Dunn with 50 SB’s, and I didn’t realize how fast Jorge is until I just read he picked up his 32nd SB. It seems as if we have several good hitters with some wheels. It should make for some fun teams to watch in the near future.
I might be more impressed with Sal Stewart’s 14 steals.
Doug you might check the Heatherly listing above.
What, he didn’t get an RBI?
Yikes.
Johnson could work on more hits for the lookouts, but has been really fun to see him making some big plays in the outfield.. interested to see what’s happens on the off-season and where he’ll be playing (team and position).
Dunn is an absolute beast. The power the kid has is unbelievable. Super fun year to watch
Developing kids like Johnson, Urbaez, Quintana and Miguel Hernandez us just good practice. One, every team needs utility players who are solid. Two, teams lacking this type of depth will trade for it. And while they may not be elite, they are assets. I’ve always liked Ivan Johnson, and the power he’s shown in a partial season, coming off injury, is impressive.
I when did the value of getting on base die.
Or having a great bb to walk rate die.
Those values of sabr have died.
