Next up who needs that "breather" is...........

M. Winn/Month of June:
90 PA's
.202 .256 .250 .506

His BR say's 185 lbs, I say more like 170 lbs and shrinking in the St. Louis heat.

Saggese needs to get some time at SS so Winn can get at least a game a week off until it cools down.

Yup Noot looks like a different man.

PitcherList analyst Nate Schwartz did an interesting breakdown on Noot's struggles yesterday:

All of this is to say that I think the best version of Nootbaar is the uber-passive one, with a ceiling of a 125 wRC+. That's a good player, but I don't think the superstar potential is there.

We're currently seeing his attempt at aggression, and it simply isn't working.

I'm wondering if he's either gone back to a more passive approach, or his new aggression is finally paying off and Schwartz was wrong?
