knightni Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Avi's problem is that he extends himself too soon on pitches and loses potential power options on fastballs. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...struggles-plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmooncreeping Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 18, 2015 -> 01:41 PM) Avi's problem is that he extends himself too soon on pitches and loses potential power options on fastballs. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...struggles-plate I think he seems late on swings and basically shanks pitches to RF with no authority, no driving of the ball. It just kind of ends up out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 His problem is he swings at pitches that are hard for anyone to do anything with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, even Vlady would have a tough time getting hits with the pitches Avi swings at. Comes back to pitch recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch recognition, strike zone discipline, we're all saying the same thing. Can't be successful this way. But at least he's horrible in the outfield.

fathom Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I know someone earlier mentioned the news that Holliday is getting reps at 1B now. To me, that's a great idea for the Cardinals. However, I think that instead of going after Gordon, they'll make a trade for Cargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the Cards have the pitching depth in the minors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 What does it mean that Holliday is getting time at 1B now? Is St. Louis having some kind of winter training camp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is St. Louis having some kind of winter training camp? I read something that said he's practicing grounders at a 1B wherever he's training, but it's a big deal because he refused to consider this in the past. Considering how bad his defense is and the available outfielders, it makes all the sense in the world (especially with his bad legs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya they show Iwakuma highlights this morning on Hot Stove. What do I see? Avi swinging at a fastball he has no business swinging at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't shock me if he's dealt to the Rockies with Marco Gonzales for Cargo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
