Good breakdown and well done!
The only thing I disagree with is that Marisnick probably isn't that much of an upgrade over Gomez. The fact is that Jake is horrid at the plate and Gomez is a huge upgrade over him.
Jake - .100/.182/.282
Gomez - .200/.221/.474
Just for comparison...Castro - .114/.250/.455
That's right. Marisnick is worse at the plate than Castro
And speaking of McCullers...WTF is the deal? We haven't heard anything lately. Should I be concerned about the injury or pissed he's being held back?
You literally can't compare Jake and Gomez. One plays every day, one bats once a week.
With how Gomez has started, Jake should absolutely be getting 1 of every 3 starts in center. Just like Tucker the past two seasons, Santana last year, and many other guys.. Hinch refuses to play anyone but his favorites especially when the favorites are struggling.
