They Profar to go with Jurickson at the top of the order.
He’s got a couple home runs already, but Jurickson Profar is still getting his footing, hitting .219/.242/.406 (76 wRC+) in his first games back from suspension. He’s probably not the right guy to really insert at the top of the order at the moment, especially given that he isn’t walking and he’s striking out a lot. It’s only been a week, I know, but that’s what I meant about timing. Ronald Acuña has been doing a lot better, but he hasn’t had many days off. Given the way this season is going, they probably need to take some measures to protect him.
Meanwhile on the other side, Cedric Mullins is making me mad. After a scorching start to the season and my attempt to sell high, he’s slid over the past month or so. After a 165 wRC+ in April, he’s had 54 and 36 in the two months since, which somehow still gives him a 105 on the year. He’s been on a lot of midseason trade lists, but I’m not really sure why. His Statcast is gross, too.
