I think you’re confusing Justin Turner with Jacob Turner.

Yep, that’s my bad. I’ll fix it, thanks.

If Varvaro doesn’t make the team after the season he had, then I don’t know whats up with the Braves organization
Brian Baker
He could get cut, but at this point I doubt it. I think Gearrin is more likely to get DFA’d.

Detwiler to the pen seems increasingly likely.

If anybody can get inside the head of Ruben Amaro, I’d love to know what you find there. So he’s dangling Mayberry who, the more he plays, shows diminished plate discipline, hits for less power, and has zero aptitude for defensive play — the same Mayberry who tripled his salary this offseason. Instead of planting Mayberry on the Phillie bench, tell me what is wrong with Darin Ruf? He’s not a starter, and that’s fine for what Philly needs. His career OPS is 100 points higher than Mayberry, he’s three years younger, and will play for one-third the salary of Mayberry. What gives?!?

The bigger issue is why Ruf isn’t being looked at as Howard’s platoon partner. Pride?

.188 BA vs LHP in 2013 in his only legit sample size in the bigs, thats why.

What are his minor league numbers? That’s ghastly.
ztoa
my internet is slow, but i’d imagine he’s high .2s or in the .3’s against lefties minor league sps. He went .340ish but in like 20 AB the year before. This sample size was greater 100-200 AB.

could be the ownership
in the IT world it used to be you can’t get fired for buying IBM. where buying from a small start up can get you fired if it breaks or doesn’t work
same in baseball. if you have an owner who is a micro-manager you buy proven stars with numbers behind them and when they fail you have an out. taking a chance can get you fired
Damon Bowman
Since when did John Mayberry become a proven star with numbers behind him? I don’t disagree that it could very well be David Montgomery and Phillie ownership sticking in their two cents but Mayberry, for my money, is thoroughly expendable and replaceable in every sense of the words.

his lifetime OPS is pretty good and probably in the top 20% of all MLB players. maybe he is striking out too much to get on the latest power hitter fad
