Alex Bregman called up...... for real!

Lance looks like he loves trash metal. He'd fit in great at a Sepultura show.

Correa needs to quit wearing his girlfriends pants.

Alex looks like, chill brah. You got some Sublime and Jager Bombs?

 

He was up before Correa if I recall correctly.

I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a baseball game in July. Sweet Moses this team is going to be fun to watch.

 

First I've seen of Bregman getting a 45 fielding grade. But a 70 hit, 60 power, 65 FV is pretty sweet.

 

Considering he won't be playing SS much anytime soon, I don't think you can really grade him.

 

If he's at 3B, I have seen a couple of 55s and one 60 on his glove. Main plus is that he can play multiple positions adequately.

 

So if he's slotting in at 6 tonight, who's batting 2nd?

 

Valbuena? If I recall correctly he hit second a few games earlier this month.

 

Seems like a lot of prospect bombing this year with Reed, Urias, Giolito, and Glasnow.

 

Makes sense not to rush him into the second spot, although that is where he'd see the best pitches considering Altuve and Correa follow.

I don't mind it. Valbuena takes the walks when given and sets the table for Tuve and Correa. Who bats 5th I wonder.

 

So ideal line-up of the future is...

Springer
Bregman
Altuve
Correa
Valbuena
Gattis-DH
Rasmus
Gomez
Castro

 

Don't forget about Gurriel

 

Reed did not bomb. He just wasn't given the AB's needed to adjust to ml pitching.

 

Nope. You can take either Rasmus, Gattis, or Gomez out of there, and replace them with Gurriel.

 

Literally got to work early today just so I can leave an hour early to beat this LA traffic and get home in time to see his first AB.

 

Urias is 19 and has a 3.31 FIP across his first 9 starts. BTW, the #1 prospect was Corey Seager, and he was an all-star (definitely deserved).

All of those guys are just starting their careers, and I'd hardly say they bombed.

 

It's too bad that Altuve was an UTR prospect that didn't have a top number "reserved" for him.

We could/should be looking at:
1 - Correa
2 - Bregman
3 - Altuve?
4 - Springer
5 - Retired
6 - Cameron/K. Tucker (after Marisnick moves on)
7 - Retired
