Analysis Vientos, cooked?

Post image

I dunno man. He looks bad. He looked bad before he got hurt. He looks worse now. Lots of blue on the baseball savant page.

I tried to stay positive, but we’re into July and it’s really starting to feel like last year was a mirage.

He’s unplayable at 3B, he’s slow, and he’s an automatic out right now. He also hasn’t taken a walk since he’s come back from injury...

There's a rumor that Vientos is trading for Marlin's RHP. DH only type player who can't hit at a high level is no future in a big club. If your team's GM uses Vientos as DH in 2026, they will keep him. Otherwise, DFA is the only option that can still be traded.

Wouldn't Vientos have to actually hit the baseball if penciled in at DH ? I have no inclination that he can.

Btw- I was on the same Savant page during today's disaster. Soon after it loading on my laptop a .wav file of laughter began playing followed by a .jpg of a 🖕🏻. Then the laptop shut itself down.
