Jeffrey Baez is on fire!! I guess all it took was moving him to
the leadoff spot.

Sorry I forgot to add the qualifier when Baez was ready. You
could back through my posting history and see I posted the same
thing about Baez and his timing issues on Aug 3, or a day before
I was calling for is recall in your mind.

Okay, so at least you are now backing off your nonsense that,
"There is nothing in the full quote that implies I want it done
this very instant in the partial quote you pulled," and the
implication I was taking your quote out of context or that
something in the rest of your post made clear you did not mean
what you were saying in the language I quoted. At least that is
some progress.
Of course there was nothing in any of your posts on August 3 to
suggest YOU felt Baez should be left in the minors (you did post
to the effect that you recognized, "Baez might not be up for a
few weeks at the earliest," but not that he also should not be
called up for at least a few weeks, just that if might not
happen, regardless what you might want).

There is nothing in that quote that was meant to say right now.
I may have not been clear enough for you. I'm sorry that I don't
put absolutes in my posts when dealing with prospects, but it
was pretty clear from all of my previous posts that I thought
Baez wasn't ready. Please don't dislocate your shoulder trying
to pat yourself on the back for being the only one to say Baez
wasn't ready.

I don't know what you "meant to say." I only know what you
said. What you said is exactly as I have indicated. If it were
not you would not now be weaseling over what you "meant to say,"
but would instead have been pointing to what you did write. As
to patting myself on the back, I not only have not indicated I
deserve any praise for the observation, but have pointed out
that it was perfectly apparent. And in my case it is not just
that I "meant" to write that, but that I did.

With Almora's hot streak, he's move up and beyond several
thresholds: .250 batting average; .290 and .300 OBP; .630,
.650, and .670 OPS; with some hits he's up to .373 slugging now,
too, high point on the year.
I'd been concerned with groundouts; but his GO/AO of 1.12 isn't
bad. I haven't been reading the game logs much since May. But
checking these last two nights in which he's gotten six hits,
two of them were actually reported as line drives, both to left
field. (The others were two grounders, a bloop, and a bunt.)
If he's going to blossom into a .700-OPS type guy, he'll
probably need to both hit some line drives once in a while, and
to use left field at least a little bit, so that's nice to see.
He appears to have become an accomplished bunter.
Even after recent binge, BABIP only up to .272, low for a
supposed line-drive contact guy. Not sure it's all bad luck; if
you take weak, soft swings towards CF/RF, perhaps not conducive
to line drives or BABIP. But, supposed the BABIP is just bad
luck; replace .272 with .300 BABIP would add 23 points to his
batting average. Adding an extra 23 points to average, OBP, and
23+ to slugging, at .730 OPS and .400 slugging he'd look more
interesting. .300 BABIP shouldn't seem unrealistic; most
good-hitting prospects in the minors BABIP much higher than
.300. But, that kind of goes with hitting line drives and
hitting the ball hard semi-regularly.
Maybe Almora future can emerge like Contreras, scuffle for
several years, than suddenly becoming a high-BABIP hitter.

The nice thing about Almora is he doesn't have to be a great
offensive player to be a useful major league player. I wonder if
some of his struggles have been working to refine his approach.
It would certainly be great if he could a .700 OPS CF, wth his
defense in center that would be a 3-4 WAR player. Even if he's
below league average on offense he could still be a 2-3 WAR
player.
Jes don't bother replying I put you back on ignore.
