Lindor was an impact player last year and is on pace for 30 HR/ 100 RBI this year and plays good defense. How many shortstops will have those numbers?

He’s also on pace for the most strikeouts in his career (by far), the lowest batting average in his career, and the second lowest ops in his career (the only season lower being his first season as a Met).

His BA doesn't bother me, he's hitting .277 w/.878 OPS with RISP and .286 w/.875 OPS with RISP and 2 outs, thats more important to me.

There’s a point where the batting average and on base percentage is so low that he’s not creating RISP for others, especially since he’s locked in at the top of the order. Hitting .218 is too low for a third batter in my opinion.

Was happy to see him go and they got some minor leaguers hopefully they are good and will grow with the organization over time. I think they said they were both in the 18-20 range in LA’s minor league system. So nothing glamorous and potentially nothing for the major leagues for a few years.

The bigger issue is the overall lack of offense. Verlander pitched 5 shit out innnings and the team lost.

And the bullpen, which I think of truly horrific, actually pitched just fine. This just strikes me as a team that won’t put things together. They’ll score 9 in an 11-9 loss or score nothing when the pitchers actually show up. That strikes me as a symptom of purchased guys. Love some of the young guns coming up. Think long term and get prospects that can develop rather than a bunch of older players that you’re locking in for their worst seasons at huge money.

I agree. And with their bullpen stretched to the limit, Buck uses their best guys in games they're losing and then they aren't available when they're winning!!

and we can all criticize Lindor all we want and his low average but he is one the top offensive Shortstops at the moment with his HR's and RBI's
