He's batting .295/.401/.488 since April 16th...
the only way they even think of trading him is if they bring up both baez and bryant and need to use him to clear 40 man spots , otherwise he sticks as a veteran LH back up batHe's batting .295/.401/.488 since April 16th...
VS
RH pitching: 136 AB .279/.391/.456
LH pitching: 20 AB .250/.348/.350
I'm not sure why they do not play him every day at 3B. Olt hitting .200/.289/.575 is not much of an improvement.
Reality:
Olt in 40 AB vs LH pitching 7 RBI of production
Val in 20 AB 3. So x2 AB's 6. Not much loss but a higher OBA.
Valbuena is capable of playing 2B...Probably Olt's .844 OPS vs. LHP. Olt is definitely the better option vs. LHP.
Valbuena is capable of playing 2B...
Sorry, he's at best a throw in on that type of dealI have decided that I want Valbuena traded. His BABIP is through the roof at .373. He currently has the highest wOBA amongst 3B and 2B(by almost 20 points for 2B). His value has never been higher. We should get rid of him and get someone who can be apart of this team going forward, ideally an OF or P.
