Soto being called up by Nats

[SJ24]

Started in A ball this year and has 31 AB in AA.

WOW.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Yet we apparently call people up too quickly.

It’s in response to the Howie Kendrick injury, I’d guess. That and onset desperation

 

[nsacpi]

We are inducing panic and desperation in the competition.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Desperate times in the Capital. Once Bryce leaves for the GDP of a small country they are back to basement dwelling.

The Dominican Trout.

Acuna no longer youngest player in mlb

 

[TheBravos]

Desperate

Need to promote Pache and say checkmate bitches.

Soto this season...
A (74 PA) = .373/.486/.814 18.9 bb, 17.6 k
A+ (73 PA) = .371/.466/.790 15.1 bb, 11.0 k
AA (35 PA) = .323/.400/.581 11.4 bb, 20.0 k

This kid is killing it this season. No idea how it translates to mlb level, but these numbers are quite impressive

Between Robles and Soto, GNats have replacements if Harper does dip.

Harper is looking like Dave Kingman right now.

Harper is looking like Dave Kingman right now.

...no he isn't?

Harper has a .390 OBP despite a terrible BABIP. Given that his batted ball profile is pretty well in line with his career numbers, I'd expect an explosion.

Not worried about his bat. His defense value (-4.6 according to fangraphs) is on pace to be -16.9. That's Matt kemp level bad

 

[SJ24]

Harper is going to DH and hit 50 bombs in Yankee Stadium next year.

 

[msstate7]

So they called him up, and they aren't starting him today? Weird

 

[jpx7]

Watch Soto come up, outproduce Acuña for a month, and this board melt down.

you misunderestimate the stability and veteran leadership we have on these boards

I am not saying he is bad, but he is not worth a plug nickel right now. He wants that 40 mil a year contract but right now he is at that 15 mil level currently. He better hope he turns it on or he can kiss that fat contract away.

They were facing Wood - thought I noticed one story mention that they would likely sit him against tough lefties.

When they rotate Harper/Stanton/Judge through the LF/RF/DH positions...damn.
