Agreed. But I think Rocco is more than ok with more than 1 guy filling that role. He’s been a low key mastermind with how he’s handle his Pen as manager.
His homers aren’t just long fly balls and some kind of lucky streak. They are BOMBS...
Me too. Be he can get slapped around some. He needs to locate his fastball better when he’s working up in the zone. That’s a good pitch for him and place to be but he needs to hit his spots to get those whiffs.
I think Cave should be DFA’d. Outfielders like him are a dime a dozen. So tired of seeing him take pitches right down the middle and chase junk a foot off the plate.
They need a kick in the balls is what they need. Especially the pen.
Not sure how you could watch Kiriloff and Cave at the plate and not pencil the former in the starting lineup. If Cave was a gold glove SS that’s one thing. There’s zero reason to have a corner OF be that useless at the plate. And it’s not like there’s any indication ever that he’s going to be good.
Agreed on Cave
Even Keon Broxton would be an upgrade over Cave. At least Broxton brings speed and defense to the table.
In Caves career he’s had right about 700 plate appearances and 234 strikeouts. That’s terrible. If you are doing that you better hitting with great power (he doesn’t) and sure as hell better not be a below average corner outfielder.
