    What kind of odds would you give or take: more HR or errors on the year?

    Alex Bregman will start at 3B and hit 2nd.

    That was about the most Musgrove inning possible.

    Bregman just set up a guy who throws triple digits for a fastball.

    Gets the fast ball and lines it in gap for a XBH.

    Bring him up.

    Our prospects look like they should be in the big show.

    That was pretty impressive. Reyes throws major gas.

    Keep in mind it was an inside out swing at 97mph on the inside corner.

    Bregman has been unreal. HR short of the cycle now during the Futures game

    Love Bregman.
    He's a funny "cocky" too. I like it

    He seriously has nothing else to prove at the plate.

    I don't know if he is ready to be the every day third baseman, but I think it is definitely worth the risk.

    "Every day third baseman defensively" I meant...
