According to Twitter the double just missed being a HR by a foot on the fence. 

If he could just be a slightly below average hitter in the majors he'd be useful.  If he was actually league average or better....

@MRubio52: Stinnett 89-91 with moderate run and poor command. Low 3/4, slider flashes, HS used CH sparingly.

Safe to say he didn't like any of the South Bend guys except for Torres.

Isn't this a bit of a pattern for Baez.  Short term wowzer success than K-city?  Are pitchers adapting to him that quickly or is he so impressed with himself he forgets what got him the success?

If I'm doing the math correctly he has 64 PA and 18 K since being back in Iowa for a 28% K rate.  In his last 10 games it is 27%.  If you include his Arizona games his K% since coming back is 22.8%.  It is higher than when he got injured, but seems to be trending down.  His more recent struggles seem to be BABIP related.

McNutt was the one that Tampa Bay wanted instead of Chris Archer.  Sometimes things go awry.

I'm surprised he was still in the organization.

It's funny how that was reported widely right around Hendry's departure back in 2011. Guessing that Hendry probably had off-the-record chats with every baseball writer in Chicago about stuff like that, not for attribution.

Think main guy in that deal was Hak-ju Lee, who is now a .220 AAA singles hitter, after a terrible injury couples years back. Imagine if both Archer AND Lee had turned into impact guys. Archer may have best slider in baseball---a ridiculously great pitch.

There was a lot to like about him before he got hurt, for sure...
