think jose altuve. short guy that has a knack of hitting. dont have the power as altuve is showing right now but has a good eye at the plate (22 k's 20 bbs and a .410 OBP in AAA right now). Defense in CF needs work but he can also play 2B if need be. Best tools are his hit tool and speed.
Not entirely . But he hasn't made enough adjustments ... And his command has slipped . He needs to regain that command to pitch well again .
Would you slot him batting first in the order and move altuve to three to get altuve more rbi opportunities or would you altuve at leadoff and slot Kemp elsewhere
2nd behind altuve. move everyone down a spot. 2b altuve cf kemp rf springer ss correa lf rasmus 1b white 3b valbuena dh gonzalez c castro
Thanks Htown for the input on Kemp. Is it kuechel losing command or more of the umps squeezing him, cuz I've watched a few of his starts this and can remember saying a lot "what was wrong with that pitch"

We've always needed that make contact kinda guy to hit behind altuve runner on third and one out is always better than runner on second and one out in my book
Shoooot if he's way better than altuve bring him the minute he's eligible if he still falls under super 2
No, and he admitted as much after he went on the obscure rant about Carlos Gomez' caught stealing that never happened. Says he doesn't waste much time on the team... Yet will post 100x a day (more after losses) to prove it.
Things like Fier's no hitter was a fluke. A whole season of dominance is not. A combination of several things added together is probably the answer. Hitters adjusting being one of them.
If kemp is the one coming this is my lineup: 1 Altuve 2b 2 gonzalez 1b 3 correa Ss 4 Rasmus rf 5 springer cf 6 valbuena 3b 7 Gattis/white dh 8 Castro c 9 kemp LF
Just hope he can make the proper adjustments and get back on the winning side of things cuz last year when it was his turn in the rotation I could whole heartedly say oh we got this and this year there's isn't a single pitcher I feel comfortably going into a game with
Whoa You called me a racist You know nothing about me, you don't even know what color I am So no bro, you aren't Mr Inocent You also call players on the team "idiots" and "horrible" What makes them different than a person who posts on this board? We are all people, have your views all you want that's cool But quit trying to make yourself out as a great guy when you call people all kinds of names and you don't know any of them personally
