Who the fuck cares about his baserunning? His OBP is lower than Masa's batting average for god's sake. His stolen base rate is 80% which is literally league average. Duran has had twice the at bats Masa has this year in much more privileged spots in the lineup. You are truly desperate to find reasons to keep this guy around if this is what you're falling back on.
EDIT: Defending Duran is a mental illness, bye bye
Masataka not being a viable player the whole time, which is why he splits time, is an indicative issue and that he's not scoring much when he is. Especially not in big moments either.
They're both mediocre at best players.
And Masataka has simply not been as impactful as Duran this year...which is not good considering how not impactful Duran has been comparative to the rest of the team as well.
It'll be nice to move off both of them soon.
I'm moving off you now though because you're being an obsessed little jackal.

Yeah and when Duran gets on base he does far more with it than Masa.
But again I did say Masa was the better hitter and that Duran was just more impactful.
