**** Rasmus. He strikes out in 1/3 of his PA. Guys like that just get skull****ed in the PS.
Jay put up a 3.7 WAR last year, which is pretty goddamned amazing all things considered.
Jay's BABIP is down 75 points from last year. He's striking out more, but taking the same number of walks.
He's also not running at all, perhaps due to his position in the order, although I have my doubts.
Jay's actually been our worst everyday player according to advanced metrics this year. Worse than replacement level.
Jay has always been a solid starter, but not much more. It's too bad Oscar isn't a touch more fleet of foot, otherwise we'd have his replacement right now. As is, we just have to suffer through it, because I'll be goddamned if we trade any pitching for CF help, especially with the paper thin nature of the rotation at this point.
They should have Yadi take his suspension tomorrow, use the extra roster spot to call up an extra bullpen arm while also sending Marte down and bringing up Siegrist.
