The swing and miss is a little worrisome, but I do think that will settle down some with time and experience. It seems like he's trying to do a little too much at the plate right now to get to Chicago as fast as he can, but once he settles down I don't think it's going to be a long-term concern. When he does get called up, he might be a guy who struggles initially because of his approach, but the bat speed, premium power and the feel for hitting even with some strikeouts should still make him a star.

I really hope his June - July - August K/B B is closer to his true talent.


I've seen 3 of his PA and he did seem a bit anxious up at the plate.

Ryan Searle released from Smokies maybe? It's a shame for me personally if it is as he was the Cubs Aussie representative.

 

Yeah, it was Searle.  So does he get kicked out of the country now too?</blockquote>


You would want to hope so, you don't want stray Australians running around your country. It took 6 weeks for Homeland Security to catch up with me last year.

Kris Bryant belts his 7th HR.  Not in this game, that would be a record.

And he just hit another one. Two tonight.

Rob Spellcheck continues to do all types of suck for Daytona.

Rob Spellcheck continues to do all types of suck for Daytona.

 

He was apparently hit by a line drive and left the game holding his wrist.

I hope they play well tomorrow, for I will be there.

2 HRs for Bryant today.

[Auz]

6 RBI's for Bryant

[rok]

I'm going to go into meathead mode soon and start pleading for Bryant to get a September call up.

Ryan Searle released from Smokies maybe? It's a shame for me personally if it is as he was the Cubs Aussie representative.

 

I remember the days when I would pimp Searle's name a bit here and there. One more sad washout of a Cubs prospect to add to the heap.

Stephen Bruno is also mashing for the Smokies.

I watched a lot of video on his swings from over the weekend and it is one of the worst swings I've seen in a while. He's all over the place. Deciding to swing or not before pitches, hacking, etc. Definitely has top 3 bat speed if he was in MLB and definitely has 70 power. Just needs to learn how to harness his talents at a level where he doesn't see 75%-80% heaters like he did at A/AA.

I would turn for Bryant...

 

3 for 3 with a homer and 2 runs scored after the 5th inning.

 

Soler also 2 for 2 with a double, rbi and a walk.

[nakedman1664]

Get him to Iowa.

 

 Bryant, not Soler....yet.

[funkster]

Was just coming on here to post that..beast.
