2017 BREAKOUT ALERT.. Kevin Pillar

[gruber92]

His new short and quick approach will do wonders. His HR total will be most likely be in the single digits, but his new approach will no doubt increase his numbers everywhere else. He sure looks a lot more comfortable at the plate in the few AB's he's had so far and it appears Jacoby may have found what he needed.

 

He's hit well at every level of pro ball except at the MLB level. He has a natural born ability in getting the barrel to the ball but big league stuff (especially secondaries) are recognized too late. His new shorter approach will allow him to let the ball travel a bit longer before committing. Just the way he's taking pitches now would indicate he's seeing the ball a lot better.

 

The talent is there, but his approach needed something to adjust to the superior MLB pitching. He seems like he may have found something, so look for his offensive numbers to be much better.

 

.285 / .330 / .440

[Laika]

Yeah I agree - I listened to the game on the radio today and he looked really good and confedent.

[jays4life19]

Would be nice but I kinda doubt it.

 

I'll bet you 50$ he's a sub 100 wRC+ guy? Min 300 PA's?

[BTS]

That Goins kid really looks lost at the plate this season with his 000/000/000 slash line. I wonder what day he gets DFA'd. I'm guessing last week of March.

[Boxcar]

Would be nice but I kinda doubt it.

So slimy

[Gary]

Is he juicing?

[gruber92]

Yeah I agree - I listened to the game on the radio today and he looked really good and confedent.

 

Wasn't Sunday's game on TV f*** nuts?

[jays4life19]

So slimy

 

Need to fund the BJMB DFS league for 2017!

[gruber92]

Would be nice but I kinda doubt it.

Make it 90 wRC+ and you're on.

[Laika]

Make it 90 wRC+ and you're on.

 

That's literally his projected wRC+

 

WOW YOU MUST LOVE KP

Yawn

[Laika]

a .770 OPS for Toronto is basically a 110 wRC+

[gruber92]

That's literally his projected wRC+

 

WOW YOU MUST LOVE KP

 

"projected"

 

and?..

Lol.. What a nerd.

Surely there are better ways to make money than taking advantage of the mentally retarded.

[gruber92]

Did you ever stop and THINK that there may literally be people reading this board that are truly mentally challenged?

 

You're a real f***ing goof.

[Laika]

you mean like yourself?

[gruber92]

Seriously.. What's the f***ing problem here?

[BTS]

Did you ever stop and THINK that there may literally be people reading this board that are truly mentally challenged?

 

You're a real f***ing goof.

 

There's at least one.

[Boxcar]

Did you ever stop and THINK that there may literally be people reading this board that are truly mentally challenged?

 

You're a real f***ing goof.

 

Oop, sorry, did you prefer to go by mentally challenged? I'll make a note. I like "retarded" because it gives a more clear picture, since your brain does not age as quickly as the rest of you. I didn't mean offense by using retarded, just wanted to be specific.

[gruber92]

The hive is back in full force.

 

People can't freely post their opinions on a public forum without being attacked i guess.

 

Whatever floats your boats kids.

[P2F]

You're a real f***ing goof.

 

Did you ever stop and THINK that there may literally be people reading this board that are truly child molestors?

[jays4life19]

There's at least one.

[gruber92]

You kids are boring and annoying. We'll see..

[Boxcar]

Did you ever stop and THINK that there may literally be people reading this board that are truly child molestors?

 

Guy has zero tact

You freely posted your opinions.

 

People also freely posted theirs explaining why yours is retarded.

[gruber92]

You freely posted your opinions.

 

People also freely posted theirs explaining why yours is retarded.

 

No real reasons explaining why, but fair enough. The only defense is going by projections, which by the way are moderately better than his 2016 numbers.

[Boxcar]

- feels the need to make a post in all caps, proclaiming a KP BREAKOUT

- projects a 110 wRC+ based on the Gruber method (top secret)

- unwilling to take a bet unless the mark is TWENTY PERCENT worse than his own f***ing prediction that he felt the need to make a thread about.

- no one takes him seriously due to mental challenges, proceeds to take the stupid man's approach of assuming that everyone other than him is dumb.

 

Gruber, you're a special one, man. Strap on your velcro shoes and make your mark on the world, my friend.
