  1. Three batting titles, an MVP, 3 Gold Gloves, 5 Silver Sluggers. It's hard for me to fathom that there are people out there who don't believe he is a Hall of Famer. He may not be first ballot, but he definitely gets in.
  2. Well let's go for a drink together that weekend! 😅
  3. He is the one player I would actually go to Cooperstown to see inducted.
  4. I've seen him get hits on the first pitch and also turn an at bat into 8 or 9 pitches. Both are good Arraez at bats. Will definitely be missed.
  5. Lopez had several off the field situations going on that I believe impacted his performance on the field. I think he bounces back and has a good season either as set up or as closer.
  6. I can remember a game I went to in Kansas City in 2021 and Arraez had an at bat and kept fouling off pitch after pitch and the Royals fans all around me were getting so annoyed at it, I can't remember many of the details but that was one thing I will never forget. He sure did give us some fun at bats and was never gonna go down easily (like we saw in the one with Diaz in the OP). Looking forward to seeing him with the Marlins.
  7. You do realize you can keep scrolling if you disagree with the content of my posts instead of always feeling the need to reply.😉I've seen enough games where he fouled off pitch after pitch after pitch and eventually either worked a walk or got a hit to base my opinion.
  8. Giving Buxton the extra at bats makes sense since the leadoff hitter gets something like 20+ extra at bats over the season, but I would rather see him hit with runners on since he has power and doesn't hit into double plays.
  9. Polanco would be my pick as well, with Correa then Buxton.
  10. Yep, #17 in the AL just like I said. Thanks for corroborating my info with another site that you deem more reliable!
  11. Great story with him beating cancer as a kid and doing so well for stretches last season. Best of luck in Miami!
  12. Ranked #17 in the AL in 2022 and 2nd on the Twins behind Correa. http://stats.washingtonpost.com/mlb/getleaders.asp?rank=039
  13. The 2019 team had multiple guys with career years. This could be a first to third place team. I would still pick Cleveland/Chicago as the favorites.
  14. I am wondering who will be the leadoff, get on base guy for Buxton and Correa to hit behind. I'm not seeing a great answer at this moment.
  15. He also makes way too many mistakes in the field as well. Keep him in AAA to try to develop then reevaluate him with a full season in St. Paul under his belt.
  16. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. My biggest question is who will be hitting leadoff since Arraez held that spot so well last season.
  17. Nice article, we'll miss the long at-bats and battles, hopefully Lopez will become Johan Santana 2.0. (We can hope, right?)
  18. Lopez looks like he will be a good clubhouse guy and if he can be a #2 guy behind Gray I think this will turn out well. I hated the trade at first, but as the days go by, I am warming up to it.
  19. Good glove; bat, eh not so much. He's pretty speedy in center, I've seen him play with the Royals a number of times at Kauffman the past couple years.
  20. Good glove, not a great hitter.
  21. I would hope if they trade someone like Kepler it would be for bullpen depth.
  22. I'm curious to see if SWR and Balazovic see any time in the Majors this season. I'm guessing if they do something went terribly wrong.
