Baez is interested in getting some experience in the OF:

I wonder if he is open to cutting down on his K's.....

In his last 19 games, Baez has 19 K's in 86 PAs with 8 BBs and an OPS of .886.  Evidence of progress?

Yeah, but not enough to get him called up sooner than Sept 1.  Barring injury.

It's the 4-man bench before Sept 1.  Similar story to La Stella--who has been optioned.

Herrera is out of options and, therefore, would have to be outrighted/exposed to revocable waivers. Further, Herrera has the service time to refuse an outright. Maddon likes Herrera. With a 4-man bench, the Herrera issues have to be addressed, one way or the other, before bringing up an infielder before Sept. 1. 

So, whatever happens before Sept. 1, it's not simple.

On Sept 1, it's more simple.

I'm guessing 19 games ago was the 2 HR game.  Probably if you do his last 18 games, then the OPS is probably mid/low .700's?  Fun with cutoffs.   :)

He's going to have his ups and his downs.  I think it's good to let him play through both of them, don't freak out too much over the downs, or the ups.

As I think I pointed out few days ago, the high Ks went with the hot streak and the low Ks went with the slump.

Go figure with this guy.

Love the talent.  Love the natural baseball instincts.  Love the face.  Love the upside.

No idea about this guy's future.

Maddon likes Herrera.

Herrera gets some eye-rolls around here, but I think he's been pretty good for what he is.  Not a huge contributor offensively, but I can remember some key hits from him earlier in the season, and I think Joe has used him really well.

I think Maddon has been really good at using all his pieces.  The worst thing I can think of is when he kept going to Schlitter early in the season looking for that ground ball.  Maybe some quick hooks on starting pitchers, but, like Hammel last night, that was justified by the game situation.  It's part of why I trust them to get the Schwarber development right.

Chris Pieters has been out a while. Figured he was hurt. Turns out he was promoted to Mesa.
