    9/14 New York Mess

    I'm disappointed Porcello can't hit in this series.

    Sandy Leon last hit was nearly a month ago and 1 for his last 38 for a microscopic .026 BA

    We'll have to see if Vazquez can win his job back in the next 2 weeks.

    Meh.

    I stay with Leon in the playoffs.

    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    I personally don't give a shit about Leon's hitting as long as he is optimizing what the guy on the mound is doing. We have hitting out the wazoo, but our pitching is sometimes suspect. Leon's defensive catching stats are way better than Vazquez's or Swihart's, and they don't include how the pitchers have more confidence in him.

    I'm not rooting against Vazquez or Swihart because we all know Leon can't catch every game. When either is catching, I not only root for him but comment when he does something well--including the odd hit now and then. About which, this: when either Vazquez or Swihart gets his OPS above .800, I'll be ready to say it's time to go with a catcher who can hit.

    Since coming back, Vaz has a 611 OPS. Blake's OPS over that time frame is 517. Sandy's is 000.
