Albies And Acuna

[CyYoung31]

Graffanino made the first error in new yankee stadium.

Didn't realize he was still around in 2009.

Lol, Albies hasn't looked even remotely overmatched. Dude has hit some lasers that were caught.

If Swanson had slow at speed, he'd have no problem hitting the slider.

He also had issues with the fastball up in the zone

The main question is..... how did Graffanino's hair compare to Swanson's hair?

vastly superior...and he didn't even have to work at it as much

I thought his LHH swing looked a little slow in his second game up. He wasn't able to touch average-ish heat that was right there. It was better though in the one PA I saw after that game, even though he struck out, he gave me hope that if given the chance he could smack a high heater.

Even if it hasn't had major results...yet his RHH swing looks much better.

He's also struck out on a couple questionable calls. I actually find it encouraging he took those pitches. The umps do learn which players have a good eye. As a young player though, he's got to adhere to the etiquette of body language when an ump rings him up.

I think this is a pretty good observation. You want emotion and body language? wait until you see Albies and Acuna together if you haven't already. That being said, GeorgiaGirl, I think on the plate appearances you describe in his LH swing was a result of guessing, not slow. His bat gets to the zone better than some of the guys we have already. He's another guy like Acuna in that a ball can get deep in the zone on them and they are so quick barrel wise that it plays to their strengths.

Ozzie has really quick hands.

Tony G would probably hit 20 bombs at ST. He hit more warning track flyballs than any Brave I can remember, including Bret Boone.
