    I said it long ago. It’s uncanny and still true today. He’s one of my favorite Brave prospects of all times. Julio was too.

    Given that he changed his approach from strong slap hitter that occasionally pops a HR I'm not seeing the .300+ hitter outside of peak years, but I could be proven wrong, my guess is still things are going to balance out, but his balancing out won't be Inciarte like in that he goes LONG stretches without a long ball, it'll be his rebound from the left side against RHP continues, he hits more singles, starts walking more, and ends up at about .280/.330/.450, with his right side being absolutely killer and left side being average to slightly above, passable enough to not bring things down for him.

    Or I could see around .300/.350/.480 as a high side.

    Considering in most cases, patience can be learned with time, it's very possible his normal season might be around an .800 OPS.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    So, uh, Ozzie should probably stop hitting so many fly balls.

    He's going to have a sub 300 OBP soon and he's our leadoff hitter

    Does anyone have any insight into what's causing the struggle? I mean that in terms of, his K rate is still decent, and his Babip has plummeted. Is he not making hard contact?

    Basically the thing Enscheff was shouting from the rooftops as Ozzie was on a HR surge turned out to be correct.

    I was told by Gov that I was wrong about Albies’ power. He bumped my thread on Albies FB rate just to try to call me out for being wrong. The laws of HR/FB rate and BABIP are absolute, no matter how much ignorant blabber Gov and the rest of the derptards spew out.

    Then he got mad and made up a fake quote by me to put in his sig lol.

    Hard contact is actually (in SSS) at 50% now in June. The Gods just decided it's time for him to stink up a storm.
