Javier Baez 2014 ROY-MVP-World Series MVP Thread
« on: February 21, 2014, 03:41:43 PM »
Wheeeeee!


QuoteProspect Javier Baez displayed an impressive power show during batting practice. Baez, who hit 37 home runs last season at Class-A Daytona and Double-A Tennessee, hit several home runs that cleared the 40-foot netting behind the left field fence at one practice field.

One of Baez's drives apparently smashed the window of a car parked between the field and Cubs Way.

"I heard a sound, and it was glass," said infielder Logan Watkins, who was shagging balls in the outfield. "The rumors are true (about Baez's power).''

As usual the well informed Trib commenters are classic.  "Replace Schierholtz with Baez"
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

Ah yes those rumors or as we laypeople call them "last year's statistics"

The Smash-o-Meter is up to two. He broke some guy's window with another dong.

Step 1-- Ricketts family quietly purchases Chicago window makers
Step 2-- Bring Baez up.
Step 3-- Let him hit batting practice.
Step 4-- Profit from Rooftop owners until high replacement costs, inability to obtain homeowners insurance cause them to sell to the Ricketts family realitively.


Theo has everything convered, doesn't he?

This reminds me of when Shaq was a rookie and he kept "breaking" backboards and bringing down entire basket supports. Clearly David Stern made sure the baskets were going to break during Shaq's games, and now that he's retired from the NBA he's probably doing the same gimmick for baseball.

Nike's R&D team better get working on the new Air Baez prototypes.

Olt also drove in a 3rd run with another well-hit ball.

Sploosh.

MIKE OLT! is still racking up the Ks, but he's looking like he might make the roster.
