[You Play to Win the Game]

Hays had 18 walks in 351 MiLB AB's this year (5.2%). He has 5 in 54 MLB AB's so far (9.3%).

That's about double the pace, at a higher level. That's also still way too small a sample size, but it's better than having just a walk or two.

Roch reiterated today he's supposed to report to AFL next week.

Elias said the plan is to have him play another week or two to make up for some of the lost injury time.

Dean Kremer is in the AFL for the same reason

Oh ok. Good to hear if for no reason that it gets him some extra reps.

Part of me says he is healthy, has performed well up here and not to tempt fate but I don’t mind the move at all.

[BobPhelan]

Not going to the AFL anymore. Apparently he got enough at bats this month and they’ve seen enough to know what to do with him.

Does Austin Hays have a shot at being a decent everyday CF?

I don't think he has any shot at CF.

That's so dumb.

Yeah, he looked good to me at the end of the year, although the bar had been set pretty low until then.

[NickStevens]

He may not be the best long term option but he will be just fine out there. Ridiculous take. That kid gives it his all out there on a nightly basis and still has the tools to be a solid major leaguer for a long time, despite his already long list of injuries.

The more I read Keith Law, the more aggravated I become.   i can see questioning the bat.  Is he questioning the glove?

 

There is an old saying that comes to mind, when I think of Keith Law.

 

"I would like to buy him for what he is worth and sell him for what he thinks he is worth."

MASN: Mancini on Hays: “I think he’s going to be a force in the league”

Trey showing some leadership qualities speaking up for his guy.

 

Hays is one of the guys, I want to see.  Hopefully he stays healthy.  I think, he is a plus centerfielder, with a good arm.  Hopefully he proves to be a hitter.

3 for 23, no XBH's, 3 bb's, 6 k's. 

 

@BSLOnTheVerge

Have to believe Austin Hays is going to go on a run soon. Despite a .143 average through just 4 games, Hays has an expected average of .319 which ranks in the top 9% of the league and his wOBA-xwOBA of -.207 ranks in the top 2% of hitters. A bit of bad luck?

[Mackus]

If Hays can walk 3X a week I think the rest should follow. Not exactly optimistic that'll happen because I think he still gives away far too many at bats. But the super low average is certainly a fluke.

Perfect example of why you can’t take much away from this season.

0 for 5 last night. My boy is pressing a bit.  Needs to find some green.
