You can see that its so early in the season that just one "0-4" can drop you from .860 to .792. He also leads the Rangers in hrs(3) and rbi(12).<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-14662">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Had to double check that ops for Nevin, as I just did that yesterday.

A very strong theme; ex-pitchers from the Padres don't do much, but ex-hitters do. This vaguely coincides with my belief that Towers is very good at assessing pitchers, but not so much with hitters. It also coincides with Bochy's willingness to use pitchers well, regardless of age (in fact, with Tankersly and others, often puts young pitchers in too high of leverage situations), but seems loath to play young players who can hit but are not great defenders. He will play Khalil because he can field, but wouldn't play Nady. I hope the Padres get someone focused on assessing and playing young hitters.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-14660">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> One’s that got away tracking:
