Yeah, it's going to take a tad more than a couple good games before you can legitimately say JD is turning it around. He's dug himself quite a hole.

I understand that it's not going to happen all at once, but he's hit a couple HR's this week and has cut his K rate down over the same period. So yes, it is possible for his recent success to indicate that he's turning a corner at the plate.

1-3 so far. AVG only at .154, but it's a real good sign that he isn't striking out. Only 6 Ks in 55 PA. Over a 550 PA season, that's only 60 Ks. Not bad at all.

I'll have to disagree. Sure, maybe we look back at these past two games in a month or two and say that this is where he started to turn it around. But to call these two good games anything more than two good games is just overly optimistic thinking. We need to see Danks significantly cut his K% over a considerable period of time before we declare him "fixed".

 

Also are we really calling 2-7, 2 HR "recent success"? He's hitting .184/.225/.368 over his last 10 games with 2 BB/12 SO (30% K%).

Flowers 0-4 but . . . 0 K's!

Welcome to the majors Dayan!!!

He'll be back at 3B with Viciedo's promotion.

 

Gilmore's hitting streak continues.

Apart from four walks Marquez put up a good line. Nick Swisher Who?

I think the money for Dayan Viciedo also came from Nick Swisher trade so maybe it isn't a lost cause after all.

Well after 2 months of straight suck from him any sign of a pulse is a positive which is the point that I'm making.
