I asked Eno on FG about Albies and got this response. I have no idea what it means though. I must not have gotten enough sleep last night...

1:17 BP has Albies all the way down to #40 in their mid-season update. Does that seem crazy to you?
Eno Sarris
1:17 Give me their shares.

Way to be crystal clear Eno?

this is my best interpertation.
He was thinking "They need to share what they're smoking"
started typing "Give me what their smoking" but his mind jumbled the two.
really a stretch.. but I like it.

I think he means he'll buy their shares of stock in Albies.

I think what he meant was "shares" as in stock. Like if they want to sell their shares, he'll take them. Just a guess, though.

Yeah, you're right. Makes sense now. Still a weird way to phrase it.

yeah.. so what.. I like mine because I don't want to be wrong.. even if yours makes more sense..
Just saw this in the BP chat about Albies --
Mike (Sandy Springs): Can you explain Albies at 40? Dominating AAA right now and is the youngest player in the league. Still has not faced a pitcher younger than him and the power is emerging. 5HR's in the last few weeks, steals bases, good in the field and had hit everywhere he's gone and he's only 20 years old!
Jeffrey Paternostro: So this is one of those things where he's just never done it for me. It's not a very physical profile, it's incredibly hit tool driven, and he doesn't have, say, Verdugo's bat control. I think he's a better fit at second base too. I know I am out of step with the prospect-ranking industrial complex on this one, and I might take an 'L' here, but it's 'just' an average regular for me. I did get some significant push back on this one actually, but I stuck with it. If I'm wrong, it will be pretty obvious why. You listed all the reasons.

I have to wonder how many guys putting up similar AAA numbers at 20 years old end up as average regulars. Especially ones that can play SS and 2B.
I have a hard time taking a list seriously with such a blatantly divergent thought process behind it.
At least they've been consistently down on him though. He was a clear 10-12 guy from literally everyone else to start the season, and BP tabbed him at 35.

hit tool gets underrated sometimes...though Albies has more than that going for him

Albies. He's killer with the bat.
