Evan Gattis - Fact or Fiction?

[Chef99]

Mack from CNN/SI calls him "a modern-day Kevin Maas".

And that is a perfect example of a backhanded compliment.

 

[TREFF]

Kevin Maas??? geesh, after only three weeks, I'd bet a paycheck Gattis has a better, and longer, career than Maas.

It could have been worse. They could have compared him to Chris Shelton.

Nice try. However, Taylor never made the bigs. If you want a better analogy, I think Herb Score

Or Mark "The Bird" Fidrych

Would have fit the bill better.

JMO, of course.

Heh...I read somewhere that Chris Davis already has the market cornered on Sheltonitis.

I disagree. I think Davis is for real, and that he just needed the playing time, like he is now getting in Baltimore, to show his talents. He was blocked for a few years while still in Texas, but if not, I think we would be seeing a few seasons of success by him now, and would not be thinking of him "as a Shelton".

Yeah, that was kind of a tongue-in-cheek comment...Davis could easily end up being this year's draft bargain. 40 HR's? Possibly.

 

[BigDDude]

He has the power to do it, and no longer has Mark Reynolds to cut into his playing time, so,......, I think yes.

Not a good sign when a guy with a lot of power gets blocked at 1B by Mitch Moreland...something is seriously wrong then.
