Kruk was a notch above both Lind and Seth Smith against RHP (OPS's of .899, .853, .835...and Kruk had a .416 OBP vR) but he was THREE notches ahead of them vs LHP. (.722, 590, .596). V-bach is gunning a .916 vL in AAA this year.
If that carries over to a .700+ MLB vL OPS...then he's a real thing. Lind and Smith have always had value but it is limited by their platoon needs. Vogelbach, like Kruk, may be a notch above.
Or not....
I lke Monty a lot. But the promise/potential/ceiling/hint (take your pick) of a 162 game DH/1B is dang sexy.
And that may be the 1st time that our new Round Mound of Pound (I like it!!) is called sexy.
