This is the thread where we talk about how awesome Kris Bryant is

I can't wait until we're down to a 2-man bullpen so we can keep all 13 of these infielders
Yeah, would be a real shame if we had to DFA LaStella

I'm down for clubbing the seal. I'm also down for keeping Russell on the DL for awhile.

I want him back ASAP when rosters expand just for defense late. He doesn’t need to start. But get in for late game defense with leads.

Will he need one or more rehab starts, or will he be able to jump into the lineup? I'd imagine he'd need to see some live pitching during a game.

From that tweet above:

[align=center]KB had a real nice BP session, he says he's finishing his swing with two hands now and it feels great. Claims he's hitting it harder and farther. Said it could be a game-changer like when he changed to a wider stance as a sophomore. Last hit in BP went off video board.[/align]

I assume he's talking about his stance in the batter's box, and not his stance while in a bathroom stall, right?

I really liked his stance in college w/ the wide base and legs further apart. It changed when he got to the Pros. He crouches now in his stance and isn't as wide in his base. Bryant claims he crouches so that he can get to those low pitches at the bottom of the strike zone, but I don't know if it's ideal.
