December 23, 20205 yr @Y2Jimmy0 @Y2Jimmy, do you expect them to play him a year in the DSL like they did with Robert? I hope this isn't the case.

That just seems ridiculous to me

That just seems ridiculous to me Honestly, Cespedes’s Cuban stats aren’t anything to get excited about and the last time anyone saw him play he struggled. Any reports or rankings on him at this point is complete guess work. I don’t think he’s below Sheets, but I do think people need to curb their expectations with him. This is not Robert 2.0

January 15, 20215 yr I keep seeing different spellings of his first name. Is it Yoelkis or Yolqui or is Yolqui a nickname for Yoelkis?

That just seems ridiculous to me If that rating is accurate...no reason to get overly excited about him. He'll have to play himself on to the team. Can't assume he will be a fast riser in the system.

There are natural mechanisms that make a major league hitter just a freak of nature. They usually have amazing hand-eye coordination and outstanding vision. You can't teach that. Now their swing mechanics however can be changed and massaged over time.
