Little old for A+ but who knows. Next year will tell the tail.

[Krylian]

We should win MVP just for his name alone.

The last Lugnut to be named MVP was also 23 years old.

 

His name:

 

Kevin Pillar

You heard it here first folks, McGroom is the next Goldschmidt

That's because he's bald, lots of brains and brawn

Baseball is probably the hardest sport to draft for. Seriously a guys draft round doesn't matter. There are a lot of players that slip due to signability concerns and other times scouts/teams just miss certain players.

He's a Norman, their bald head is their card of presentation.

I'd still prefer to be a Daryl

The Darrells are the arrogants, the Normans are the bald virgins.

Everybody know it!!

Dominicans are better bro. You should know.

Yeah. Reyes over Tulo is a no-brainer

No no, I meant Norman Reedus... who plays Daryl on TWD.

[Caper]

Kevin Pillar is our starting CF. Obviously he's not a league best CF, but he's probably close to average. But the whole time he was in the minors no one had him on a top ten prospect list.

Agreed.

 

That said...he's the exception, not the rule.

 

The odds are that it's not going to work out for McBroom...but there's always a chance.

[King]

LB Dantzler 2.0

[MagicMike]

Pillar is one of the worst sluggers in baseball, 1 notch about Revere.

[Krylian]

And Mike Trout would get lit up on the mound.

 

There's more to the game than just power.

Yeah there is more... including AVG, OBP, and other things Pillar knows not of.

[Krylian]

No one cares about average. His defense is sublime.

[MagicMike]

How about OBP, do they care?

[Krylian]

How about OBP, do they care?

 

Yup. But if he had a good OBP, the ability to slug, coupled with his defense, he'd be elite...and no one is saying that.

 

He's below average with the bat...the his defense is in the elite territory. With this current offense, and with what he brings on the field from a defensive standpoint, he's a good fit for the 2015 team.

Are you female?

Magic mike is a gay movie, Amirite?

Below avg bat is a bit vague. Among CF he has the 3rd worst bat in baseball.

Man. It's so much easier to stomach guys like him and Goins when they defend like the do.

Congratulations to Ryan McBroom. A very good first full season!
