    If he can be average, with the double-plus defense he’s shown this year, I think he’s very useful for a few more years. Anything above average with the bat is gravy, though I’m still holding a dimming candle that he can make it happen.

    That whole mess was just a good advertisement for what an awesome dude Freddie is. Shouldn’t be considered any more or any less than that.

    Still don’t think Soto is anywhere near as good of a hitter as he’s shown.

    Hanging a “Magic Number” sign to begin the season is an excellent way to jinx the whole season haha.

    I agree he is a net positive from a value standpoint.

    But I think if we added Moose we'd be better off as a whole putting camargo at short rather than benching camargo

    Its a weird thing. He's had reverse splits throughout the minors.

    Still fine with Biddle batting. Can't use your top guns everyday and it would've been preferable for Winkler to not be up.

    That reverse splits thing though, man is it weird.
    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.

    Its not as bad as the small sample major league numbers make it seem. But it is a thing.

    If I’ve learned anything in this 1 game, it’s that the Braves have solved the leadoff issue!!!
