How so? Pitchers will pitch around the elite of the elite power hitters, but not most guys. And you still have to be willing to not swing at those pitches.
Don't...call it that Just that he still calls it that shows me that he's not ready to start game threads. Still? This has happened before? How was he not banned, or why hasn't the expletive blotter taken care of it?
Nothing was worse than last year IMO. We were just as bad, but Castro and Rizzo looked awful and we didn't have Baez and friends to look forward to. But we aren't living through last year now, so this is worse.
It's a third round pick, not much an impact. They need impact wherever they can get it. That already addressed your positions of concern and limiting yourself to only a couple positions in the draft is dumb.
I believe he could handle that, maybe even sooner. But the organization will want to leave open the option of keeping him down through May of next year, or whatever date it is, to extend their control over his prime years.
