Scott Hairston is strictly a platoon player. He has no business getting 500+ AB’s

Agreed, an any GM that give Nate McOut anything more than a minor league deal to show up at camp next spring is smoking crack as well.

Hah! “McOut”. I laughed out loud
Matthew Gerard Knauer
Nate McLouth has done a tremendous job for the O’s.
WonderboyRooney10
Sure. But you forgot to take into consideration his body of work over the past few years…which has been horrendous.
Matthew Gerard Knauer
The last two were he was mostly injured. Did you actually read the article linked in the story?

Could also consider Jose Bautista’s body of work before he broke out. All I care about is “what have you done for me lately.”
safari_punch
Did McOut break out?
bobulated
Yes, and very happy for him as he’s a nice guy and a hard worker but he’s not resembled even a replacement level MLB player for several years until now. IMHO this an outlier and not the true Nate.

Did 2007-2009 never happen?

I agree he had quite the year for the Mets but that was mainly because our OF was terrible at producing runs this year. I’d love to have him back but he should still expect to play mainly against Lefties to be honest.

League was a great pickup for the Dodgers. Mattingly is also saying that he doesn’t have any problem with closing by committee. If you’ve got three strong options, why not?

While I’m glad Mclouth found his stride again after his abysmal tenure with the Braves I wouldn’t look too far into his recent resurgence
Matthew Gerard Knauer
He sucked with the Braves but has been good with the Pirates and Orioles. I wouldn’t look too far into his years with the Braves.
LayerCake
Well I guess with all the down votes people are going to look way too far into a month and a half of playing.

Boyyy did I catch a lot of flak when I said I liked the Nats picking up Suzuki… *over-elaborate sitcom shrug*
johnsilver
I liked it also. Suzuki is one of the stronger defensive catchers out there and hopefully has found a LT home in Washington.

Suzuki is NO way one of the stronger defensive catchers. He is among the worst. No arm, can’t block the plate, passed balls all over the place. I find it funny when a catcher can’t hit he is seen as seen as good defensively.
1980CHAMPS
Everybody is so worked up about McLouth that they forget this post actually mentions the worst starting catcher in the majors, Kurt Suzuki, in a positive light.
