That is fools; bait .a few HRs spread over 90 games with almost no other production is almost meaningless.
The advanced metrics are awful.
Important details because as I've stated before, Liberty is cheap as hell.
.205 BA and .289 OBP is not getting better in any way.
WOW...he's hitting .205. ''the right handed bat we need'', on what planet ?
This is like signing a starting pitcher with a 7.00 ERA in 2018 and a career 6.00 ERA.
He will, soon.
Yea he's below the Mendoza line. But let me ask this; are any of the 3 leaving gonna help us down the stretch? I was in pro ball for 3 years and its jmo, but not 1 of the 3 leaving would contribute on a consistent basis either this year or in the future.
''DOWN THE STRETCH'' do you sell the future for a .205 hitter because the players you give up aren't ready now ?
This looks like a terrible trade. It reeks of looking for the cheapest option possible.
I guess the Braves thought the three would never be "ready". In the meantime, if Duvall can hit a HR or two at an opportune time, it might help win a game or two...in a close pennant race, that might be very good. I admit, he's not a threat to be a full-time starter and 30 HR kind of guy...one trick pony....a certain set of skills....but potentially helpful.
A ''hr or 2'' won't be a net gain if he fails on most at bats.
At least I'll always have '91,'92, and 95. Those were magical years. The whole streak was good baseball, but embarrassing playoff losses, especially '96. Smoltz was the man. That Game 7 duel w/ Jack Morris is one of the best games I've ever seen. What a beautiful delivery he had.
Lame trade. All or nothing swinger. Good glove. But
.205? Come on Braves! If you're gonna make a move, then make a MOVE. We're not going anywhere this year anyway. Just a few games over .500 now. They're losing it
Well... .224 and .333 vs lefties if that's how he's going to be used.
Future?? Was Walker ever gonna be a starter? Sims got lit like a Christmas tree... In baseball there are ALWAYS trades like this. Will this guy pan out etc. But do you think you or any of us know more about each and every prospect in the system?? I think with Folty, Newcombe, Fried, Allard, Soroka, Gohara etc; we can afford to giveup a POSSIBLE average MLB pitcher in Sims for the POSSIBILITY of not having to have 2 catchers that have never hit for power in the 5 hole, where it's your job to hit with pop and drive in runs. Who gives a %^$# if he goes 1 for 4 with 3 k's if he dropped a 3 run bomb dude.. Baseball trades can be make or break on both ends. BUT given the situation we're in with all the young arm talent that'll be in the show soon ( and thrive), IMO we need ANYBODY that has pop in this lineup.. It's not like this guy is gonna be an everyday player for years to come. AND he's a cheap get. I think the front office goes through pros and cons alot more than us. I'm sorry man, but if you think Sims was the future; I assure you he's not. The names mentioned above ARE our future arms.. IF Sims turns out to even be a 12 game winner in the next 3-4 years call me out on it..
.224, that is still pathetic.
EXACTLY!!
Show me where we've ever traded for a .205 hitter in the past.
