Is Chris Davis the worst player at MLB level right now?

That's not what you asked.

 

If you incorporate the value aspect then Davis is pretty bad.

Pujols says hi

Pujols says hi

 

Pujols has been better than Davis, just saying.

Fair - he did say right now. To be honest - I'd love nothing more to see Pujols have a bounce back year and get back to being an above average hitter (despite the fact it hurts the Jays playoff chances) . It's so sad watching the ghost of Pujols play. Maybe he's over all the foot issues...

[Jimcanuck]

Austin Riley rocking a 191 wrc+ as a 21 yr old in AA ball. That excludes his 3 for 4 day today with 2 triples.

 

Me likey.

[Angrioter]

I drafted Teoscar BBDL 9999 years ago. I'm good

[LGBJ29]

Tough night for Bo and Anthony A

Gurriel just hit his first homer of the year. Playing well so far.

Alford activated from the DL and optioned to Buffalo.

A familiar face at the complex today in an extended spring game with the Braves.

How did he do?

[spats]

How did he do?

 

I was only there for 2 at bats....grounder to the shortstop and a line drive single. He looks in great shape tho...wish him well. Off to the Dunedin game now.

The correct answer is Logan Morrison, rocking a -0.7 WAR in April.

You guys, Vladdy is hitting .362 with a .234 ISO and sub-9% K rate as a teenager in AA. WTF.

When was the last time a bat looked this special in the high minors? I literally don’t remember anyone checking so many boxes from a pure offensive point of view. There’s very real chance we have the next Pujols on our hands.

So you're saying Vlad is actually 25?

Mike Trout was striking out twice as much in AA at the same age. There's a pretty real chance that Vlad will be the best hitter in baseball some day, when guys like Trout, Altuve, Harper, Betts, etc are fading in their 30s.

[AledmysDiaz]

Vlad is the LeBron James of baseball

 

We need to get talent around him

[Jonn]

Thankfully he was born in Canada and has proper documentation.

[SpeedyGose]

Not sure how many people are aware of this feature on BP. I've added the link below - shows a list of all the relevant pitching matchups in the minor leagues with the ranks of the pitchers in top 101 and top 10s (if applicable) as well as the amount of 101s and 10s on each team. Pretty neat!

He could be 35 as long as he provides us with 80 WAR over the next 15 seasons.

Only shooting for 80? Trouts provided the Angels with close to 60 in 7 seasons. Vladdy is looking pretty special right now.

[Terminator]

Tatis Jr. is now over 100 ABs in AA and he's been terrible. By no means am I trying to slam him as a prospect but when compared to our own Top 10 teenage wunderkind it shows just how good Vlad is.

[AledmysDiaz]

Pujols was worth 53.4 WAR his first 7 seasons in the Majors. I think people need to taper their expectations of Vlad.

[Brownie19]

Is Richard Urena hurt? Must be - what did I miss?

His AA stats have been horrific. It's looking like they rushed him, shouldn't have skipped him over A+.

Temper?

[Brownie19]

Temper?

 

No, no. Taper them. I'm going to start with an expectation of 4 and taper that up to 10 by midseason.
