Arcia.

Hitless in '19

Useless.

It's time.

Really conflicted on him.

I think 6 games is too early to make any definitive decisions.

But, he's also got 1200 ABs and he is what he is. I don't think he will ever hit much more than what he's shown.

But also, what was last month+ of the season last year? A total fluke?  He went .803 OPS from Sept 1 to Oct 1 and then .969 in playoffs.  Decent sample size. 

I don't know. I think you gotta give him April and see if anything happens. May 1 and he's back to <.600 OPS and I think then you have to made a hard decision.

(LITERALLY as I'm typing this out he just hit a 3R HR... LOLOL)

I hate him just a tad less right about now...

Still, unless he hits .240, he ain't worth it.

He gives them gold-glove caliber defense up the middle (along with Cain in center) and that somewhat softens the blow of having to play weak defenders (at least at the positions they line up at) like Braun and Moustakas. Still, he has to hit .220 to .240 to not be a total liability on offense, especially in the NL where this means your 8 and 9 hitters are black holes. 

Loved today's game listening on the mlb app. Had to go into a work thing with 1 out in the 9th and was preoccupied in my own head the whole time. Man what a performance from Peralta and a great play by Arcia to end it. Arcia is such a tough call. A 10 on D and a ? at the plate. If he was juicing last October I'd encourage him to start up again and take this the risk.
