Didn't see a player page for him here.

 

Great interview with him in the A's game (4/12). Easy guy to root for.  Grounded.

 

Coulombe's next appearance will be his 200th.

 

"Frenchie" was drafted in the 25th round (Dodgers) in 2012. Pick #776.

 

Pick #776 has only seen 4 players make the Majors. Dewon Day (2002, Jays) pitched in 13 games with a -0.5 WAR. Andy Dominique (1997, Phils) posted for 13 ABs and a .368 OPS for a -0.3 WAR.

 

12 year ML vet Mike Mordecai (1986, Pirates) was also drafted #776 but posted a -2.8 WAR over his 793 games and 1362 ABs (.665 OPS)

 

Danny has posted a 1.9 WAR in his almost 200 appearances so barring something crazy, he's the best player drafted #776 of All-Time....and since MLB shortened the draft after the 2019 season, we likely never have another 25th round so he can keep adding and comfortably claim "Best #776" in the history of MLB. 

 

Write it in ink Frenchie.

Vavra was doing nothing -- get it going in Norfolk.

He became the odd man out.  

 

This roster has too many infielders seeing time in the outfield.

If only he was a cast off retread from another team Elias would give him a good look

Sadly, Hicks probably adds more value than Vavra. At least Hicks can play a competent CF.
