    I don't think he's an ace. He's playing like one this year and that's what matters but an ace is someone who has an elite skillset that has pitched 220+ innings in recent seasons. Consistency over multiple seasons is very important.

    I just find Sano to be a very difficult to predict hitter. He has 80 power, he has great pitch recognition and plate discipline. Those things are great. He also really struggles to make contact. His K% was sky high last year and so was his BABIP. The thing is, he hits the ball as hard as anyone not named Stanton, he uses all fields pretty well and he has a good line drive rate. The BABIP will inevitably come down but I think he'll keep it pretty high.

    I've seen Buxton's hit tool praised plenty of times. When Buxton was first drafted I remember John Sickels being a bit wary about his hit tool but those concerns soon vanished in 2013. I'm not sure its the hit tool more so than the pitch recognition and approach.

    Most of the measures where Adam Brett Walker has Max Kepler beat are because he played 21 more games in AA than Max Kepler did. There is something to be said about actually being on the field and playing every day but Kepler spent some time in high A before going to AA. Kepler's OBP and OPS are so much higher than Walker's that I can see the case for favoring them over what you mentioned.

    Sano has a higher extrapolated WAR than Correa at this point and that's while being penalized for playing DH. I think Sano deserves some real consideration.

    You know, the BABIP does seem unsustainable but at the same time his hard hit ball percentage is ridiculous, best in the league, and the only one close is Stanton. He also hits a lot more line drives than Stanton does, MIguel is 8th in the league in line drive rate. I think if he can maintain the really high hard hit ball percentage and the line drive rate I think he has a chance to post a BABIP that we've rarely seen.

    The first pitch wasn't a strike. The second pitch was a very good slider that hit the corner of the zone at the very end. The third pitch was iffy, he probably should have fouled it off though.

    This umpire is absolutely terrible.
  11. Turd Furgeson
    No Correa or Sano? That's disappointing.

    Looking at Hicks monthly splits I'm starting to lose confidence in his resurgence. He had a 1.000 OPS in July but a .600 OPS in August and of course still the extreme lefty/righty splits. I do think it will be Hicks and Kepler that end up fighting for one of the corner outfield spots next year if Kepler can keep improving off of this great season he's having.

    It's more evidence that not all scouts are the same and that its very difficult to predict the future.

    LOL thanks.
