maxjusttyped Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 03:48 PM) Also helps how he has raised his power. If he can jump that up this year past this .150 plateau that would be interesting. First 4 years ISO .50 102 149 146 Â Last year of course he was able to finally get up to a more respectable obp too, so maybe that's more important. Guys with power ranging from non existent to moderate (Yolmer, Leury, TA) seem to be benefiting from the juiced ball quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 His stuff looks worse this year than the last two years. Only a 4-5 mph gap between fastball and change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 How could the ump call him safe? The ball beat him which used to be ruled an automatic out. And the replay shows out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 That's an out. Call should get reversed and end the top of the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Absolutely. Probably a main reason why sox have suddenly found depth. Their all power no contact guys now have even more power to be interesting (davidson), where their higher contact low power guys have enough power to play.

chitownsportsfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 03:48 PM) I mostly love how he is so good at picking it in a place that he can get a good throw off. He doesn't have a rocket arm but it plays well even at 3b because he is always in position to get it out. Â He has the fundamentals down absolutely pat. I wish TA would field more like Yolmer. You never, ever see Yolmer off balance or trying to round off a ball. He is always fielding the ball right under the bill of his cap, in a straight line from his nose to his belly button to his butt to his knees. Exactly how they draw it up in infield drills for the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Miguel Cabrera is one of the best hitters of his era and an unquestioned first ballot Hall of Famer. But to say he had a chance to be the greatest hitter of all-time is indefensible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Man I'm glad I'm not a Tigers fan. That Cabrera contract is going to be brutal. It already is. I think he's pretty much done as a star. Could pump out a couple more 2-3 WAR seasons maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Did Hawk forget about Mike Trout in his top 4 AL hitters in past 50 years? He named Manny, Miguel Cab, Albert Pujols (wasn't really AL, Hawk, come on now), and Frank Thomas. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
