I know its spring training and they are "meaningless" games but damn he tore the cover off this ball.

Still kicking myself for not buying his cards in the offseason. They're white hot right now.

Still kicking myself for not loading up on release when his base were going for less than 20$ and blues at 60$

I read an article that used historical prospect statistics which show Baez is as close to 100% certain to be a bust in the Majors as a player can possibly get.

Of course this info isn't infallible and he could rake in the Majors. Who knows. It's interesting none-the-less.

This one last night was a monster. 450 feet dead center

Its great that's he's hitting HRs but they all seem to be on fastballs over the plate and belt high. For every home run he's swinging at a lot of really bad pitches. Needs AAA to work on pitch recognition and defense but damn is he fun to watch. Cubs haven't had someone that you had to stop what you're doing to watch them bat in a very long time!

I'm wondering if this kid would be better off at a different position so he can focus more on pitch selection and such. His OPS and power is phenomenal, but his defense at SS and his OBP stink to high heaven.

He has been moved to 2B and my guess is he'll stay there

Also asking the marineers if they can have Franklin. maybe a 3 team deal?

Tigers get barney and Scheirholtz and give up who ever, and then deal Barney to Seattle for Franklin and who ever they can put in for Franklin

Thanks for the deal for 7 base and 7 refractors I bought from you over a year and a half ago for a really great price!
