Is Mitch Garver Wasting Away?
I find myself completely bemused by modern analytics but the guy hit 31 homers in 311 ABs in 2019 (he hit .273 but struck out a lot) and this year managed to hit 13 in 207 ABs. Seems like a modern power hitter who could potentially hit 50+ HRs with a ton of strikeouts as a DH but is instead being used behind the plate. I always feel bad for these types but the ivy school dorks who never stepped on a diamond claim they're WAR and ambiguous stats don't measure up. I'm not a Twins fan but does anyone know what the story on this guy is?
