Navarro is such a bad framer

Sit down Trumbo that ball was perfectly placed.

Navarro is such a bad framer

 

I believe one of the worst in baseball this season, but I haven't checked for myself.

Hawk just said Avi is the most talented player on this ballclub.

 

*sigh*

 

He really needs to just retire. I'm not a huge Benetti fan but compared to hawk holy s*** he's amazing. Unlike Hawk, Benetti actually seems to enjoy his job and doesn't just spout the same 3-5 points over and over again.

Old ballplayers can never get away from that "five tool" way of thinking, comparisons to guys like Mays, Mantle (before the knee problems) and Clemente.

 

Avi has elements of all five of the tools, although it's hard to argue at this point that "defense" would still be one of them. He does have a strong arm, has power (potential), batting average (potential) and can run well for his size, but needs a bit more time to get going full-speed and isn't first-step quick but is quite fast after he gets a full head of steam going.

 

 

Realistically, he could say Tim Anderson is the most talented (potential) player in the organization and it would make more sense than saying Avi is the most talented.

I'd say that Avi has elements of no more than three of those tools.

Speed, Arm, and Power I would say he "flashes". He has NEVER shown me good contact or defensive skills.

Call your sons! Call your daughters!

PERFECT GAME through 3

You can schedule the post-game show

No proof

He gone.

I know now. My TV was acting up.

PERFECT GAME over

Speed, Arm, and Power I would say he "flashes". He has NEVER shown me good contact or defensive skills.

 

My quick Avi ratings:

 

Speed 45/45

Arm 50/50

Contact 30/55

Power 25/60

Defense 20/30

 

Honestly after looking at my quick scouting report it doesn't look like his upside is much more than solid starter, and that's a long way off. Obviously he needs to have a good year to stay in MLB, let alone become a solid starter.

Crap. No more walks.

It's honestly amazing how good the pitching has been with all the strikes we're losing

That's a baddddd error. f***

Motherf***er

Lawrie needs a day off.

Bad, bad error. However, this team REALLY needs to score some darn runs.

Nice! Get out of this.

The real Lowery appears?
