Is he even going to physically be able to coach in a few years? Due to circulatory issues, he's already missing parts of his foot and calve, then there was talk recently he might lose the whole leg.
I didn't take a RB until the 5th round this year which is by far the latest I've ever waited. There's just too much volatility and injury risk in the position. Granted I took an injured Cooper Kupp in the 2nd, but even if he misses a few games, Kupp as a #2 WR is pretty crazy.
The fact that Seiya is up to an .807 OPS, 118 wRC+ and 2.5 fWAR is just crazy. Since his return to an everyday player on August 11th we're looking at
99 PAs of .344/.394/.678, 8.1 BB%, 14.1 K% and a 184 wRC+.
He's mashing no doubt, but if he wants a long MLB career he's going to need to take some walks. Between A+ and AA, he's just over 4% which is pretty awful. Comparatively, even Nico has a 6.7 BB%
I know it shouldn't matter that much, but man would I feel so much better about things if they had closed out the 2nd game and taken 3 of 4 from Cincy.
