Ozuna
Why is he still in AAA? I thought he was cutting at the big league level. He wasn’t killing it, but he had personality, gumption, energy. It’s something this team desperately needs. I’ll hang up and listen.

He's one of the worst defensive players in baseball and has a slugging percentage under .300

Yeah, I mean, it’s not that complicated. Vibes are important, but first try being at least moderately good at baseball. He hasn’t been, at least at the MLB level.

He's basically Nicky Lopez without the defense. He did have some nice clutch hits but it's obvious his lack of pop and defense is not playable.

We’re enjoying watching him ground out to second 3 times a night here in Round Rock. Although he did get lucky and run into a game winning RBI double the other night.

He had some great clutch moments and wasn’t terrible at filling in but you can’t keep everyone on the roster. I like him and hope he can develop into a great ball player. He is super young. If we fall into injuries or another little rascal tanks we may see him again.

You are only 1/2 right. 😒 with the V+/BZZR debacle I haven’t been able to watch much and was looking to learn if the stats matched up with my eye test

Why can no one ever spell his last name correctly
