GDT 6/12/19: The Second Half Begins

He has the tools to be plus plus at SS, elite speed, 40 HR power potential, and still only 20.

You’re probably right that I’m off base here. I’m just a sucker for huge athletic SS that can hit.

he has the potential to be an elite player, no doubt about that

Whoever helped Swanson with that slider off the plate needs to work with Riley. If it's Swanson's GF, well, swanson needs to share for the good of the team
 
Riley just swing at a ball 3’ off the plate and missed it by 4’. He didn’t even appear to recognize and attempt to adjust mid swing.

Needless to say it’s pretty obvious Riley has issues identifying pitches.
 
I wonder if we might match up with the Padres for one of their good corner outfielders. Renfroe and Reyes generally aren't my type of player having suspect OBP but having that power along with Riley is intriguing. Renfroe could bridge the gap to Pache/Waters since we cant count on them to be stars from day 1.
