But hes not as of now. I think he will be great, but hes batting .237 through 7 games in 1-A. With 10-2 SO to BB.


He’s batting .333 after today, but the SO to BB can definitely improve

explain why it’s such an abhorrent opinion that most spots on American baseball teams be reserved for Americans?

Because Americans are supposed to try and be better than that. We don't have to be xenophobic and racist. We can host things like "the World Series" because we can celebrate great players even when they don't come from our own country. I mean, we could be hypocritical bigots and keep out the other people and still call it "the World Series", but why would we?

Its meritocracy. Mens sports are reserved for the best, it has nothing to do with diversity.

The only thing wrong with wanting USA born players in the league is you lose quality. Thats it.

Need to send him to Wilmington. That’ll be a great test for him.

Due to years of service type shite that he could accrue. Would get him to arbitration years faster I believe. All about the dollars unfortunately.




they've changed some of these rules recently, fwiw. More prospects are coming up due to incentives they've built in.

Even with that said, if Crews is as good as we think he will be, he will probably get a new contract long before he is set for arbitration.

A racist, a nerd, and a 5th grader walked into a bar ... and turned out to be the same guy.

You’d get to watch guys develop in college and then play in real games more quickly instead of getting mired in minor league hell.


Do you think only Americans go to college in the US?
