Joc Pederson

[RWeeksFan23]

With the Giants falling further out of the playoff picture, they are said to be shopping guys like Carlos Rodon and Joc Pederson.

I think Pederson could be a good option for us who wouldn't cost much as he's a rental. Good pop in his bat, can play all three OF positions.

Could be a pretty good platoon CF with Tyrone Taylor, especially if he would start when we're not starting a flyball SP.

I think he'd normally fit the team well as a RHP platoon bat, but I wouldn't mess with a guy on the concussion IL. Just too risky and unpredictable.

Joc has been a big producer in big games so if he is healthy and the cost is low I would be all for getting him.

He's an all-or-nothing platoon hitter prone to massive slumps. There is a reason a well-run organization like the Dodgers wasn't too keen on keeping him. 

[Robocaller]

I think he'd make the team better, but not that much since he's not a good CF and he's only a platoon bat. He has a higher OPS+ than anyone on the Brewers.

Peterson was placed on the 7 day Concussion IL on 7/29/22...

While players on the Injured List CAN be traded, his being on the concussion list does come with some additional risk..

Were they a well run organization when they acquired him? 

He's a good player, and the Dodgers would have kept him off they didn't have so many other OF options already under contract. He'd be a good option for the Brewers.

LOL, what does when the Dodgers acquired him have anything to do with this? He was drafted by the Dodgers out of high school 12 years ago. 

And no, if he was one of the Dodgers top 3 OF options, they could have easily kept him. They chose not to. Perhaps they should have looked to offload Bellinger on someone instead, but Pederson is what he is at this point ... a platoon bat prone to massive slumps.

I like Pederson, but the Brewers big weakness is facing off against LHP, and Pederson doesn't help them there. Not against looking at the price tag, but he wouldn't be my first choice.

Do the Brewers have 26 players, or better yet 5 outfielders better than Joc Pederson? I would say the answer is no. 

The real  issue, besides his concussion, is that the Giants are not a rebuilding 90 loss club. They have a positive run differential of 31; according to their Pythagorean they should actually be 54-48.

Unless they can get young major league ready talent that can potentially help them next year, they may likely roll the bones with the current squad and maybe they can get hot/lucky and snag the 3rd wild card.

Sure, Joc Pederson has baseball value, and for all I know, he's a decent guy. But I irrationally dislike him and don't want him on my favorite team.

Please give me stats that show he is more prone to slumps than any other player.

Agreed.  He’s around my yadier Molina level of hate but has had borderline success in his career.  Plus, who aside from sugar ray still bleaches and tips their hair? This isn’t 2000 bro

[Playing Catch]

If I watch this one more time, I may end up liking the guy, but it clearly demonstrates why I hate the guy...

And for goodness sakes... dude's name is "Joc". And just look at him in that video.
