Derek Dietrich Called Up

[Todd]

Probably.

He would probably be better than Olivo. And Mathis.

[Mainge]

He would probably be better than Olivo. And Mathis.

Maybe

[Todd]

Actually I would guarantee he would be better than Olivo.

[Bobbob1313]

I bet Miguel Olivo won't have a .194 BABIP all season.

[Mainge]

Actually I would guarantee he would be better than Olivo.

Well that's a stupid guarantee

[HUGG]

Skipworth should be in AAA getting at bats. It's fucking stupid that he's up here.

[Bobbob1313]

Skipworth should be in AAA getting at bats. It's fucking stupid that he's up here.

Definitely.

[Todd]

Well that's a stupid guarantee

Miguel Olivo is terrible at everything associated with the game of baseball. Skipworth has to be just a smidge bit less terrible.

[Bobbob1313]

Miguel Olivo is terrible at everything associated with the game of baseball.

This is why people yell at you.

[Todd]

Its not wrong.

[Bobbob1313]

Yeah, it is. Pointing out that it is requires me to defend a putrid baseball player, but it's also factually incorrect.

[Todd]

I dont think theres any defense of Olivo there. He can neither hit nor field his position adequately

[Bobbob1313]

Ugh.
--------------------
He's got a good arm and has above average pop in his bat from the catcher position.

Yes, the overall package is a bad player. But you did the thing where you said something ridiculous when something less ridiculous would make the point just fine.

[Todd]

I dont see what there is to ugh about. What does Olivo do well, or more rather, what do you think he will do better than a Skipworth?

[HUGG]

Everything.

Skipworth hit .217 in AA last season.
