Where's Dankind at?

I've never taken BYTO out of my bookmarks bar. Sometimes I click the URL. The 2-3 seconds while it tries to load it gives me hope.

RIP Kobs. I wept reading this.

Parmelee showed pretty big power and patience early in his career, but struggled with Ks and BA. He was obviously asked to make some adjustments, which sapped his power but apparently improved his ability to put the ball in play. Now it appears that he may have figured out how to combine the two. The guy was a first rounder because he appeared to have the tools to rake. I think those tools are finally being realized, and I think he's likely to become a productive major leaguer, even more so than Plouffe, whose career took a similar path.

Parmelee with another bomb. 1.500 OPS in his last 10 games with 7 HRs, compared to 4 strikeouts.

I'm with you. He hit 16 HRs in the FSL as a 21 year old. Sometimes the FSL doesn't even have a guy with 20 HRs, much less frequently by a 21 yo. I can't recall whether that was before or after the swing tweaks.

Does what Parmelee has done over the last year or so elevate his status? He is destroying AAA. Walking. Not striking out. Hitting a HR every 13 ABs. Even looking at his body of work (young for several levels, lots of power in difficult hitting environments) it could be surmised that maybe he's got a brighter future than many expected going into this season.

So a word filter is in order then?

Hispanic = entitled. White = confident. I think that's about what the first comment boils down to.

If the front office knew how to use the internet, Perkins would be on the first flight back to Rochester after reading this nonsense.

They've gotten VodkaDave in full effect, and they still wanted BYTO to migrate here? Give them a dose of DPJ, and let's see if they still think it's a good idea.
