    Bregman is going to be really good.

    Every team we've played, their announcers have been incredibly impressed with Bregman at 3B, as they should.

    What player does Bregman remind y'all of? I don't really like the Pedroia comparison...seems to be a lazy comp given their size, and Bregman already seems to be a better and more versatile fielder/ stronger arm/ more power.

    Honestly, I see a little Jose Vidro, but I'm sure there are better comparisons out there. Dude has a rope at third.

    I did not expect Breg to be this great at 3rd this quickly, like it's been his natural position since day one.

    The closer role is a mystery. Doesn't appear the team has a lights out closer atm.

    I think he's safe, but not sure if they can overturn. Can you overturn a "tie"?

    Wow, I guess not

    That 2-1 slider was the most unhittable pitch you'll ever see.
