If Gardner can't make it back, we need to call Dickerson up.

Re: 2012 General Yankee Comments Thread
You mean besides posting 100 point higher career OBP?
Wise is a career 60 OPS+ hitter over 900 PAs in parts of 10 seasons. He's repeatedly shown he's a very, very bad offensive baseball player.
Dickerson is nothing special but he offers the upside of a league average bat, especially against RHP while providing league average or better defense at all 3 OF spots.
Wise is nothing more than a late inning defensive replacement.Baseball is life;
the rest is just details.

Re: 2012 General Yankee Comments Thread
It was years ago and SSS, but he hit very well in his first two partial seasons. I've said before that he's a bit frustrating for me because to my unprofessional eye his swing looks like it should produce more offense than it does. I think he has more ability than Wise, who is a proven lost cause at the plate. Said another way, it wouldn't surprise me to get league average offense/defense/baserunning out of Dickerson, but I'd be shocked to get anything of value out of Wise's bat. He's also producing (albeit at AAA) right now whereas Wise looks terrible even by his own pedestrian standards, so perhaps Dickerson could give us a little run of acceptable production.

Re: 2012 General Yankee Comments Thread
I would not heistate to kick Dickerson to the curb for a better option but that doesn't change my opinion that Dickerson >> Wise right now.
Why not DFA Wise now, add Dickerson and look to improve the position by trade?
So in 582 PAs Dickerson has a .266/.351/.399 slash line (98 OPS+) while in 904 PAs Wise owns a .217/.253/.367 slash line for a 60 OPS+
I agree than Dickerson isn't an "exciting" option. I just think Wise is a putrid option.Baseball is life;

Re: 2012 General Yankee Comments Thread
Agreed, and I'm sure he would have if the reports weren't positive only to be followed up by a few setbacks.
I certainly don't get excited either, but Wise is proven dead weight and it seems like they're keeping him here for fear of losing him. Even if it's marginal, I'm confident Dickerson can outproduce Wise until that better solution you're referring to can be found.
