I think Nick Plummer would be an awesome sign for the Tigers. Former 1st rounder that struggled, came back this year with some adjustments and was much better. I believe in the changes. This HR off Max Meyer. pic.twitter.com/K8MSlIr9Fp
Billy Eppler’s first major league signing with the Mets is outfielder Nick Plummer.

Plummer was given a major league deal by the Mets earlier today.
His .415 OBP ranked 18th among all full season minor leaguers in 2021.
Seems a little puzzling. He has good speed and some power but 541 minor league Ks to 324 hits - wow. .722 lifetime OPS.
ReplyDeleteNick who?
ReplyDeleteSaw his video batting and I personally like Vientos, Mauricio, Baty, and Lee better.
I thought Christopher Plummer was really good in "The Sound of Music". Don't know much about Bill Plummer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like he became less of a prospect and more of a suspect. Needless to say this does not give me a warm tingly feeling.

I agree Anon - I also put Carlos Rincon and Jake Mangum ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteSeems a lesser version of Khalil Lee, but we’ll see. Welcome.

ReplyDeleteVery good point 69. Bound to eventually hit one of those.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess we need more strikeouts right?
