If hype is .265, 25 2B, 14 HR and .780 OPS, then yes. He can live up to the hype.
Joe Musgrave spring training is a little concerning, he hasn't gotten out the 1st of inning in both starts. 1.2 innings 5 hits 8 runs 0 K
Remember when Tommy Medica had that amazing spring? Like the best in the whole spring out of any player. And he did nothing.
I'd say having a good spring while being a huge focus of attention and teammates praising his attitude and plate approach while learning a new position is something. He's done everything expected of him and excelled thus far.
I think he get sent back down he still needs time
Now that the Giants have signed Chapman, 4th place in the NL West is looking pretty legit.
Padres dropped the ball game 1
Joe musgrove is not fighting for a spot lol. I expect Jackson to have a good start but once the book gets written he will struggle and the key to his success is if he finds the adjustment. Kind of like Jake . pictures started figuring him out and he's still trying to make the adjustment.
The Merill overgrazing from the Padres is just an excuse for CUNTspenda to not spend any money. I love Merill but he hasn’t even played a game in AAA and is only 20
