Cowart?
ryanw-2
Valbuena.
ScruffyTheJanitor
Coward should be up playing 2nd already.
greatdaysport
He can’t hit major league pitchers.
SashaBanksFan
Neither can espinosa. He should be given a lengthly look. Gotta give him a decent amount of at bats against mlb pitchers without fear of being demoted. I think he could hit no worse than .150. Espinsosa set the bar pretty low

Cowart has 130 AB over two seasons and has only played 23 full games. Most of his at bats come at the end of a game as a pinch hitter. He needs regular playing time to succeed. Look at Revere. After a week of regular at bats he looked like a productive player rather than an automatic out.
ryanw-2
Revere is a veteran. Cowart has never played a full season in the Majors. Cowart has to earn his playing time. He’s not entitled to it.

Gomez will be added to this list shortly.

Gomez ?
Breezy
Carlos Gomez. Pulled hamstring today also.
ryanw-2
All the more reason they signed Valbuena.
angelsfan4life
Didn’t we have this conversation already? Lol jk man. Hopefully this doesn’t hurt the offense any more
ryanw-2
Probably. Lol
Well they also got Cron back on the same day so it’s almost like making a trade.
angelsfan4life
Escobar can actually get extra base hits. Cron is a singles hitter. I’m sorry but a first baseman in 18 games with only 2 extra base hits is pathetic. And has only 3 RBI’s. Valbueno has more in less games.
ryanw-2
LOL Cron is not a singles hitter. He’s a power hitter. But a notoriously slow starter. That’s why his numbers are so low right now. And even when Escobar is hitting .300 his overall value as a hitter is going to be just barely over or under 100 OPS-plus. Cron, even with his slow starts and playing only about half a season in his first 3 years, is going to be around 115-120 OPS-plus.

Valbuena played 3B today and he was not bad… he will be the starting 3B until Escobar comes back …
SashaBanksFan
Cron came back just in time. Now they dont need to choose between cron and valbuena. Both can play …until they both get hurt again.
jules
Valbuena will play 3B and Cron 1B with Pujols alternating as DH with Cron & Valbuena….simple…
halosfan4ever27
Man if only escobar can stay healthy for most of the season. He has playing great but with valbuena as a replacement, this doesn’t affect us to bad
