Not really sure where to post this but do you guys know that picture of Javy sitting on the bench where he "signed" his name on the wall?

 

I wanted to use that instead of this as my av but couldn't remember where to find it.

You mean the one I just made my AV?

 

:wink:

Why not start giving Villanueva some reps at 2B? Alcantara could end up in CF, and it would take a lot of bad news for him to have a chance at 3B.

it would take just about as much bad news for him to have a chance at 2b

Fun fact: Since Addison Russell debuted, there have been more days (15) where one of the Big 4 has hit a home run than there have been days where no one has (11.) There have also been nearly as many days (9) where multiple people have hit home runs, than there have been where no one hit one.

on that note, this HR tracker is pretty hysterical:

Only 4 days where everyone played and no one hit a HR.

Number of PA vs younger pitcher.

 

This season/Career

 

Russell: 0/6

Baez: 0/2

Alcantara: 0/45

Almora: 3/7

Bryant: 9/52

Soler: 26/59

 

I don't know how useful this information is but I thought it was interesting.

You are right. I'm on the phone and in need of specs.

Thanks for sharing. Definitely shows how young the group is, Soler's is distorted from his Arizona games.

Who would have guessed 4 of the 5 would have multi HR games and Bryant would be the one who hasnt..

I feel like Javy's Futures Game HR deserves some love.

Yeah, he's batted in 8 games vs. a younger pitcher and I'm assuming 7 of them were his games in Arizona. So I guess he has 2 or 3 PAs if you just want to count AA/AAA.

Their helmets create a very wide V.

All the minor leagues have to wear the giant helmets. I don't know if anyone in MLB still wears them, but I remember David Wright wearing one after he got beaned in the head.
