Tucker in RF?!?!

God help you, Mr. Devenski, because your defense sure won't.

Tucker and Kemp in the OF? Can we please just park Marisnick in CF and leave him there.

Gattis has let a lot of balls get between his legs lately.

Gattis is so strong. He had no business putting the ball on the other side of the fence with that lunging hack.

This may go without saying but if Kemp can consistently get on base at the bottom of the order, boy would that do wonders for the offense.

I still can't get over how much Devenski's stature and moves looks like Brandon Backe.

Yeah, all the Correa doubters should take notice of a shot like that: special power potential.  He looks exceptional for someone of his age and experience.

You know you hit it far when you hit it dead center and the CFer barely moves.

I don't think there's a single "Correa doubter" on this site. Just people with different ceiling projections. I'm glad he's on this team!

Doubting is relative. I consider viewing his ceiling as merely "a better than average player" as a doubter.

This recent slump and reawakening today clearly seems to be about you. Any travel plans before November?...

If he gets better there will be the "Mendoza line" at .200 and the "Altuve line" at .350

A couple more weeks of interesting baseball is still better than what I expected after April. I'm not greedy, I'll take it.
