    How many innings has he actually played? Too little a sample size to write a 22 year old off for life, I would guess.

    Agreed... but the guy is 6'5 250 (conservatively measuring).... just not the ideal body type for anything other than 1B, and we all know that you can't just put anybody at 1B.

    Also, I still stand by the fact that we've been clamoring for a true DH for years... they finally have one.

    If only they saw him play in the minors.. or in ST.... oh wait...

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with him being an everyday DH. Most elite/championship teams from the AL have had one.

    What’s Cory Booker doing at the plate for the Astros?

    Yeah but it's you calling him awful, not them.

    Yordan's bat is so good, would hate to trade him.

    That's why Brantley is a professional hitter. Good Eye Uncle Mike!

    Yes, I've watched him play LF this year... I don't think he's been back there since.

    He was awful.

    Correa enters this AB with zero career Salamis.

    ETA- and exits with zero... and didn't reach base either.

    I'd have guessed 2, even with all of his missed time, he's had PLENTY of bases full opportunities in his career.
