His arb years will be thru the roof.
You're really reaching here, to prove to be right. How many hitters, square up 95 that isnt center cut, not very many. Good hitters take advantage of the mistakes. I love Ender but i dont see you cant play Riley close to everyday going forward.Quote:

I'd be curious to see some work on whether the best hitters fare better with velocity than MLB as a whole (and whether it's in line with their excellence versus other pitching), but I'm not sure it really is a knock.
I think the proper downer move right now is to talk about small sample size and second time through the league with Riley.
and within that small sample we findQuote:

Did not realize the K rate had crept up that high. It's about what one might have predicted for MLB based on his MiLB track record. I'm not sure I'm a believer. I suspect the power is legit, but not THIS legit.
Riley's gonna be a stud. All you have been predicted he would fail can keep holding on to hope... you're wrong though
Albies is down to 670 as left handed vs. 900 as a righty. Almost identical to last-year. Not sure what more advanced stats say, but at what point do we consider experimenting with some righty on righty? He really can't be much worse than he is left-handed so only downside is giving up potential that he improves as a lefty.
Not anytime in the near future as he's finally trying something else again. If it were to happen at all before an offseason, it won't be for at least close to two months (whenever the all star break is). As the big adjustment with Acuna was then.Quote:

I see he's trying and I am pleased.Quote:
