Cliff Lee didn't look so hot
and I was kind of hoping he’d be at least a small facor in the playoffs
unbelievable
we better not lose this game or my anger from before will reach armegeddon type levels
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Crazy man.

It's a shame Cliff Lee won't take the loss if this thing goes against our boys tonight.
He looks like John Koronka out there.

If the team loses 10-9, then it's too bad Lee doesn't get saddled with the loss
for the shitbag performance, but whatever. That’s baseball. That’s all I was trying to say.

He's been pretty close to average against lefties this year despite Citi Field, and has been better than that over his career.
And he’s at least a solid corner outfielder. As long as nothing relevant is given up, he’s decent depth on this team and a solid platoon option for Murphy.
GET THIS SHIT DONE, KIRKMAN!

I actually would, too.
And Francouer is more needed for us.
I’m not going to be able to stand watching him, though. No sir.
As long as he only plays his platoon role, he should be ok.

Slightly.
Not enough to be excited about, but he gives them a good defensive corner infielder who can put up average performance against lefties, so he has more value to the Rangers.
his uzr looks pretty decent
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
He has a strong defensive reputation, won a Gold Glove and is good in every defensive metric.
I’m not sure who told you he sucks.
TZL
is pretty negative (-26 last two years). UZR has him average over the past three years. DRS thinks he’s comfortably above average over the that span.
+55 career in RF.
37.8 career UZR there.

Of course, looking at the yearlies, UZR has him kinda sucking out there the last couple years.

Their BB/K ratios are incredibly similar, which is what I was looking at, but actually it’s because Francouer is really, really terrible at taking walks. Like Julio Borbon/Bengie Molina bad.

Never, ever get excited about horrible plate discipline until you’ve had a few years of it working out.
