Kyle Lewis injury

[D-train]

I think what it's done is emboldens you to act like an ass and create conflict

No, I truly don't care. They can all go fuck themselves

The fewer jackals like you the better.

And I'm sure this is what the long-lasting members of the forum had in mind.

I wish Darren would tell you to shut the fuck up and put you in your place... but he's clearly too big of a wimp. It's his personal friends who have pm'd me... you'd think he'd be more supportive of them than letting you spout off and alienate them. I suppose it has to do with the Republican thing that he doesn't.

The ST forum was a millions time better before you ever came around.

My personal friends have PMd you? LOL That's funny because every single one of my personal friends just spent 4 days in AZ literally living with bpj and spending nearly all waking hours with him and they all said he was a great guy. If I thought either of you was more at fault I would say so. Takes two tangle man and you seem to love to get at it. So let's not pretend you are some innocent victim that is an easy going soft spoken guy that's just trying to get along.

This is a private forum and if you don't like it I can't imagine why you would stay and complain. BPJ isn't going anywhere for obvious reasons and if you call me fucking names again or bring up some Republican bullshit again (something you can't quite get through your skull even though I have told I wasn't a Republican about five times) your exit won't be optional.

Even better, I've been a big Fraley supporter, even when he started ice cold.

I was checking MLB.com, and I'm at work, so my posts are a little rushed.

I have been too, ever since the trade. People make a lot of his 60 ML AB across 2 seasons and a pandemic. He was too good at Arkansas in 2019 to ignore and give up on after 60 MLB AB. He's showing us what he's capable of, and I'm glad that him and Trammell can both carry that over into the Majors to start the season.

This may be a hot take, but Kyle Lewis may have a hard time keeping a starting spot in 2022 with Trammell, Kelenic and Julio. That isn't to even Mention Haniger and Fraley. I think Haniger should be moved by midseason, and Fraley is the perfect 4th OF. What happens among the other 4? Do you keep all of them and rotate at DH?

Here was your first entry into the conversation. Posting some guy that looks like he is looking incredulously at an idiot.

Do you remember his second half last season?

It doesn't seem to outlandish to think Trammell/Kelemic/Julio outplay Lewis. He's still a in my opinion.

Lewis and Haniger would both be guys I dangle for the right trade returns.

Color me shocked.

Here is your second. Another smart ass comment.

[D-train]

Lewis has done some things right, no doubt. He's as big of a question mark as anybody though.

Before last season we had a hole in CF. Then Lewis actually showed up, for awhile...

Things can change quickly. I wouldn't usher him out the door, but I'm not reserving CF for him either if the right offer came along, given that we have Julio/Trammell/Kelenic in hand. We all know Kelenic/Julio are going to get their chances.

What exactly are we going to do with 5 outfielders. Need to turn some players over every once in awhile

Here is bpj responding to your smart ass comment in a totally innocuous fashion.

[D-train]

Bucky Jacobsen had an .835 OPS and 119 wRC+ in his 40 games.

They're not world beating numbers that will never be replicated in other words.

I won't bet on less from Kelenic or Trammell

You won't bet on less for Trammell... lol well you're in for a whale of a surprise when he doesn't put up an .800+ OPS. You're honestly anticipating more from him? Jesus.

Gee... I wonder if people in Chicago think Luis Robert is going to be a bust because he struggled late last year as well. I don't get what it is with you people and Kyle Lewis... it's like you want to dislike him.

You do know that only 60 MLB players had a higher OPS than Lewis last season right? There's 30 teams in major league baseball... so on average... only 2 players per roster in the MLB were better and people think he's going to be unworthy of a spot in the M's outfield... of all fucking organizations... Oh... but a .824 career OPS isn't that good... and Jacobsen wasn't a bust, he had a knee injury that basically ruined his career... he had a .835 OPS and then didn't play another game... are you insinuating that Bucky, who was a great hitter, wasn't impressive when he put up that OPS?

Lewis had a bad month... so has nearly every baseball player who has ever held a bat in their hands.

Here you go with the "Jesus" comment and then the snide emoticons.

I would suggest looking in the mirror if you want to see the guy that comes off as a prick VERY often.

Lewis had a good month.

So has nearly every other baseball player that ever put on a uniform.

Pot, kettle. No, chicken, egg? Whatever it is..

I realize it could go either way so I would listen to offers.

I don't hate Kyle Lewis. What is it with you? Not everything's a quarrel manbun.

I realize Trammell could be under that, but an .825 OPS would rank 12th of 17 qualified LF's in 2019, it's not a high bar, even though it is pretty good for CF

And they probably have faith in Luis Robert because he had a .975 OPS in AAA as a 21 year old.

Finally after about 5 posts BPJ calls you manbun.

Yeah well good thing he's not a left fielder dumb ass. He's a hell of an athlete in CF which is why he's extremely valuable and not some sloth that you have to stick in a corner OF position.

It's funny that you call people "man bun" when you're a 50 year old who still embarrassingly wears Air Jordans... and with jeans no less... you remind me of every old man who gets entirely too aggressive playing pick up basketball despite the fact that you suck.

And you come back with Dumb ass. Dude you are delusional if you think you are the victim.

Anyways, hope Lewis is OK so Dipoto can maximize our OF value one way or another.

Personally I still wish we had explored the market for Lewis while his value was at it's highest.

Why you gotta bump an old thread like this? For I second I thought a certain poster had returned.

We still don't know if Lewis' value has reached its peak or not. I still think he can improve from what he did as a rookie and lay year.

I do regret not trading Haniger though. First I wanted to trade him is when they were rebuilding (I wanted Austin Riley from the Braves, who knows if they were willing to trade him in the package they offered for Haniger). Second, I wanted to trade him this year at the deadline.
