How about takes the "role"? I love this site, but it could really use an editor. Takes the roll?

Or walks... Or hitting with runners on... Or with 2 outs... Or with runners in scoring position... Jerry might think he's always in the middle of rallies, but if you actually go back and look at his games, well, he hasn't been.

Jerry might think he’s always in the middle of rallies, but if you actually go back and look at his games, well, he hasn’t been.

That's a waste of the talent of both Jose and David. And I’ll add that if he does play, he should absolutely not be hitting 2nd. That’s a waste of the talent of both Jose and David.

He's a defensive replacement who doesn't get on base, doesn't score frequently (less frequently than Castillo), doesn't hit with runners on or with 2 outs. Thank you!

The guy makes an out nearly 70% of the time when he comes to the plate. He has no business on an MLB roster. And for a guy who is supposedly "in the middle of everything" his run and RBI totals are extremely low.

Players can be important contributors, even if they're not hitting extra bases every time up. Jerry likes him because, as he says, Argenis seems so often to be in the middle of things. Making strong defensive plays, getting a rally going -- even if, heaven forbid, it's with a single -- keeping a rally going, whatever. I swear to god, fantasy is ruining baseball.

That's terrible. He plays excellent defense, but his offense is atrocious. Fortunately everyone else has been hitting so it hasn't made a difference. Argenis has a .615 OPS. That’s terrible.
