i still dont understand why soriano didnt get dfa'd instead of richard

 

Because Soriano has a better track record of success, a much higher ceiling if he can get it together, and while stupid because it's a sunk cost, they invested quite a bit in him and want to exhaust all opportunities to get their money's worth.

 

ugh your right but its so ugh lol i dont think he has had a good outing..

 

i think sometimes maddon plays favorites, in this case soriano was his goto guy half a decade ago...

 

Joe its not the same guy!

Not to upset Bob Sanders, but Adrian Beltre has hit for the cycle in THE FIFTH INNING and remains an epic human.

Was it a complete fluke that almost all of our top prospects have strikeout issues? Was that an attribute that was purposely ignored, is it an issue with development or just simply a matter of young power hitters tend to have contact issues?

 

anecdotal, but Mike Trout had 139 K's in his rookie year, and 184 in last year's MVP season

 

Harper had 120 in his rookie year, but has averaged less than 100/season since

 

Bryant already has 128 with about 2 months to go

 

I know

Soler is.....not very good in RF

 

That was terrible

 

He's not even close to hitting well enough to put up with this crap
