My first thought when someone mentioned Almora walked yesterday was that maybe they were letting him pitch and the person had typo'd balk.

Bryant 0-3, with a BB and 2K's today.

I’ll try to sprinkle some early thoughts here in a series of blog posts. Here’s the first one.

 

Kris Bryant is really good. Not only has the Cubs prospect (and No. 2 overall pick) started his Fall League by going 8-for-18 with two homers and a double, he puts on a ridiculous batting practice show. The power is beyond legit. He’s also an early member of the All-Interview Team: very engaging and thoughtful. He even was happy to talk to me about how he started with his wide stance (sophomore season). I was particularly curious because my 12-year-old son, Ziv, has been using something very similar.

Don't understand how Bryant's ceiling is only a high 6 in Parks's book when he has such crazy power.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Because ceiling is stupid and doesn't even really mean what it seems like it should mean.

[Guest]

Everyone and everything is stupid and nothing means anything.

Is that baseball hipster enough?

Just his opinion. I have Bryant higher than a role 6 ceiling, and I'm sure many others do too.

Almora singles to raise his AFL average to .563

Is his hit tool really not elite?

Come on Sulley, you know how nebulous this nonsense is. It's just a projection with no real objective anchor. Bryant can be any number you want him to be.

bryant is a 6 on my scale of -3 to 6. that makes him a 95 third baseman!

The Solar Sox are making me question my belief that baseball is crazy enough that a team can't possibly be stacked enough to win like all of their games.

Our lineup is going to rip through mutherfuckers
