Hey buddy, nice breakdown! As you know, we share a DEEP mutual respect for each other's sports IQ, and although my selections above are a little different (I will email them to you), I'm a fan of a couple! I like the Billy Hamilton pick as NL ROY; if his bat can even be average and he develops a patient approach, or at least enough to get on base, then yeah, he will be DANGEROUS! Btw...thank's for the shout out on Facebook! Baseball is back my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe guy is fast as all hell. Stole 75 bases last year, 155 in total in the minor leagues. Minor league .350 OBP. He was solid in the 13 games he played for the Reds last year i think he's going to have a good year.
