    As long as it's temporary, just about anybody is a better option than Stubbs' right now, he's had plenty of time to turn it around. It's what they need to do the rest of the season that's the problem I suppose...find somebody.

    Re: Drew Stubbs

    I know most of the posters in this thread won't think this matters, but during this 0-28 streak, Stubbs BB/K rate is actually better than his career's .44 to .32.

    Right now, Justin Upton is in a 2-25 streak, and Corey Hart recently had a 1-24 streak. I am sure I could find over a dozen examples of good hitters who have been in similar bad luck streaks as Stubbs.

    A) Stubbs is not a good hitter. Not even close.
    B) Do you really think luck is the reason Stubbs is slumping?

    But he has a .638 OPS.

    I keep hoping he'll work himself back into 2010 form-but I think it's time to send him to AAA. He's in a really bad stretch- I hope he can fix things in the minors. If he shows some major improvement, call him back up in September.

    It was .707 before the slump.

    His BABIP is at .272. His career BABIP is .325. Everything points to Stubbs being around a .715 OPS guy. I expect him to be that going forward.

    He hasn't been that in a year and a half.

    Stubbs was in the high .680s range last year in almost 700 plate appearances.

    .717 is a dream. And not that great a dream BTW.

    I don't think .717 is a "dream." He's done it before. If we didn't overuse him, he could be a very useful player. But letting him bat 700 times a year and hitting him at the top of the order just sets him up to fail.

    He was at .707 a week ago, and hit .773 two years ago. Adjust his BABIP just to league average, and he's fine. Adjust it to his career average, and he's even better.

    He looked terrible in LA, so I understand the reaction, but even in San Fran and before, he looked better in term of pitch recognition than he ever has.

    Yes, he has been below his career norms for a little over the past year. Even then, it's not so much of a decline that he's unworthy of a roster spot or anything. We're talking about a temporary under-performance with some of the reason for it being tied to luck. It happens to pretty much every Major Leaguer at some point. I'd love to hear your alternative solutions.

    Stubbs is not a good hitter, and probably never will be. However, even with below average hitting skills, he has the overall talent to be a productive player in CF.
