You're kind of missing my entire point... he is probably already an above average bat... his defense and average base running will never make up for it. He's kind of like a poor man's Nelson Cruz (piss poor!).
Lol @ Old man Pujols trying to score from second on a ball in the gap and gets doubled-off when Yelich catches it.... that's school yard bro, school yard!
Pillar provides some value... but almost never from his bat. Good way to win over a fan base but make no mistake that bat will degrade the fans over time...
Will Chris Davis cry himself to sleep or will he sleep like a baby in his bed of millions of dollars... I honestly can't decide, I don't know what it's like to have that kind of money. Probably the later...
I keep waiting for Donaldson to go on a tear... he's starting to walk more, so I think it's imminent. Man I f***ing loved that guy on our team... like full out man crush.
So there's been like 3 near no-hitters against the blue jays in the first week and a half... that's gotta be some kind of record, this offense is amazingly bad
Devon was never actually a good lead off litter unless his 2015-2016 .350 BABIP is sustainable (very few guys can sustain that kind of BABIP unless they are Derek Jeter... but Jeter was faster and could leg out some of those hits)... because his low walk rate and next to zero chance to steal a base are not good lead-off attributes.
