Quick bat. You cannot teach hand speed as natural as this.

But can he make it through another Rule 5 draft if we don't add him to the 40 man?

Doubtful.
And due to playing at a higher level & having greater position flexibility/ ability then some others I suspect he would be added/ protected before some other 'fan favorites'..

5th HR of the year for Steven Kwan. Had 3 total for his career going into this season.

He's got a legit chance....

How is it possible that George Valera has 17 extra base hits on the year and only 1 is a double?

Cause he thinks Triples and HRs are better.... Lol that is a weird stat, but I just looked and it's true...

@CATS44

Make a list of the rule 5 eligible prospects in like tiers, in something like, have to protect, should protect, etc

We seem to have a lot of guys at Akron who are raking; Lavastida (.370/.977 in 53 AB's), Kwan (.329/.937), Call (.310/.892), Palacios (.299/.885), Freeman (.323/.842 before he got hurt), and Benson (.227/.866 with a .380 OBP).

Nobody at Columbus is doing much. Arias had a nice July (.310/.881) but has slipped in August (.298/.715). Oscar Gonzalez is hitting .304/.855 in August after hitting .258 in July after getting promoted from Akron one week into the month. Looks like he's adjusting to AAA pretty well.

Why is Nolan Jones still playing 3B?
,,,,, Unless there's a plan.

I asked this question earlier in the week.

Why was Freeman playing anything but second base?

Why is Palacios playing anywhere but in the outfield?

Why isn't Gimenez playing every day?

Why aren't we grooming anybody to play first base for next year...in case Bradley flops?

Why is Chang playing at all?

Shit like this makes me so happy.

Arias is going to be literally incredible. Young Lindor sized rocket ship to the stars.

This whole thread gets me pumped for the coming years. It feels like we may be on the verge of a special run the fans deserve.

....all 13,000 of them lol
