    Puig has been average at best all season. I don't understand the excitement.

    .256/.324/.440 .330 wOBA 112 wRC+ is a bit better than average. 120 wRC+ in August too. Question would be game readiness.

    I'll take him on the roster vs. a RHP Mets team over a Ruggiano/SVS.

    With our luck, I just can't trust this. Especially with a hammy.

    I'm still wondering what happened to Puig's power. He used to be a long ball threat, but it just wasn't there this year.

    He was shockingly on pace to eclipse last seasons home run total as over a full season his numbers come out to 20+ home runs. The real problem was that he just came into camp out of sync this year, he needs to refine his swing and the hits will return. he needs to also get quicker through the zone as he is terrible against anything really hard. He gets too long and misses that hard stuff. Rushing a guy back from a hamstring injury is always dangerous, hopefully he truly is 100% as this is a better team with him in RF.

    Would you say he's a bad matchup for the flame throwing RH Mets pitchers?

    Yes, if he is still showing some of the problems that plagued him earlier in the season in regards to the hard stuff. I'm really torn on this, ask me again in 10 minutes and I'll probably change my mind. Carl doesn't really do anything to electrify the team and his D is somewhat of a liability, even moreso if Kike is now the CF'er. Puig comes back and plays with his hair on fire like we saw him do before he got hurt again, then watch the team get fired up and rally around him. We are really struggling to find contributors in the middle of the order with Gonzo, Turner and Grandal all being hurt. If Puig is good Puig, this team can ride that and win this series, but if he is bad Puig, they are in trouble. I'm pretty sure that is a non-answer, but this is really a hard one to call without seeing him play in SD which he absolutely needs to do.

    We'd probably need more data but yeah, it's probably a bad matchup for him. But against any LOOGY or if Matz pitches, he's one of the top guys you want out there and if he really does have healthy legs, you want his defense out there late in games.

    19 HR in 2013 in a short season
    16 HR last year.
    11 this year.

    You conveniently skipped his ISO number in 2013 which was .215 which is where a power hitter should be

    So again, what's happening to his power stats?

    If we're talking strictly at the plate..what Puig really lost this year was the kind of effectiveness that made him a prime choice for the top of the order against both righties and lefties. His pop was OK, particularly against lefties. But his OPS against righties is worse than Crawford's.

    I think what you meant was " it just hasn't been there since his rookie campaign ".

    Not " it just wasn't there this year ". He leveled off in 2014. Not much difference, if any at all, between 2014 and 2015.

    What we've seen is a guy who looked like he might have had 30HR potential level off into a 20HR potential guy.

    His drop off this year was vastly more pronounced. He was in single digits in the all star break and hit a few more dingers before going on the DL. This is not a trend that's encouraging if you still think or want, or more importantly, need the power threat going into the post season.
