Picked off 2nd last night...  other than that, been a great start. 

7 for his first 21, 1 hr, 1 triple, 1 double.  1 bb, 3 k's, 1 steal. 

Started at SS last night.

Down to .249 AVG. good luck getting anything meaningful for him now.

[BSLChrisStoner]

.691 OPS, .716 for his career. 

 

.249 average, .256 for  his career. 

 

.790 OPS vs. RHP

.477 OPS vs. LHP

 

.266 / .333 / .422 in April... 
.227 / .253 / .373 in May... 

 

Turned 28 May 2nd. 

 

2020: Arb eligible

2021: Free Agent

 

 

FanGraphs:  -4 DRS, -9.2 UZR / 150 at 2nd,  -1 DRS, -0.5 UZR / 150 at SS. 

 

 

Numbers aren't good, and after 2,500 ML ab's we have a pretty good handle on who he is. 

 

Still, I kind of like him.  He looks like a legitimate ML player. 

 

The horrible production vs. LHP this year seems like a bit of an aberration.  Over the last 3 years, his splits are basically even, and slightly better vs. lefties. 

 

If some contender suffers an injury, he might be movable. Clearly he's not going to be a priority acquisition for anyone. 
In the immediate next year or two, the O's have some real Middle INF questions.  Because of that - and because I don't believe he'd bring back much anything in trade - I'd be fine with them extending him a year through 2021.

OPS up to .710 overall... has 9 steals. 

 

On pace for 19 homers, and 41 doubles.

Villar hits for the cycle!!

 

I was at Oriole Park with my nephew for the last Orioles cycle..... Felix Pie.

Villar is a pretty good player.  A little crazy on the base paths but the good far outweighs the bad with Villar.

 

Only the fifth Oriole to hit for the cycle.  That is impressive

.278 / .349 / .462  (.811)
