Jeff Mathis

[Troll Daddy]

I'm one of the few that has never said anything bad on this guy. He always gave a100% and never complained. No he never panned out the way we all hoped but he never hurt the team. In fact, his offense in the playoffs is better than Trouts

especially from behind

Agreed. 

 

IMO he got more playing time than I would have liked, but that is the fault of Scioscia's irrational hatred of Mike Napoli, nothing against Mathis himself.

Sosh kind of guy, he hits under 200

If my math is correct the 27 outs Jeff Mathis has a firm hand in creating are 9 times more valuable than 3 he gives up with bat.#angels

 

 

LOL. good ol' lyle and man-crush are still alive and well.

Now the question is does he bat before the pitcher or after?

 

Watched part of the Cubs-Dodgers game a couple of days ago and Joe Maddon had his pitcher batting eighth. 

 

If he were still in the AL, a manager might be better off letting his pitchers hit and having the DH bat for Mathis.

Hey, for all the digs at Mathis here, one thing is clear.

 

He has managed to eke out a nearly 10 year MLB career despite his meager offensive out put.

 

I would take an educated guess that that 10 years of MLB service time puts him in the top 30 percentile of average MLB service time these days.

Heck, I'd bat Madison Bumgarner of the SF Giants fifth or sixth now !!

I wonder how long ago he would have been out of the game had his career not started here playing for Scioscia.

in 2013 Zack Greinke had more offensive WAR (as a batter) than Josh Hamilton

Mathis was never the problem. Him getting more days than Napoli was. And that wasn't his fault
