nice outing but it wasn't so dominant or awful it demands attention. He's an incredible talent and opinions on him should still be where they were yesterday. 2 hits and a walk is fantastic. He's supposed to be a hitting machine so it's nice to see him do in his debut what Shaw has generally been unable to do this season. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PhilaFanBoy 295 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hasn't looked good today (3 strikeouts) or last night. Lots of swings and misses. Hopefully merely some early jitters. He had an error in the infield today, as well. But you definitely want to see him get going soon to fend off Travis Shaw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Swung and missed at pretty much all fastballs. On a positive note, he did lay off some tough pitches on the outside corner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ComeSaleAway 46 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Overreact all you want or dismiss 4ks as nothing, but his contact skills have always been an issue. You guys can argue about his merits going forward but for a persistent issue to pop up in a game where the rest of the team is clubbing the ball does give me some concern that he could be a dead roster spot in the short term. Shaw might be bad right now but he is a proven major league player. I don't think this guy will have a long leash. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Backdoor Slider 8,273 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 This thread is a mess. Take it to the Overreaction Thread or Bench Coach if you want to talk Calhoun. As for Hiura, a bad showing. Surprising because his hit tool is his calling card. But again, game 3. If he thinks he has 10 days to prove himself, he may be pressing. Hopefully he can relax. The good news is this team and offense was scuffling and now they’re 3-0 since his call. So shouldn’t feel the pressure to help jump start team. Wouldn’t be shocked if Perez gets the start tomorrow v. Fried (LHP). Give Hiura a chance to catch his breath. Then maybe come back over the weekend and be ready to hit. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
