Listening to part on speed at E. Ruiz. I get the comments but…he’s young. Only his first full year in majors. What if he improves? Wouldn’t take much. A little more power and more potential runs. What you say?
With all due respect, what about him suggests his bat will improve in any tangible way? He looks like every other SB-only empty bat we’ve seen across history. Honestly, it’d be a MASSIVE upset if all of a sudden he started providing a quality bat and I’d gladly re-assess if that did happen, but I’m not paying a top 150 pick on hope
