Pitchers won't have an issue coming into the zone to challenge him. I could see .360ish OBP (still very solid), but not much higher than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Patriot 27 Posted August 11, 2018 Where does everyone see his outlook in terms of an overall dynasty ranking? Mixed/OBP.  Seems to have all the tools at 25 I would think top 100 potential but curious to see the thoughts of the forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen him just outside the top 100 in one obp dynasty ranking Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slatykamora 2,535 Posted August 11, 2018 I don't buy him being much more than 10 SB a year.  Too many of his outcomes end in K or BB. So cumulative HR total isn't going to get much above 20s. He doesn't have the lighttower power needed. Its just above average when healthy. The super patient types end up with higher K% rates then their contact ability would normally indicate because how much more often they get deep in a count. Unless they have a great 2 strike approach.  .240-270 BA, 18-26 HR, 70-100 R, 8-14 SB, 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MireLurker 285 Posted August 16, 2018 Mets are on a very favourable road trip - lots of hitters parks, lots of righties. (I streamed Frazier). The ride may slow down next week at home against a few lefties. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
