You just repeated they he could have 2 starts as well and I just wanted the correct info posted. Please don't get upset over an honest attempt at a correction. Thank you.

mavsfan23 1,182 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Is it Ervin or Vanmeter to get the AB’s in Cincy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street sharks 3,238 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Well damn this probably kills any chance he had at getting 2B elig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 4,145 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 VanMeter already was basically playing near daily, but def will be now. Hope they still move him around a bit, also Scooter could be dealt yet to open up 2nd. Also he prob should not need to be sitting v LH...dude has put up a .358/.435/.774 against them in AAA this year in 50+ ABs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, he should play there pretty consistently and still move around a bit too. Had another couple walks today, along with a base knock, run and SB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tryptamine 926 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Really hope he is what the peripherals show he is. I invested probably more than I should have in him, but his skill set in that park could produce some really strong results. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kwolf68 353 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Really like his approach at the plate. And yes would love to see the Reds give him looks against lefties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Von Hayes 232 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) This guy could be a difference maker down the stretch, particularly in points leagues. Rarely strikes out, can take a walk, hits for power, and has multi-position eligibility in most formats. Trades of Puig and Scooter have cleared the way for plenty of playing time. If he starts regularly against lefties the rest of the way, look out! Edited August 1, 2019 by Von Hayes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kwelch 969 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Shocked to see him sitting today. Thought he would be a lock for everyday playing time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dod959 1,018 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 David Bell would put literally any right handed human being in the lineup against a LHP. Peraza .727 OPS vs. LHP? Get him in there! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tryptamine 926 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Guy only has a 148wRC+ in his first 91 MLB PAs, so he must sit so that a guy with a 65wRC+ can get ABs.Veteran something something something. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MSkibisky 775 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Yep, thats the Reds for ya. Lets sit a guy batting .471 this week. Edited August 1, 2019 by MSkibisky 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChicksDigTheOPS 2,479 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) this guy can really hit. I think he'll be the "Jeff McNeil" of 2019. He has dual 2B/OF eligibility in some leagues too, which is sexy. Edited August 1, 2019 by ChicksDigTheOPS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tryptamine 926 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Benched again. Unless Bell is actively trying to tank, this just doesn't make any sense. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members_Only_76 7,249 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 It’s not just Bell. It’s happening everywhere and it’s sorta ruining the sport for me, fantasy aside. Lineup tinkering is out of hand. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hangin n wangin 1,703 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yea this is pretty shameful. Especially since it’s the ******** Reds. At least the Rays have more respectable players. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street sharks 3,238 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) He has 10 AB vs lefties. They’re not even giving him a chance to succeed against them Edited August 3, 2019 by street sharks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slimzy17 187 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 This is ridiculous... can't keep this guy if that's all the playing time he's going to get. Baseball is not that complicated.... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

street sharks 3,238 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Stealing like a mad man. Three steals in the last four games. Sucks he isn't playing every day Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sucks he isn't playing every day You guys have to be patient. Managers aren't just gonna wholesale replace vets in the lineup. Plsyers have to be slowly worked into the rotation and slowly worked out of it. The better he plays the more he'll play until eventually he's just the starter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hellgrammite 186 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 His speed and power metrics don't look that too impressive, and he has been caught twice already stealing. Not saying the guy can't be solid, but most ball clubs are looking at the metrics as well and will give veterans the first chance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
