While many of the highlights from Wednesday’s action are going to be of great pitching performances (and there were plenty), there were some sweet hitting performances as well. Most notably, we've got Francisco Lindor who continued to show the world why he's one of the most exciting talents in all of baseball. Dude had a line of 3-4, 2 HR, 3 R, 5 RBI, 1 SB, including one of those home runs being a grand slam. The guy is just a stud, there's no other way to describe it, and the craziest thing is, he's still only 23, so while last year was a great year for him, this year could be even better if you can believe that.
Let’s take a look at some of the other highlights from Wednesday:
Would you drop Dyson or DeShields for Owings at this point? Looking for steals obviously.
Or is Kiermaier a better pick-up?
I’d take Kiermaier over all three of them, but Owings is last in that group in my opinion.
I’d rank it:
Kiermaier
Dyson
DeShields
Owings
Hey Ben,
What’s your thoughts on Travis Shaw’s little hot streak to begin the season? (5/12, 2 R, 5 RBIs, and 1 HR)
I’d say he did the same thing last year (.292 average with seven home runs in March/April/May) and he tailed off, which he’ll do again (.207 average with nine home runs the rest of the season).
I’m not particularly buying it.
Owings stole 2 bags, not 1
