    Javier Baez will be likely be remembered for his Cubs high or his Tigers low, but sandwiched between those is an unbelievably brief but eventful stint as a New York Met...

    He's a perfect guy for someone like the Yankees to pick up or someone who is in a dogfight of a pennant chase. I call it Von Miller syndrome as a Broncos fan. If you are playing San Diego in May on a Wednesday, he will absolutely tank. But if he is under the bright lights of a Super Bowl, he will have the game of his life.

    As much as we complained about Citi Field dimensions, they are not Comerica Park, and I believe the fact that Citi Field had better dimensions for hitting than Comerica Park is why Baez did better especially in the power department, add that with being in a contract year, and playing with a friend is a recipe for success, honestly if Baez remained with the Mets he’d most likely be a .240-.260 hitter with 25-30 HR power, he’d revert to his high strike out self, but his power wouldn’t be as stunted.

I always told him, papi, you need to cut down on that high kick because you are really late and unbalanced with your swings and striking out too much.

    Obviously he never should have done the thumbs down, but that was a pretty pathetic reaction by New Yorkers, to be honest

Javy at this point is the final poison pill in the disastrous tenure of Al Avila. Both men may as well be Satan in Detroit. Especially after watching this video I hope for both parties sake they can find a way to move on from each other, get his career back on track elsewhere and get someone in Detroit who can help the struggling offense.
