That is possible, but a few of the comps that myself and BTS listed on the first page are probably good comps... Adam Duvall, Hunter Renfroe, Nick Williams, etc
Tons of teams make mistakes, everyone on this forum 10 yrs ago wanted to play Travis Snider over Jose Bautista. But I guess stubborn old Cito did one thing right.
But thanks for the article above dinger, my view isn't going to change on Teoscar, obviously he is going to regress, what he is going to regress to no one quite knows yet. I do my best to take an educated guess based on some numbers, Im obviously in the group 75% of the time I think he is an AAAA player that is going to hit something like 225/260/425 in the majors.
Change the thread title back please, if Teoscar has an OPS > 800 by June 1st (assuming he is still on the majors) Ill donate 500$ to this forum and u can keep put the title to whatever u want.
No he hasn't cmon. He beat up some cookie mistake pitches the first few days, and has done pretty much what you and me predicted in this thread since then.
He can hit mistake pitches, we know that, hence why he is an AAAA hitter, but when pitchers hit their spots he looks useless as per the last week.
Speak english wtf?
If I go all-in in poker with 27offsuit and win the pot does that mean it is the right play? No, baseball is similar to poker because weird things can happen in small sample sizes. I like to thing long term instead of short-term in both. Oh crap last night I lost 100, I suck at poker, err wait but I'm up 20k this month.
That last at bat he took a down away slider rather for strike 3 instead of swing and do s*** with it like has 95% of the time. I'm happy with that at-bat, because so far he has proven that he cant hit anything down and away to pretty much save his life.
But in reality this is why he won't succeed, swinging at pitches he knows hes not going to hit well unless the pitcher makes a mistake (example this at bat)_
No, not gonna get fooled by some random SSS. I was the equivalent of a teoscar fanboy over SSS back in the days with snider, jpa, ruiz, brad mills, rzep, etc.
Ill trust his 7 year minor league track record > SSS MLB
Sorry I'm a bit lost have you guys not seem his battling line over the last 7 days 222/333/444? Yea he looked good and bad last night vs Sale, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what type of hitter he is going to be.
Is JimCanuck hacked or what? He has been a notorious fan boy stating that numerous numbers of Jays prospects will be studs iregardless of the stats. Now he says Guerrero is a bust? Wat
How did the Phillies blow the picks on Haisley and Moniak, ugh. Both looked so bad when I saw them at Clearwater, and they are both OPS'ing around 600 now in the FSL, ugh
