Texas vs Stanton (his homers are the only reason to watch)

If he added around 10-15 pounds a muscle that's pretty awesome. Just glad he didn't get fat and out of shape.

Yes sir.

Any of you seen Profar lately? He's HUGE. Not the Neftali Feliz kind of huge either...he used his lost season to get ripped.

I saw that when they first showed him taking grounders, but not throwing, he looked very thick through the shoulders and chest

They always said that if that happened his long term position might end up being 3B

Nothing wrong with that.

I didn't realize his fielding and speed scored that high.

Now he projects as Dan Uggla-esque on defense and in the future maybe a Casey McGehee type

His speed proejcts in the Jason Kubel territory

Neither is very good

Actually 50 is league average, at best he projects to be an average defender

Which is why Corner OF spot is the most logical spot. The big arm can make up for crummy defense. Just pair him with a good CF and it should be okay.

Agreed, just making sure that Romeo knows that its 1st number = current & 2nd number = future/potential

Not that he gets 45 out of 50 points on defense

My fantasy team is fucked now. That guy was pitching like an ace this year. I didn't think I was gonna win the league anyway, but now my chances are shot.
