I'm with you on the Scottsdale lineup. The first one has a fair amount of #2 toward the bottom although it does have three MLB All-Stars in it. I DON'T KNOW!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE I LIKE!!!!!!!! *goes blind masturbating*

Rizzo, Montero, Fowler are locks from Mesa. Bryant, Scwharber, Soler are locks from Scottsdale. Russell over Castro? I think no, today, but eventually, yes. Baez is watch and see.
When Starlin Castro was Addison Russell's age, he already had like 400 major-league hits and was an All-Star.
My point, of course, is that Addison Russell is a bust.

That's pretty awesome.
However, that slider to Baez was terrible, even if he was thinking exactly the correct amount.

The slider was definitely a hanger, but still a testament to Baez' ridiculous raw power that he took a pitch in that location waaaay out past the left field bleachers. Lord knows how many he'll ever actually connect on, but god they look pretty when he does.
Bryant with 2 dongblasts & a ground-rule double double that flew over the CF's head, Soler with a dong and a 2-RBI hustling double and Russell went 3-for-3.
It all seems like too much good stuff too soon, like I need to pinch myself.
Breathe.
Travis Wood threw strikes. Nice to see that again.

It's not as if anyone else cares enough about Matt Sczczur's stats to actually look them up. It seems like if you want to have Matt Sczczur talk, you ought to bring everything to the table yourself. I'm pretty sure the spelling of that guy's name is made up. It's arrogant and I'm not spending another second on that dude (||).

I do enjoy that spring training stats are meaningless when you're discussing Matt Szczur and Mike Olt (because of course those guys suck it's just spring training folks), not even mentioned when discussing Addison Russell, and yet proof positive that Kris Bryant is ready to win league MVP's and it's a crime against humanity if he doesn't start opening day.

Not to mention Anthony Rizzo is a fucking stiff coming off a career year.
