Gohara's velocity seems to be back. Very good news.

It will drop again as well. Pitchers are humans and sometimes their body feels good and sometimes it doesn't. During those times when you don't have your A game you have to rely on control and secondary offerings.

I'm real encouraged he has done well even when he was sitting 92-94.

Before this game Albies was pacing at a 5.1 WAR. Incredible.

Albies such a beast

Haven't had a young player this valuable since Heyward.

Gotta love that defensive value!

Honestly,I would be fine eating a ton a Kemp’s contract and giving Lane a chance next year. Lane, Ender and Acuna wouldn’t give a ton of power, but then again...neither does Kemp except the 20% of the time his hammy feels decent. Would be a great defensive outfield and major speed on the base path.

No question defensive players like Heyward impact the game when they are in the field. I've never said otherwise.

Interesting thought experiment: what's the return if we trade Acuna and Albies this off-season. We'd be selling high on both.

I'm not getting too excited about Albies. I fully expect the FO to go full retard and trade him away for an "ace" in hopes that they win and keep their jobs beyond 2018.

Lane Adams would run into 15-20 Homers in a full time roll. The ball is juiced and we need to change our expectations for players until this gets corrected.

I'm not sure there is a player I would trade Albies for right now.

Kemp can't even break an OPS over 800 in the juiced ball era

You were right. Not really sure what else I can say.

Good. Glad you can see the value of defense.

They'd also be potentially setting a match that burns suntrust and the battery down

He's just a double hamstring replacement from an .850 ops.

Gohara speaks four languages. Dayum.

I say just get Kemp and Nick off the books, let lane play and then you can get whoever down the road if it doesn’t work out. Talk about a Fast team.
