Grichuk

 

18.1 % HR/FB

.386 BABIP

0.19 % BB/K

 

Spells massive regression

He's aiming his home runs bro, true cardinals don't regress

[Brownie19]

Grichuk is kind of a fluke... it's Bryant all the way for NL (maybe Syndergaard).... Correa AL, or maybe McCullers.

 

Seriously - how good is Correa?

[HERPDERP]

Seriously - how good is Correa?

 

Over a full season he's projected to be better than Trout.

[Sammy225]

Bryant isn't even the rookie NL WAR leader... it's not him all the way. There are a whole bunch of legitimate NL candidates. I agree that Grichuk is very fluky.

 

If Devon Travis gets healthy and keeps producing, he has a shot at AL ROY.

 

I would think Travis has missed too much time. But never know if he comes back in middle of August and Rakes who knows.

[Boxcar]

Crazy year for rookies. Some insane talent entering the league right now.

 

I think it will probably be Correa in AL and Bryant in NL. I just believe in the talent.

I feel like everyone is going to vote for Correa. Travis's season even if he finishes strong will be overlooked because of all of the other Jays hitters.

Oh - didn't realize Matt Duffy was doing so well.

 

Travis won't have enough ABs, unfortunately.

Ventura's punk ass got roughed up by the Tigers. Poor baby.

I'm really surprised he had the gall to call Bautista "a nobody," especially considering they're both Dominican. Yordano's phone was probably ringing off the hook from Ortiz and Pujols tell him to show some f***ing respect.

For some odd reasons my posts were deleted when I went to edit.

 

LAA's 2009 draft:

 

24th overall - Randall Grichuk

25th overall - Mike Trout

42nd overall - Garrett Richards

[burlingtonbandit]

lol at calling a guy a nobody who has more ASG appearances than you do years in the bigs.

[Orgfiller]

Rajai Davis comes in to pinch-run following a single from Avila. He steals second immediately and moves to third following an errand throw from the catcher. Exciting stuff.

How exciting would it be if the Royals tanked the rest of the season and didn't make the play-offs.

And likely Guerrero, Martinez and even his mother.

This squirrel! Hahaha

Rally squirrel trying to throw Wade Davis off his game in Detroit.

That squirrel is saying put me in coach.

As great as that would be, chances are very slim. The AL Central is really bad and the Royals have a very good team.

I remember at the beginning of the season all the experts said the AL Central was the best division in the league, and that the AL East was not very good. Now the Central has one good team while the East has 3, maybe 4.

KC just lost, the price is wrong bitch! (not sure where I was going with that, just wanted to say it anyway)

Lol nobody ever posts between 4:30-5:30... either everyone eats their dinner at the same time or everyone works 9-5.

The HR derby thing is stupid. The best way to find oneself in a HR derby is to have an outstanding (often unsustainably good) first half.

[Dr Negative]

Yeah the curse of the HR derby = regression to the mean.

I actually already debunked it a bit... I was just making an observation more than any kind of analysis.

Welcome back Adam Loewen to the big leagues:

Welcome back Adam Loewen to the big leagues:

 

 

Is he still pitching, or is he back to hitting?

[GD]

Pitching. Saw him in Buffalo.

[bendera3]

Pitching. Saw him in Buffalo.

 

I'd love to get him back in the organization and try to have him be both an outfielder and pitcher. I think he could be valuable if he did both.
