Oh please, Eloy would get injured falling over backwards on the bench with a hot dog in his mouth causing him to choke because he was too busy yelling “hi mom” into the camera
The bat is fine IMO. It’s going to be very BABIP-reliant, but it’s definitely playable as the 9th hitter. It’s the defense that is borderline unplayable this season. He has this year to show it can improve. If it doesn’t, I expect he’s on the trade market this offseason.
Agreed about throwing out the projections, so if that’s the case, why should we be confident his defense and base running will improve? As Stoney just said on the radio, Madrigal needs to stop lobbing the ball over to first.
