Leon is the heart of the team and had been a catalyst on defense and offense

there is no denying how good he is on defense...and he has proven to be pretty clutch at the plate too.. doesn't he have 9-10 dingers now?

not much of the team is hitting well and hitting consistently right now...Leon will come around like he others. Dude is a ball player

Great to see Mikie show some flashes of his ability...I always liked the kid as an athlete from STM... but I'll take Leon in center right now and be plenty happy with it

Derby, Leon, besides his HR power, hasnt really gotten much better than last year. When he was just an adequate hitter as a FR.

He was basically all we had last year, so he played.


He has the tools to be a great player, hopefully he can put it together

I hope you are right, but LL has been in a freefall and is striking out 2-3 times a game lately. His average is now down to .256 and he's struck out 21 times in 78 ABs, I think. The 21 Ks leads the team by far. And these numbers come after he was on fire the first couple of weeks, which means he has really struggled the last few weeks. Not ready to give up on him yet, but he has looked horrible at the plate as of late.

Agreed. I don't think it is time to call for a change yet, but I wouldn't mind seeing MM start against a lefty and seeing what he can do. He can't do much worse than LL has recently.
