Elko back to up his max contract value.  Soon to be traded to the dodgers for someone, it’s not important who

Hopefully Elko has figured things out while in Charlotte, we need some power bats in the lineup.

If you would look at his last 30/last 15/Last 7 days on his MILB page, you would not be led to believe that he figured things out

I thought I read somewhere that that he was improving.

Great keep letting Quero rot on the bench. Keep thinking Rojas is worth anything. Idiots.

I was listening to the Score yesterday and they mentioned Venable mentioned that he’s using them as a platoon?  Just dumb.

(yes, I know Quero is in lineup today but they both should be)

I still think that they should make a first basemen out of Teel, make Quero the primary catcher with Lee as the backup.

BTW, Quero is in today’s lineup.

As a guy with a bad back, I hate seeing back issues in guys who run or twist.  Still wonder if it was a part of Vaughn's failure but don't want to derail the thread.  Hope Baldwin gets over it quickly and that it is just muscular.

Did you get that from WBWSF.com

Those have to be his major league stats. Future Sox podcast today was talking about how he's still murdering the ball as much as ever.

 

Edit: yeah BR has him at 1.500 OPS in the last week and .946 OPS last month. Still sitting at a 35% k rate over the last month though so that hasn't changed.

I think they are. The game log below those stats show the games against the Astros in mid-June.

EDIT: Yup

it’s listed weird, you scroll down and it has the rest of his numbers but the recent is at the bottom under game logs.  Last week was good but man June was fuckin terrible

Yeah, this is at the bottom of Elko's BBRef minor league splits page. I'm not gonna count the last 28 days from the game log, but his numbers for the last 3 games line up with the "Last 7 days" here.

Fair enough, you would think you go to MILB.com for MILB numbers or something

This sucks…Baldwin was looking pretty as of late

I'm a little concerned they IL'd him so quickly that it's more than just a muscular issue. Usually at his age you get some back spasms you're good to go in a few days, but if they are being caused by underlying spinal issues, crap.

Always possible. Muscles spasms can be a response to protect an underlying instability.

It’s too bad they couldn’t bring up Elko during the Colorado series with Montgomery.  I’m sure he would have hit a few moon shots and maybe he would have a little momentum in the batters box

I like Baldwin as a super utility player. A Jack of all trades ( run, hit, throw, field, good instincts) but master of none. Elko has a good glove and a history of clutch hitting, if there is such a thing, but with 3 k's today, looking bad, I'm beginning to wonder if he is 4A. Stick with him a little longer but, c'mon man, make some contact.
