Still hitting beans. Find a CF who throws to the right base and hits .235 or .240.
It's funny / peculiar, but while most players in the majors have been under performing their "x-stats" (projections based on type of contact and other factors) this year, Vic is actually getting better results than you'd expect from the poor quality of his contact.
wOBA - .270, xwOBA - .247.
BA - .231, xBA- .203
SLG - .315, xSLG - .280
Average and SLG overperformance line up. WE more or less have a real-life, everyday Mario Mendoza lining up in CF, and he leads off most of the time. I guess Davey, perhaps at Rizzo's urging, is letting him sink or swim for now until the end of the season by giving him extra at bats. I'll be curious whether they immediately put Abrams leadoff and Robles 9th, or whether they hold off and let Abrams get adjusted first.
