He cut down his k's 6% and his walks 3%, so he's putting an extra 9% of his at bat's in play. That's a huge deal for someone who hits the ball as hard as anyone. The trade off on walks was a smart play.

.....So why did the media release say he was going to Charlotte? They really must not think much of anything about Collins.

I find it hard to trust speed grades, even though in theory that should be by far the easiest thing to scout. Robert is always around 60, but I watched him run almost 32 miles an hour two days ago. That's easily 80 speed.

This is the first I'm hearing of this publication, is their rep any good?

I agree that Moncada should not factor into this decision, but they really need to do their best to not burn any bridges with Jose if they decide to move on.

Yeah that's why I added the 'and even', I think Eloy has that generational hitter potential that Vaughn doesn't quite have.

Everything about this is so much better than the last. Especially Benetti v Berman

Holy shit dude

No way Joc has 8. Wow

This rules so hard. I love the HRD

If he lived in the us most of his life would he have been an International prospect? Maybe vlad left the family on the island.

Yeah that fair. I just mean neither guy has the seemingly unlimited ceiling a Moncada, Robert or even Eloy has.

I think it’s more my opinion that it’s really unlikely that Vaughn will be on the short list of best hitters who have ever lived like 3 of the guys you just named. The ceiling I picture for Vaughn is something like Rizzo.

I just don’t think Eaton’s best year is too much to ask. And I think your looking at an Abreu type output from Vaughn rather than cartoony power numbers.

Willians Astudillo would be your point of comparison, and he stinks. So it’s possible. Madrigal being able to run helps though. I also imagine Nick will be able to walk more than he strikesout unlike Astudillo

They're both pretty low ceiling guys. They could both be all-star type players, but neither is going to be like a top 15 player in baseball. Madrigal's ceiling will always be limited by his power and Vaughn's his position/athleticism.

oh come on

You can catch both guys at Thunderbolts stadium in Crestwood on various weekends this summer.

It's incredibly annoying how good Trout is honestly lol

I would file this under the ever growing pile of sure why not. I'm hoping that file becomes obsolete in the near future.

Thaaaaaaat makes more sense. Still not likely the case

...why would the sox care about him learning from McCann if they are trading him? This is a bit of a non-sequiter

He's really really really good. So yeah sure.

Here Here!

It's just Eloy. I suppose EE-loy is a nickname in it's own way since he's said it's pronounced eh-LOY
