2017: 0.4 with a 108 wRC Yeah, he's been just a little above average this year, over a third of a season as a sample. That's a long way from saying that he sucks, when since becoming a regular player he's been one of the most valuable players in baseball.

His OPS is .771. League average is .700. That is, by definition, above average.

Well awesome, he is a "slightly" above average MLB hitter (playing position traditionally reserved for power hitters), a less than average fielder, and a completely shitty base runner. Well worth the $$.

The team can't hit, can't field, rarely pitches well and has the focus of a gerbil.
So let's publicly execute the 3b coach. That's a bush league move, IMO. I don't care about reassigning him; there's a better than average chance that he isn't good at that job. But let's be fair, people thought Oquendo was awful over there as well - it's just a completely thankless task. He probably isn't as bad as we think. And he damn sure isn't the problem. Calling a presser to fire him is poor form.

That was our cleanup hitter to start the season, y'all.
But yeah, let's publicly vivisect the 3b coach and not the ****ing drooling idiot that has no concept of who may or may not still be a productive ballplayer and/or the guy that assembled this collection of stiffs that said drooling idiot has to work with.

What if Mozeliak did a murder suicide by firing Matheny and then resigning?
