Nobody on this end is twisting things. Only someone who is oblivious would compare runners in scoring position (a real, valuable statisic) to a random situation with a runner on. Here's another one : 2 outs and runners in scoring position : .167. That's an actual measured statistic. We can beat this to death, you're not going to be convinced of the truth. Moving on. I'm team Trammell. I measure it as potential, just as you are using OBP to measure potential for Trammell. I can appreciate that. Im not quick to write off Reyes's potential, clearly Cleveland agrees with me. If flames out his third year. i will be hear to apologize to you. Trammell's potential dwarfs Franmil's. He can be a 20/30 guy in the majors if they can unlock his swing issues.

Franmil is what he is, he is going to be a very effective AL hitter, again not upset he was traded, just that we got nothing for him usable for him (or immediately of use)

That most definitely is a big "IF".

10 pages, on the Padres forum. Bravo guys, I like it.
That rivals any thread on the main Aztecs board.

No more of a question than Franmil when you consider his overall profile. The one thing nobody has mentioned outside of me is the major knee injury he sustained. That's not a thing that is going to age well with him being 275 pounds. I had someone suggest to me that the Padres could ask him to lose 25 pounds....I just laughed.

We have talked about this from the perspective of the Reds trading Trammell for Reyes, but the key to their entire process was trading for Trevor Bauer.

I had no problem with the Padres trading Reyes. My only issue is who they got for him. And now, we are watching someone trying to turn their season around, while he is hitting .182 with Amarillo, and .209 in his last 99 games in AA. The Padres have a LOT of work to do with him.

If the NL had a DH, I would have been upset that we traded Reyes.

The NL will lose the WS again this year, and i think that will be the catalyst. Padres already seem to be auditioning DH type players. France, Naylor, Meija, all could fill that role.

I agree to some extent, but I don't think the DH comes to the NL until a new CBA is negotiated after the 2021 season.

The way teams are succeeding this year: hitting copious amounts of HR’s. I’m not a fan, but it is the trend.
The division leaders:
Braves 212, Dodgers 231, Cardinals 167, Twins 258, Astros 226, Yankees 250.
These are colossal numbers. To put this into historical perspective these HR numbers will obliterate even some of the steroid era marks (05 Rangers 260, 97 Mariners w 264) This trend will probably continue for the next several years and teams success and failures will be centered around the 3 run HR. There is no denying the effectiveness of the long ball. When Babe Ruth started putting up 50+ HR seasons he changed baseball forever and fueled the greatest dynasty in baseball history.
The SB is a thing of the past, a relic from the 1970’s and 80’s, and the Pads traded arguably their best power hitter for a speed guy.

The SB is a thing of the past, a relic from the 1970’s and 80’s, and the Pads traded arguably their best power hitter for a speed guy. Reyes had 27 HR's with the Padres. He hit 2, 3 run HR's. He has 6 HR's with Cleveland. Fully half of those are 3 run HR's. Now, some of this could have been caused by the current dugout genius, who kept batting Reyes 2nd in the order. Reyes had 16 HR's and 24 RBI for the Padres this season, with 1, 3-run HR. Of the other 4 3-run HR's, he hit them batting in the 5th (2, 1 with the Padres), 6th and 7 spots in the order, including hitting a 3-run HR on 3 consecutive nights for the Indians on the 24th, 25th and 26th of this month. This is where it would have been good for the Padres if the NL had the DH. That is the perfect spot for Reyes. Unfortunately, the NL doesn't have the DH, and that is what Reyes has been doing for Cleveland. DH-ing.

Trammell has his first 3-hit game for Amarillo tonight, with a single, double, and HR in the 15-6 victory. Now hitting .213. Also, Javy Guerra made another relief appearance tonight, giving up a walk and getting 2 K's in a scoreless inning of relief.

Trammell just blasted a home run to the deepest part of the park. Hitting just under .400 his last 7 games. The home run came off a lefty, which is another good sign. Stayed back on a breaking ball and crushed it. Hudson Potts also has gone yard, among others.

And also 35 strikeouts. Good for him, I hope he can maximize his skills there in the AL. Without the threat of playing defense to save the wear and tear on his knees, he should do okay.

Ryans response if we were using K's to judge a Padres hitter: "How you make outs does not matter, strikeouts are vastly overrated. Ask anyone who embraces analytics". LOL!
