The kid couldn't track a ball. He wouldn't hit a wall. Never took charge. Feet were terrible. What cutoff man? Looked at the runner before throwing.....and throwing offline.......bouncing at least twice..........with less power than Lil Penny can throw. Rasmus has played centerfield his whole freaking life. He's not a guy they just stuck out there and said, "He should be fine. Jimmy did it. How hard could it be?" His whole life, one position.......figure out how to play the Goddamned position!!
5 tools? Not a chance. We never saw them.
Here are his stats against the other CF in the NL.....
Hit for average = .244 (CF leader Matt Kemp is batting .310) = that is shit.
Hit for power = 11 home runs (Kemp has 24) = bush league.
Baserunning skills = 5 steals (there are 13 CF with 11 or more steals) = fucking run!
Throwing ability = 0 double plays, only 4 assists, Big Money says it's awful = told ya.
Fielding ability = 6th in fielding %, 8th in range, 4th in zone rating = whatever those stats say it only solidifies the fact that he's a piece of garbage out in the outfield.
The trade is crap only for the fact that it doesn't give the Redbirds anything exciting. That just shows how little Rasmus meant to the organization/to the baseball world. We'll take an ex-Cub who we hated, some Commy bastard whose name is as hard to say as it is spell (won't spell it for you just even if you are my friend), a washed up reliever and one "name" pitcher who might actually have a shot at keeping a lead that the offense has given. Woohoo! No more retards in the outfield. I'll take it.
