He’s awesome....still can’t believe Murphy homered off of him last year

La Russa has said in multiple occasions he has the most talent on the entire team. He’s literally just young and spring training numbers don’t matter at all. Like at all to people who watch baseball. We don’t know what he’s working on was told to do. Spring training matters 0 percent. 

It helps that Robert's floor starts with him being perhaps the best defensive outfielder in baseball with elite raw power/exit velocity. Those skills never leave him. Even when his approach is completely out of whack he's going to be a very valuable player. The hitting will come around.

Vaughn's approach is already so polished. He just never swings at bad pitches.

Back end of the bullpen should be nails, which is helpful

Quality AB from Robert. So nice to see.

Nice AB by Robert. Even last year during his slump, Robert's ABs are wildly inconsistent. There are times that he swings at everything, and others where he's patient. It's baffling. 

Quality ab from Looie and a ribeye. Nice. 

Matt Reynolds has been Mr. Clutch this spring

Taking all these guys with me to Disneyland.

Had a double yesterday and a game tying walk today. When will people stop worrying and learn spring training doesn’t matter. He was awesome in the playoffs

Not being a meatball. He has made Good contact 2 times in 2 weeks. I really hope its boredom and wanting to work through things. I am one of his biggest fans, but he still is chasing too often and is in 0-2 counts nearly half his at bats. I know spring training means nothing, but the tendencies remain to start the season quite often. He will still be elite when he makes contact, but 47% swing rate is 3rd worst in baseball and worth watching in April. I still think he is a peak 7-8 WAR guy if everything clicks, but that is several seasons away until discipline improves. His minors numbers show adversity and then explosion though, so I would rather the struggles be now then when it matters. With Eloy out he is probably the most important bat in the lineup.

He’s also a guy with only 60 mlb games guys a freak athleticism. It doesn’t mean it’s going to happen right away. That was the case for Anderson, moncada and eloy. Not sure why Sox fans have forgotten that. He will be fine. Moncada led the majors in strikeouts. You guys just gotta be patient.

Don't be silly. Anderson to CF Vaughn to 3B, Magic to SS, Yoan to 2B.
