Struggling Human Bowling Ball Jimmy Paredes is going to have to run into infielders at Oklahoma City, as he has been optioned north to make room for equally-struggling though now-rehabilitated Justin Maxwell, who presumably does not run into infielders.
Paredes - in 31 games (92PAs) "hit" .190/.242/.274 for a .516 OPS which is amazingly consistent with his 24 game (82PAs) stint in Houston in 2012, in which he hit .189/.244/.230.
Maxwell, in 11 rehab games between Corpus and OKC, hit .128/.182/.205 with 11K:3BB in 44 PAs. Small sample size blah blah blah.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
