Joe Pisapia strongly endorsed trading for Marcus Semien, pointing out Semien's consistent track record over recent years despite his current slump. Although he is hitting just .125 with high strikeout numbers early, Pisapia highlighted historical patterns, noting Semien is a notorious slow starter before heating up significantly. Welsh backed this by mentioning Semien's extremely low current BABIP (.150 vs usual .282+) and highest barrel rate in four seasons, suggesting inevitable positive regression. Both emphasized Semien's multi-category potential and secure lineup spot, making him an ideal buy low candidate if current managers panic sell.
