I hope he's ok. I want the Cardinals to be ridiculously healthy this year so that their fans have to acknowledge their badness. Ugh, no. I am a firm believer in this when it comes to the Cardinals: They're due.
I don't know; seems like all of the major projections have Park right in the range I suggested, surprisingly. People seem to be a fan of his power and hitting ability translating pretty well. I'm surprised so few of us picked Seager; I definitely thought along your lines and figured a bunch of people would have him.
I was burned by Fukodome, so I'm not buying the Park hype until he proves me wrong. Don't see the power translating just yet. That's what I'm telling myself! That said, Park's clearly in a different class power-wise. I gotta figure he's good for 25-30 dongs.
I completely blanked on Park and I'm kicking myself over it. Checked the prospects and injured players from last year and double-checked to see if any crazy Cubans had been signed, but completely forgot about him. I'm still annoyed I changed my WC last year from A-Rod to Soler at the last second before sending the PM.
And people wonder why there's an irrational dislike of LaStella. Regardless of the logic, it's like tempting people with filet mignon and giving them salad instead. Sure, the salad is the smarter, healthier choice, but:
Group A: Mike Trout Group B: Stanton, Rizzo Group C: Schwarber, Correa, Miguel Cabrera Group D: Heyward, Addison Russell, Puig, Starlin Castro, Carlos Gomez
