1975 Montreal Expos Finals Stats
The strength of the team and all will be back next season and have a chance in the rotation.
Robby Jones and Charlie Rancourt will be free agents. Not likely that we will reach a deal with Rancourt as he is looking for northward of $7.0 per season. The pen will have to be much better next season.
The big question is will we be able to resign Nate Samms. The popular Expos in looking for just under $9.0 M for 4 years at age 34.
A couple of young and up in comers in Sanchez and Delgado with Nichols not far behind. Does that spell the end of Fernando Martinez's tenure in an Expos uniform. Matt Terry was a rental. So who will play 1B next year.
The Expos need to get younger and will as Josh Dalms in free agent rental and the Expos may have to make a decision on Woodbury as his offense declined sharply. |

May 11th, 1976 Montreal Expos Stats and Musings
The Expos are certainly struggling in all areas of the game but the biggest surprise would be the starting pitching ERA has jumped by about a run and a half. The Expos starters are basically the same guys as last year so I suspect it should improve.
As mentioned earlier, the starters have not been as good so far this year. SP Eddie Hernanez had a 1.77 ERA last year, and is 5.32 so far this year. His Whip is actually not to bad compared to 0.89 last year. SP Eric Marks had a 3.71 ERA last year, but his Whip was 1.24 and his walks per 9 is almost doubled. SP Jamari Taft had a 3.20 ERA last year with a 1.25 Whip. SP Javier Trevino had a 2.33 ERA last year with a 1.02 Whip. His ERA is over doubled. As well his career K/9 is 5.6. SP Scott Turner had a 2.97 ERA last year with a 1.20 Whip. So all 5 starters should be better in the next 25 games.
RHP Aiden Beasley has been very effective so far, he has a career Whip of 1.15 and 10.9 K/9. LHP Jesse Deck is having a slow start, his career ERA is 3.61 and his whip has been 1.17. Rookie RHP Eddie Gonzalez has been OK in his 9 appearances, he has a pretty good ERA despite the Whip. Veteran LHP Robbie Jones is having a nice season so far. He had a career best 2.30 ERA in 1973 for Montreal. RHP Chris Muckenfuss has yet to give up an earned run this year and last, although last year he only pitched 0.2 innings. LHP Chris Wiebe has struggled so far this year and is way off his 3.65 career ERA and 1.20 Whip, he was injured in his last appearance so he will either go on the IR or get demoted. CL RHP Mark Holmgren had only had 3 save opportunities and has been used in mop up situations just to get some work.
C Nate Samms is hitting for average, but has yet to hit a HR. The lowest HR total he has ever had was 9 in 1972 in 90 games. He also hit .219 that year. C Dave Capellan has only been called on for 25 plate appearances and 5 starts. He is hitting slightly better then last years .175 and .470 OPS.
The Expos may have to shake things up a little here. 1B Cory Carlson has only started 5 games and has 27 plate appearances. In his last year of his contract he would like to see that field a little more. 1B Rookie Darren Maher is struggling mightly, maybe some AAA at bats will regain his confidence as the Expos demote him to Seattle. 2B Chris Nichols has been OK, he got a few at bats last year as well and is hitting .264 in 21 career MLB games. 3B Gene Watkins bat has been a little quiet considering he has a career .275 batting average and a .715 OPS. SS Eric Forristall will get a chance to bump the slump in AAA. A career .232 hitter with .667 OPS is certainly struggling. SS David Sanchez is having a nice season at the plate. After hitting .241 his last year with a .622 OPS, he has improved. The Expos will promote 26 year old Alberto Rodriquez, he is hitting .300 with 1 HR and 8 RBIs in 12 AAA games. The Expos will promote 21 year old Ricardo Duran, he is hitting .313 with 0 HRs and 6 RBIs in 11 AAA games.
The Expos need to get more offense out of this crew over the next 25 games. CF Danny Plantz has struggled at the plate, for his career he is only a .197 hitter but the expectations is that he will get better. He certainly burns up the base paths being on pace for 52 this year. LF Raul Rodriquez is not hitting the ball like last year, but he certainly is still on of the teams better hitters this year. LF Joe Woodbury, the veteran has never really hit for average (.235 career) but this year he is contributing offensively compared to his .188 average and .584 OPS from last year. Rookie CF Bobby King has started at 4 positions this year, 2B, 3B, LF and RF. He has also hit pretty well. RF Jesse Irons has been a disappointment this year, he was an MLB All Star last year but had a tough second half and and terrible 1st quarter to this season. He will work on his game in AAA as he is demoted. The Expos will promote 29 year old Ricardo Gonzalez, he is hitting .275 with 4 HRs and 13 RBIs in 20 AAA games. |
