All it takes to meme is one bad day.

That seems more reasonable. Since the winter we've seen bouncebacks from Castro and Rizzo, further awesomeness from Bryant, development from Alcantara, Arrieta looking like a long-term rotation piece and maybe most importantly, some indication that the team will spend in the offseason.

I just think I'm a bit more of a realist about the transition from the minors to the big-league level than some people, which makes me appear negative by comparison. For example, when I compared Kris Bryant to Troy Glaus and Pen got annoyed because he wanted Bryant comped to Mike effing Schmidt. That's overly rosy, no matter how much you love Bryant.

Best of all, it's not shitty winter anymore.

Troy Glaus numbers in today's NL would be a garden hose of splooge left on overnight and sending all the earthworms out onto the driveway to perish in the morning sun. In other words, sign me up.

Are we sure there's a difference between Glaus and Schmidt anyway?

And since Bryant is at 71%, that means he's close to 2x as good. Nice, Epstink

Kris Bryant is a common Mark Reynolds. Everyone should kill themselves now.

He's exactly like Reynolds only with an OBP over 100 points higher.

QuoteHe actually outperformed Alvarez (.355/.458/.702 vs. .333/.419/.590) during their respective 60-game turns in Double-A despite being one year younger.

This gives me hope that he might do a better job of making more contact and getting on base than Alvarez does.

I think Alvarez makes way more sense for Baez than Bryant. I mean, Bryant is a white guy.
