Big Mouth on Netflix, animated, anyone? At times I felt like I should go to jail for laughing at this. If you do decide to watch, make sure there are no children within 100 miles of your TV. The Hormone Monster and The Shame Wizard are fantastic.
I watched the first episode some time ago and being a card carrying Canuck, I felt obligated to enjoy it. I didn't, and haven't watched another episode. Perhaps I should give it another chance.
My thoughts when they acquired Austin was that he wasn't much more than a two outcome hitter and that folks around here would grow weary of him in short order. That may still happen, but so far I've been pleasantly surprised and hope he can continue to be an asset. They could certainly use a RH bat with some pop.
What do people feel his upside is at this point? Anyone feel like giving a comp? It seems as if his offensive value is going to be tied to his batting average as he doesn't have much power and has never taken a lot of walks. He also strikes out way too much for a guy with so little power. I don't want to write him off yet but other than 40+ games repeating AA, his offensive numbers are kind of meh, and from what I've read he isn't bringing a slick glove with him either.
