Power is his carrying tool, but his contact isn't enough to get the power to show up on the field. He was a boom/bust pick out of Ohio St. Not a huge prospect by any means.
yea too many people are assuming because they are in our top 10 prospects that means they are real prospects. Maybe the talking heads who say our farm sucks aren't so stupid afterall?

Spencer is a good dude. If he gets a ring this year, by us or them, he will deserve it. Class act.

Varsho isn't a 4 hole hitter. Ever. And he should never be put there. The fact that Hoe does so means either he's an idiot or thinks he must do it (or was flat told to).

I hate to say it but I hope the Varsho trade goes like Sanchez did last year. This needs to be a bust and maybe Crane will understand how owners playing GM is just not a winning strategy.

Yep. Here is how our current lineup shakes out vs RHP. Trammell should bat 4th, if we insist on the RLRL thing.

If Correa really comes back I think Yordan needs to play LF for any postseason games that may come. Issac and Carlos both need to be in there.

Can't wait to hear Dana compare it to a late season trade acquisition.

Am I the only one thinking this could be a really bad idea? We might not see him until this time next year...

Don't know if any of y'all have heard, but Skubal is starting for LA tonight. I mean they've only been talking non-stop about it for 3 days 24/7 on MLB Network.

You are optimistic. The only thing we see any of them in next year is an HEB commercial.

shades of Brantley in 2023

and it turned out that MB did not get enough time to regain his form

he needed more than 54 at-bats before the playoffs started

Carlos will have the same issue

Out of it but a lot of pitches. The offense could do him a favor and take their time in B1.

Wesneski takes a 106 EV grounder from Sanchez, rolls out to Paredes who makes the play.

Sounds like it got mostly glove.

Speaking of catching a break, scheduling change on the matinee tomorrow. Cease got moved back to Thursday and instead HB is matched up with Jameson Taillon.
