Can Rosario pitch?

On the radio broadcast yesterday Wayne Randazzo was saying that Rosario has expressed that he would welcome the chance to try CF, and is actually excited about the idea. That doesn't mean he can do it successfully, but him wanting to do it is half the battle.

At some point they will have to do something to make way for Andres Gimenez or someone else to play SS. Any way you measure it (or just by watching him), Rosario is one of the worst fielding SS in MLB.

Giminez is defintely a few years away...rocking a sub-.300 OBP in AA. About 3 months away from his 21st bday, so figure MAYBE 2022 at the earliest.

His skill set is much better matched to CF. He's the fastest runner on the team, has a good arm. And, offensively, he blows away Lagares and Gomez.

While people whine, "But Juan Samuel...". Lots of top CFs started as infielders, including Lagares.

Although he did hit .277 with .344 OBP in 153 PA last year at double-A. He has had some injury problems this year.......time will tell.

If he can not hit, there is no point. I do agree though that Lagares
now seems washed up

Umm no you are not a natural SS. You are a natural AAA player at this point

Except he is hitting and more importantly, driving in runs.
Compare this to Lagares or Gonzeles.
He's 4th in RBI and 5th in runs, usually batting deep in the lineup.
So he is producing runs. He's hitting with some power, and he's
the fastest runner on the team, leading the team in SBs.

I agree there's no point if he continues having an OBP under .300 (.297 so far this year). But I do think that at 23 there's still some upside for him offensively. With the way he can run the bases, it's worth finding out.

not enough to justify a starting position, let alone CF.

Why do I always ready these posts by you and think your working in an
alternative reality. Driving in runs is bullshit and he is not driving
in runs. And he is not hitting. What he is doing is blowing baseball
games, like when he can't make a damn relay through and he shows the
worst range of any SS in baseball.

Jacob DeGrom would be a better SS.

BA 257 OBP .297 SLUG .417 OPS .714 OPS+ 91

WHich part of this stat line says he can hit? NONE of it.


It is dead flat of what he did last year...


This experiement is OVER and the needs to go to AAA to learn to hit and
to learn to field.

My infield right now would be
Frazier, McNeil, Cano and Alfonso

What are the minimums, in your opinion, to be considered a major league hitter?

He is outhitting Cano, but I expect Cano to end the season doing much better.

He is outhitting both Lagares and Gomez big time. Runs produced do count.

not as you define them. RBIs don't couunt and Runs scored don't count.
Sluggining % and OBP matter, and OPS+ means even more.

The reason he still has upside as a hitter is that (as Hernandez has pointed out many times) when he swings at good pitches, he has a definite ability to make hard contact. He can sting the ball. He's no "Punch and Judy" hitter. If he could swing at fewer bad pitches, his numbers would come up, both OBP and SLG. IOW, strike zone judgement.

Easy to say, I know. Who knows if he will ever take that step forward. But he's going to have to get better at *something* if he intends to keep a starting MLB job much longer, no matter what position he's playing.
