It is for a 20 year old kid with solid athletic ability.
Don't pigeon hole him. He can be an adequate OFer. He's just going to have to learn on the job. And I just think that's gonna be an awfully tough ask for a kid that's also adjusting to big league pitching after skipping AAA outright. |

Athletically no - he has the ability that Yepez doesn't.
But man, I think he might actually be a worse OFer than Yepez right now. He's making mental mistakes just about every time he has a chance to. Bad breaks, bad reads, awful decisions with the ball. He's a mess defensively. |

While I’d want him to be a stud defensively, if he’s able to hit, I don’t care as long as he isn’t a complete black hole on the field defensively. |

I don't need Heyward out there in RF. But he's gotta be credible and right now he's not that. Oh, and LIFT THE DAMN BASEBALL, JORDAN!!! (still don't like his swing; too much natural power for a swing path that flat) |

Pretty please learn to lift the ball, Jordan?
I mean he's hitting absolute rockets out there. I don't need a 20 degree launch angle here but man if you can just get that up to 12% instead of hitting missiles into the dirt, you're gonna be a DAMN dangerous hitter. His hustle actually caused that error. Classic case of a guy having plenty of time to settle and throw but he saw Walker sprinting down the line and Biggio rushed the throw. That should've been a pretty routine smother/throw sort of out but Walker's hustle forced the mistake. |

He sucked. No life on anything he threw. The slider was working a bit in his last inning but prior to that the hitters were just standing there waiting for him to throw them something. He essentially lulled them to sleep. He was bad today, ERA be damned. |

Gausman was good and the Jays sort of blew that any chance at that game. Flaherty was there to be crushed and they let him off the hook repeatedly.
