I’m afraid a healthy Jazz for any significant amount of time is a pipe dream at this point.

[fish16]

Wendle is an automatic awful at bat followed by rolling over on a weak ground ball

[Nick]

How do you not pinch hit for Wendle with Gurriel or Dane Myers?

How do you not replace Jazz with Myers after the injury?

Skip.

[fish16]

Garrett has been so damn good and consistent all year. His numbers are terrific and they include the night where skip ran him into the ground and allowed him to give up 11 runs in a single outing for some reason. Has a 3.10 era outside of that 1 outing and a really nice whip even with that outing includes

[fish16]

Why is hampson not just starting everyday at shortstop at this point?

[Nick]

Hampson and Berti have been pretty decent this year. I just don’t see the purpose of Wendle.

[fish16]

It remains nonsensical that Edwards is hitting 8th and not leading off. His command and knowledge of the strike zone jumps off the screen every at bat. Let him hit in front of Arraez and create some potential havoc on the base paths before the power bats come up. This team has done everything possible to put their young bats in the worst possible situation to succeed for years now in favor of just awful veteran options

He leads the team in grit and moxie (white guy without batting gloves).

[fish16]

The only inning Robertson has pitched without giving up a walk or hit since coming here was his first outing. Just a truly awful month and a half.

[TheMendozaLine]

Good escape. Was looking like another Robertson disaster.

[Todd]

Don't hate me. Just thinking out loud.

When would you say is time to move on from Jazz? He plays good D at two positions and has some pop while being fairly young.

But on the flipside he is constantly injured and has a meh .750 career OPS(with a .303 career OBP) and he doesn't hit LHP well.

He is an exciting and marketable player when he plays. But is he one you build around?

I think you hang onto him and hope for the best because he wouldn’t have huge value in a deal and we need the dynamic ability in the lineup. Teams know he hasn’t been able to stay healthy and they also watch games and can see he can’t hit lefties. He might just be a platoon guy. A really good platoon guy, but a platoon guy nonetheless. If we had a need for pitching and a viable backup plan I’d deal him, but it’s the complete opposite. Their inability to develop any bats internally kind of makes their decision for them

If the Marlins somehow clinch a Wild Card spot, I’d do this in the 3 game WC series:

Brax
Eury
Luzardo

*if Sandy is shut down which is entirely possible

Yeah, literally anyone but Wendle would be better.
