    Pop up for Puma, Garza is a tough customer.

    I went from highly skeptical about Wade to mildly skeptical to neutral to slightly pro-Wade.

    Not that it matters what I think but that's been the progression for me.

    I'm feeling more and more optimistic about the future with him in charge.

    I still won't go as far as to say that I think he's the best GM out there or anything but I am learning not to believe all the stat freaks all the time.

    I'm cool with Onhell but man, is he slow for a SS of his age.

    Good hands, fundamentally sound but slow. He doesn't have much range.

    He looks like a good athlete until you see him run.

    Speaking of running, Brett Wallace runs sort of like a fat Hunter Pence... with his arms kind of straight and pointing downwards.

    Hopefully, nothing long-term for big dollars.

    To bad he didn't pitch like this all season, he might have been in a pennant race tonight.

    Gonna throw in my Conspiracy Theory.

    It all started in the warm summer of 2008, Lance Berkman was raking he even was even mentioned as a possible Triple Crown Canidate, then suddenly

    BAM! These Fartknockers show up and Berkman steeply declines after the All-Star Break and continues to suck into 2009/2010

    Now we have "Bourns Cougars"

    I'm a die hard fan but seriously....

    Yea, just double-checked... definitely has the Pence style running technique.

    The kid is built like a tree though.

    That collision at first would have been earth rattling, Walrus is a big dude but Prince is well.....a big boy.

    lol... Wallarrace

    He's built like a tank. His first collision at home plate will be fun to see.

    Castro!!

    He's hit to all fields in this game. The one to CF was an out. The other 2 were hits.

    Edit: Except that that was CJ. Fail.

    Castro his has hit to left and center so far.

    As far as CJ, keep racking up those XBHs and you'll be around here for a while.

    I'm going with the Wallarrace. I'm fairly sure he has among the thickest builds in all of baseball. No homo.
