    Ozzie And Dansby

    Have they finally figured out the issues that plagued them at the plate? I'd like to see some advanced data on their early results. Obviously small sample applies, but if they really have turned in to the hitters that we want them to be, we are going to have one of the best offenses in baseball.

    I’d say a lot of it is gonna depend on Dansbys wrist. He’s hitting to the right side with power and showing why he was the #1 pick. If his wrist stays healthy then this is probably the real Dansby.

    Was very concerned when he rolled said wrist last night...

    I think everyone was. Dude looks REALLY good right now. He's hitting it all over the field and showing authority in his swing. Of course, the way his injury was handled last year gives us all a little worry, but hey, he could be completely serious about it being fine.

    It's worth mentioning that Ozzie never had problems vs LHP and Lester is a LHP, although the start has been good vs RHP too. It was just a frigid, frigid half vs RHP. So frigid a change was needed, and it happened.

    They both lowered their hands (Ozzie did just lefty though) and we need a bigger sample size than 5 games to see how that looks before determining everything. Positive start however there.
    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.

    The most encouraging thing I've seen is Ozzie being willing to take some walks. If that continues, I'm really happy.

    Yeah that would be huge. Not only would it help his OBP, but him being more selective will allow him to really start to hammer mistakes that pitchers make. I'm very encouraged by his early progress. And Dansby's hot start coupled with his spring is an immense development for us. If that wrist can stay healthy and he really has made the necessary adjustments to hit well, our offense is gonna be insane.

    Dansby has been more selective at the plate too. Seen a few ABs where he laid off good sliders biting down. Last night Lester threw one biting down and in that he took for a walk.

    If Ozzie gets anywhere close to his hot first few months of last year, with new plate discipline and less pop ups...

    Albies has a 1.000 BABIP as a RHH. If he keeps that up I think he’ll be ok

    Bumped because my God have these two been good so far. Dansby is legitimately looking like an All Star.

    Like both of them a lot, especially Albies. This is one of my favorite recent infields with Donaldson, Swanson, Albies, and Freeman.

    Josh has been hitting ropes.

    When they go airborne, in the stands, and it will not be cheap either.

    I hope Scheff can give the exit velocity on his hits.

    What are we looking at with Dansby for an extension? He has three arby years left and is in his age 25 season. What would it take to buy out 2-3 years of FA at this point in time?

    Could we still get a valuation of 2 WAR per season and therefore the FA years are around 15M depending on market rates currently?
    5 year 54 million with a 1 year option of 15M work?
