re: Crews a bust?

As someone that has watched almost every Rangers game this year, I can tell you that Wyatt has had his lunch money taken on a LOT of at bats. MLB pitching is unlike any other thing on this earth...you can't take for granted just how good and nasty those dudes are. Langford is all go go go, and it is fun to watch, he is and will be a stud. But he has had terrible stretches as well.

Crews and Langford will both play in multiple all-star games. Not everyone comes out looking like Juan Soto right away.

Absolutely too early.

For example Matt Shaw with the Cubs started the season in the majors, he was a first round pick for the Cubs, not as high a pick as Crews but he was one of the Cub's top prospects and rose up through the ranks quickly. This was his first taste of the major and his first 70 at bats did not go well.

Sent him down and brought him back a month later and in about in the 17 games since being back up he's hitting .327.

I could give you dozens of other examples, but Shaw is one - he's talented - but Crews is more talented. Give it some time.

you mean his first 6 games? His rookie season (49 games) he hit .264/.313/..478. Crews would love those numbers at this point.

---

It took him 6 games to get his first hit.

It took him 22 games to get above .200

Crews hit .247 in May with 5 HRs and 20 RBIs

You fahgots are the exact same ones who gave up on Jones and Shores this season.

I'll say the exact same thing about Bregman as I did about Jared Jones- his talent is undeniable. I'll bet on him and bookmark this thread

We can say Bregman has had a solid MLB career without jumping to this

MLB HoF is ridiculously hard to get into.

I exaggerated but he's a good glove winner, multiple time all star, World Series champion.

But I member dudes on this board calling him a bust right when he started his MLB career too.

I remember him going on with Mascona and that bitches first question to him was "why did you suck early?"

Bregman sounded legitimately confused like "I gave you this interview motherfricker snd you're going to insult me"

Crews had played in more games than Bregman, so obviously bigger sample size when you are talking 6 games. It took Bregman to get to .200 and after that he never sniffed .200 again that season. Crews is 70+ games into his career. Still to early to say bust but Corbin Carroll, Jackson Merrill and others have raised expectations for many of these young players.
Also when did Crews hit .247 with 5 home runs in May? He hit .167 with 3 home runs. For his career his best month is August (5 games played) where he hit .286/.318/.667 outside of that he hasn't hit over .215 for his career over any month.

What Crews has on his side is that he is a plus defender with speed and pop. When he comes back from IL (he isn't swinging a bat yet) he will be back in the lineup as Hassell and Young haven't lit the world on fire and Crews offers more pop than either.

He was improving. It takes time to adjust to MLB pitching.

---

That’s an understatement. He was leading all rookies with 7 HRs at the time & he had just hit one 2 games in a row.

OP is just an uninformed troll. It’s not a coincidence he signed up for a TD account on 6/21/23 as we eliminated Wake Forest

quote:

He's a below average player on a horrible team. He won't see the majors again.

---

Couldn’t even make it two pages before outing yourself.

Never said he should hang it up, but he was frequently compared to Wyatt Langford and as yet Langford is a far better overall player. Players have slumps but Crews couldn't do shite with MLB pitching this season.

Holy shite this is an odd take.

Wyatt Langford has 47 Hits in 207 ABs with 11 HRs and 26 RBIs and 11 Stolen bases. In 55 games.

While Crews has 31 hits in 158 ABs with 7 HRs and 15 RBs and 11 stolen bases in 45 games.

And it is no debate who is better as a defender. Now lets look a little closer.

In the last 25 games Crews was hitting 17/84 over .200 with 4 HRs and 5 stolen bases and 8 walks. He was starting to put it together. Wyatt was in the MLB for the better portion last year so he had a significant head start to get used to the game. But in Wyatt's last 25 games hes 19/97 for below .200 with 5 HRs 12 RBIs and 4 stolen bases with 9 walks.

Wyatt is not the far better player. He is a better power hitter even though Crews is not far behind him in that category but I would take Crews as an overall player even right now. He is better defensively by a mile which is the separator.

In April he hit that, not May.

Here's the stats

He had a higher average and more home runs than Juan Soto in April.

Y'all seem to want to shite on Crews and idgaf. I think the kids going to be a stud, one of us will be right and one of us will be wrong.
