M's trade for Jake Lamb

[WEScoast]

We're building a decent AAAA team

[D-train]

Happy with the Bull for the Lamb swap...

[Captain 97]

Seattle products return home.

Not necessarily a good plan.

Why has he only played 25 games? Injuries?

This year Jake Lamb played 61 games at Triple A Oklahoma City where he posted a .290/.395/.537/.932 line in 276 plate appearances:

Better than Kelenic did in AAA.

This is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad way to end the trade deadline. Jerry just picked up a very average Lamb. Gonna have to tie a pink ribbon on him to tell him apart from all the other sheep

Pretty similar actually and OKC is much more homer-friendly.

Jarred Kelenic posted a wRC+ of 118 in 252 plate appearances at Triple A this year while Jake Lamb posted a wRC+ of 130 in 276 plate appearances:

wRC+ reportedly takes into account league and park differences.

Like I said, similar numbers.

Lamb is clearly better. 128 to 130 I would call similar. Not 10% better.

Not to mention Lamb is from Seattle so add another 10 wRC+ points just for that.
