Nasty change

That's the funky swing he'll get on offspeed that we were told about

@Jack Parkman Really thinking that 85 mph pitch is the change now

The tweet was referring to starters. Also, he ran through the stop sign

Inning Over!

Hopefully we can get two more out of him

Yeah, they are all messed up on his offspeed stuff trying to uppercut it for popups.

He's better than anyone in the organization available right now. 

The fact that Leury can play a decent SS and decent CF should make him really valuable this trading deadline.

His SS play is going hurt our young pitchers in the majors. 

Getting out of trouble nicely

Yeah I looked at it again and I maintain the slider. His change has a lot less downward movement. When I identify pitches I look at movement + speed. 

Looks like his change is 83-85 and the slider is 84-86.

I've literally observed Herrera hit 99 on more than one occasion.

That says starter?

What, exactly, should we be doing instead?

Name a better SS in this org. The options are Rondon, Yolmer, Mendick, Goins and Alcides Escobar

Okay? Not anything that can be done about it

I dont get paid figure that out. I can see, like others, his defense at SS is brutal

I know you're probably plastered by now, but this horse has been dead for a while. Please do not resuscitate.

Yeah, some of Leury’s errors are frustrating but I don’t see another option.  Surprised he seems to have gotten better at CF when middle infield was his original position.  He definitely has some value though.

You could make an argument for Escobar defensively but the downgrade with the bat isn't worth it. 

Hell, I'd rather have Alceides Escobar up here playing short and Rondon to the minors until TA comes back 

Jose likes the hot weather!!

Abreu locked in

It's also why you have take the good with the bad with TA.

Edit: Also, this lead me to revisit Anderson's metrics and I knew he was rangey, but he led baseball in OOZ plays last year. wtf

I would put Leury back in center and let Escobar play ss

Abreu has always been a 2nd half hitter.
