As an Ole Miss fan I don't waste my hate on MS State. I perfer to use my hate on real SEC schools like LSU and Florida.

I thought he had a really good weekend. only downside were the strike outs yesterday.

Yep. When he came out sucking, I thought he might be another underbaked prospect (see Wisler, Blair, Folty). He's doing a better job of recognizing breaking stuff. Still room for improvement, but I'm encouraged.
Bobby did a lot of in-game managing that I didn't like, but I really liked the way he would invariably hit prospects eighth, tell them to concentrate on defense and do the same with the media.
For the month of May he is hitting 291/414/455 - 126 WRC+ and has been worth 0.6 fWAR which is good for 6th among SS for the month.
Dansby is going to be just fine. He does enough of everything to be a good ballplayer. All of the marketing efforts based around him and the national media calling him the favorite for the NL R.O.Y might have been too much, or he may have jsut had a bad month. He's not someone I worry about though.
It is an extremely good sign that his defense is being valued as highly as it is. He's basically been a 2 dWAR player so far, which is fantastic at short. The fact that he can be a solid player with an OPS barely better than .600 is very, very good. Because he should be able to get that to at least .750 before too long.
Of course, FG still has him as basically a replacement player because their formula is different on defense, but still a positive sign given his offensive struggles.

I believe UZR lags behind DRS as far as it being updated. So that's likely accounting for the difference. DRS has Swanson as being +3 where UZR has Swanson as league average.

He looked lost vs ss. But ss was on that game. Last at bat was great.
I like his approach. He seems to go the other way well but has the ability to turn on a pitch.
Just need to see it without the hitting eighth walks to push up obp

Hit 7th Saturday and got 2 walks vs scherzer
The effect of batting 8th is interesting. For 2017 in the NL:
Batting 7th: 2658 PAs with a line of .244/.313/.394
Batting 8th: 2567 PAs with a line of .253/.326/.405
Assuming the 7th and 8th place batters are nearly equivalently talented hitters, it looks like batting in front of the pitcher in the NL boosts a hitter's OBP by 10-15 points. Then again, all offensive numbers for the 8th hole hitter are higher by ~10 points, which doesn't make sense with the pitcher "protecting" the 8th place hitter.
Can you run those numbers for ten years and see if the same trends show?
So with less than a month to go Bregman is sitting at an ISO of .194. 124 WRC+ and 3.2 fWAR on the season. As I said 51 XBH. Power is more than homerun totals.
