    Why is that for sure? Why is a 0.750 OPS guy not good enough as your universal backup bench infielder / left-fielder? Who are all the teams out there that have someone better in that role?

    Two errors (one being throwing) and completely sucked at the plate. I think Diaz will be fine in long run, but is either in a serious funk or playing through something. It is very odd for a contact hitter to have this much of an issue putting the ball in play even in a small sample size.

    They've scored 4 runs tonight. The highest run total of the season. I think pretty much everyone is under performing but we're freaking 6 games into the season. Jfc.

    I wasn't watching the game. I was busy but listening to Blummer or whomever on the TV say this. Blame him.

    Including the minors and Cuba, he's never started any game at 1B as best I can tell.

    Pretty sure the best answer for a guy having trouble fielding and whose confidence must be a bit shaken is to put him at a position he's never fielded. But at least he doesn't have to throw...

    Co
    Considering he has played zero innings in LF this season, that’s an odd stat.

    I only looked at his ESPN profile page which said LF.

    Pretty sure which ever position you select, a -0.4 WAR this early in the season is going to put him near the bottom.

    Ok. Let's not **** on Marwin. We don't win a WS without him

    Not denying that... :)

    He has played the majority of his time at 3B with Sano out....

    I'm actually pretty shocked that there are 32 position players in MLB (out of 584) with a worse WAR.

    Marwin will always be loved in Houston, regardless of how the rest of his career turns out.
