Lorenzo Cain is so good I cant believe he's ranked so low, Pollock too was looking incredible before he missed all of last year basically. I like George alot but he strikes out so much, I like Cain so much bc he really doesnt strike out much. He was so big in their big playoff push, I just dread george coming to bat in key situations, he's a great hitter but moving guys over is so key and strikeouts really hurt.

He is so streaky with his approach too. When he stops trying to smash the ball and simply goes with the pitch, he is as good as anyone (Altuve and Trout not included).

Seems like he gets on a hot streak and then changes his approach to "George Smash". When that happens, his K rate soars and the ball doesn't.

So, that brings me to a new topic. I've been of the mindest (quite vocally) for the past 2+ seasons that it's long past time for Dave Hudgens to go. It seems like every star prospect takes a serious step back (more than expected) when he hits the majors.

Somehow, Bregman was able to turn it around. And Altuve is the best hitter in baseball.

So are those two guys successful despite Hudgens, or are the new guys just failing on their own?

I'd hate to remove Hudgens from the equation if that means Altuve regresses. But I truly believe he is successful despite Hudgens, not because of.
