Freddie has been odd this year. He's either really hot or really cold. No in between. Right now he's hot.
Hope that doesn't continue. Players get hated on for being streaky around here.

I really wanna get excited about mallex, but I keep thinking back to jace's strong first half last year essentially nothing since so I'm tempering expectations

I think Myers would be a smart get for Atlanta: https://twitter.com/MaxWildstein/status/743496957679833088
Mallex really needs to play every day. He's still k-ing a bit too much, but with his minor league numbers around 18%, I thought it was possible he'd be up around 28-30%. the fact he's at 22.5% is actually pretty encouraging to me, and his Ks have gone down each month. Plus, as noted, he's stealing bases with more ease now.

He's looked pretty bad against lefties... but we oughtta let him work through it this year
I don't care to look up his minor league or this seasons steal numbers. In the minors what was his steal percentage and how does it compare to what he is now?

231 out of 290 in the minors for 79.6%
So far in MLB he's 13 out of 20 for 65%. He has the ability. I'd say some of if may be nerves but he's also been called out a couple of times where he was actually safe too.
When the Phillies were rolling, they were an incredibly successful team when stealing bases (among many other things). Jimmy Rollins was something else, you could not catch that guy. I forget who their base coaches were, but they were doing something right. I'm pretty sure Utley, Werth, and Victorino were all great base-stealers along with J-Roll. They were doing something very right.
