Hanley Ramirez and Choate Traded to Dodgers for Eovaldi and Minor Leaguer

[Jay]

I think having the word coach should be replaced with analyst. These hitters don't need coaching, they just need someone to spend the legwork watching hours of video.

I don't think Vin Scully could tell a story about Hanley's neighborhood baseball game when he was 8 years old in 140 characters.

Here's Vin discussing a recent "twitter or twit" the Dodgers received from Victorino: http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?co...y_23518419&v=3

Whats wrong about it?

Walks drawn are few and far between. They go up there hacking with very little approach. And it has gotten systematically worse.

13th in the majors in BB%

15th in K%


--------------------

And it has gotten systematically worse.

Although, 7th in BB%.

But then 24th in K% last season!!!

But also, identical BB% from last season to this, with a lower K% = "systematically worse."

I dislike when people emphatically make falsifiable assertions that can be easily checked with 30 seconds of research.

Also, just for funzies.

Hanley's stats

LAD: .225/.314/.419 -- BB% - 11.4; K% - 19.4
MIA: .246/.322/.428 -- BB% - 9.4 ; K% - 20.4

Clearly, this is nepotism's fault.

Zero percent chance I get a solid response to this, right?

I don't know if anyone has realized this since he had that hot little start but all in all, Hanley is basically doing the same shit in LA that he was doing here so far. Small sample sizes are fun.

Somebody realized it, though they are a big dummy and forgot to specify that he was citing Hanley's stats...

My bad.

Mclevin and I were just talking about that today
