Who is more likely to sustain their first couple of months... Shoulders or Geiger?

Good question. I'll take the less popular of the two, in Geiger. He's younger than Rock, has a lesser K rate and is playing at the higher level.

 

So what is Rock's ceiling? He was fairly well touted when he was drafted, and a lot of people were very pleased when he signed. Could he be at least, say Russ Branyan or Carlos Pena with the bat?

Baez with error #20 tonight. On pace for 65.

Was at the KC game tonight. Almora's first hit was single to right, the second one was fluky chopper over third that he got 2nd when he hustled, and then another hard single in the 7th. Looked smooth in CF too. Vogelbach's double was crushed. If you've ever been to Peoria, you'll know there's a well just to the right of CF. He hit it off the wall there. Probably 405'. Jeimer hit the ball really hard a couple times too.

Thanks. Sounds like Almora's TWTW is at about .1000 right now.

I swear I never usually make that mistake. It's late, and my softball team just pulled a Cubs tonight.
