Yet, he trails Seager in OPS.

I miss him, too.

Seager is having a quiet great season.

Seager is having a quiet great season.

Yes he is.

I would like to send my condolences to the fans of the rest of the league. The Rangers selected Wyatt Langford so pretty much game over for the next couple of decades for you guys.

Not worried at all. He probably pees sitting down.

You kind of have to with a bat that big.

I tuned in to the MLB draft for a few minutes and they've done a really good job copying the format and atmosphere of NFL and NBA drafts. Normally MLB drafts were pretty dry and straightforward.

Based on my limited look-in, ESPN's done a good job with this year's draft.

Let me tell you what makes that even worse -- HE'S NOT EVEN OF CUBAN DESCENT.

His dad, which everyone knows who that is, is Dominican.

He was born in Montreal to Dominican parents.

Whoever put up that graphic at ESPN should be fired.

 

[Rev]

And his father is Dominican not cuban.

I'm honestly surprised this hasn't happened more often.

The Dominican has put out some fun players to watch. Vlad. Beltre. Now De La Cruz.

Watching those kids in the outfield of these events always reminded me of when we'd play 500 as a kid. Constantly jostling for position, trying to make the catch. Yep, we took a few flies/liners to the chops, too. Along with a few well placed elbows.

For my money, best pound for pound baseball players come from there and Cuba.

Think of the early to mid 2000s -- Vlad Sr., Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Pedro Martinez, Adrian Beltre, etc.

Just insane how good those players are that come from there.

Yup.

That's how I took a pop fly right to the forehead when I was 13 years old.

And we weren't out there trying to field shots being hit by all-world players. Again, I'm very surprised we haven't seen more of this over the years during the derby with all those kids out there.
