Eric Yu

JR RITCHIE PAINTED 97 MPH + DRAKE BALDWIN 100% ABS CHALLENGE = 🥰 #BravesCountry

@BeaneaterB Since Ha-Seong Kim's salary is so big, I don't think DFA or release will happen right away. But if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity he's given, his position will be diminished.

@Eric35_Yu They’re not going to DFA a guy that there paying $20M.

Braves SS Ha Seong-Kim may not have much time left...😔 4 AB 0 H 2 K 0 HARDHIT 0 xBH .105 AVG .314 OPS -2 wRC+ -4 OAA -0.6 fWAR With 38 AB | .148 BABIP, there is not enough sample and bad luck to criticize him. If can't bounce back even after 100+ AB, DFA HIM. #BravesCountry

@IMHIMTHEBEST Yes, all Korean fans are praying the same!! 😂

@Eric35_Yu He’s a liability at the plate and in the field right now. Hope he gets out of this slump soon.

@scottcourville1 Hope he finds a solution as soon as possible 💪

@Eric35_Yu Garbage

@MichaelVG19 Kim earns aav 20m, so there will be no DFA or Release right away. But if he doesn't rebound, I think his position in the team will decrease further 😢

@Eric35_Yu Hold on, are you serious? What about his $20 M contract? Are we supposed to eat that upfront ? How would it work?

@roadrunners97 If he can just regain his defensive skills—which used to be his strength—he’ll be a valuable backup infielder.

@Eric35_Yu Even his defense scares me.

@Scott97642543 I’m Korean, but even if Mateo gets a chance to play shortstop, I wouldn’t object. 😬

@Eric35_Yu You don't understand how business works ....... they're paying him 20 million ...... they'll keep running him out hoping he figures it out!

@Pre_Malone I agree. But if he can't bounce back, he'll have to give up his spot as a everyday starting lineup...

@Eric35_Yu you could put a gun to AA head and he isnt going to dfa him. worst case he swaps roles with Mateo/Farmer.

@SeDunlap_ The best-case scenario for our team would be for him to bounce back. 🙏

@Eric35_Yu His swing is atrocious.

@T74057817 Yes, I can be patient with Kim's slump at the plate, but his defense can't afford to go through a slump. 🙏

@Eric35_Yu .148 BABIP is so unlucky

@ChoppinBravos They'll probably use Dubon as the everyday shortstop. While he truly shines as a super utility guy, he proved his worth by posting an +3 OAA at shortstop 😌

@Eric35_Yu He has only had 38AB and THEY cut his rehab in half after he didn’t have a regular offseason, spring training or start to this season. Hes got plenty of time left and they aren’t DFA’ing him. Who is taking his place what other SS in this system is ready to start?

@TheBryanBrewton I think His batting can wait, but if his defense—which used to be his strength—continues to be shaky, he shouldn’t be our everyday shortstop...😑

@Eric35_Yu They ain’t cutting a guy that they are paying $20 mil. They BARLEY cut bummer and he was only making $9 lol

@JeffB79116057 I'm really happy to see Grissom settling in with the Angels. ☺️

@Eric35_Yu Trade him for Grissom haha

@FigureitoutMate Kim's biggest strength used to be his defense (Gold Glove), but even that is gone now. his biggest strengths at the plate was his K%, which is at a career-high this year. bat speed is career-high, but his swing length is the longest it's ever been, causing his timing late.

@Eric35_Yu I’m with you bro after 100 ABs I’ve seen enough. Tampa DFA’d this bum for a reason the Braves were just desperate enough to kick the tires

@99braves834 It’s a good thing it’s a one-year contract. If Kim had stayed healthy during the offseason, he might have become a shortstop with a 3-4 WAR... 😭

@Eric35_Yu It's not been good ! This is why I hate big contracts
