I didn't mean immediately.

I know but it looks like even 2H 2015 might be a long shot at this point unless he improves his control.

Almora and Rademacher collide in the outfield

[funkster]

I was wondering what the hell all the uproar over Almora's tweet was about.  

[vitaminB]

Some Iowa soccer mom had an issue with him saying Shit.

[funkster]

Ha, I saw that response.  Does your kid need to be on twitter anyway?

Torres:

 

.324/.409/.410

 

He's freaking 18, playing professional baseball. In Love with it. I think soon we'll see him rocket up the prospect ranking charts.

Kid is going to be 20-21 pushing for a spot on the majors roster.  Of course, he's another SS.

Maybe he ends up traded for Hamels or someone like him at some point.

So much can happen though, between now and then that I think you allow him to build value/confidence/progression at SS for now. If he's adequate at SS, he can be so in CF or LF. Or, Castro's gone, Baez flames out, then there Torres is...waiting to be a star. And, he's going to be a star. 

 

Edit-I love Castro and I'm not obsessed with the idea of trading him like the national media and some fans are. But, I can see an IF of Rizzo, Russell, Torres and Bryant in 2017.

Saw Clapp posted tweeted that too.  That's insane.

Gleyber hasn’t played in a few days for SB for some reason.

He hurt something running to first the other day. No word I've heard on how serious, but they're gonna play it tight I would think.

Baez 2-4 with 2 HR and 1 BB with 0 K. Avg now up to .322. He has to be getting pretty close.
