He is similar to guys like Joc Pederson and George Springer in that he is a power/speed combo, low average/high strikeout guy. I don't think he is as good as either of those two but that isn't meant as a slight. I was fully aware of who he was when that trade for Myers went down (because I'm a baseball ) and I believe at the time of the trade I said that Souza had a strong chance to put up numbers at least comparable to Myers.

I think his average will improve as the season goes on. He started the season hot and then hit a major slump. At one time, I think he had 7 consecutive ab's that resulted in a K. But he's reduced those in the last 2 weeks and he's back on the rise.

Take this Souza stuff out of the Joey Gallo thread.

I will forgive this for 2 weeks. Then take your Gallo talk to the AAA Chatter Thread.

Chi Chi Gonzales with a complete game 3-hitter last night. He is kicking ass and has a cool name. :towel

Twins @ Rangers this weekend.

It will be so awesome winning this series while jumping over the Astros for first place in the division.

It's the beginning of the Carlos Correa era, all bow in respect. :towel

This a great year for rookie Phenoms interesting to see how it shakes out by years end.

Looks like the Astros are all in the have called up 5 top prospects so far this year.

@ the Rangers using the #4 overall pick on a pitcher half the teams believe is a future reliever. Enjoy your poor man's Alexi Ogando.

I will take it. Just a weak draft and besides the other half believe he is a starter.

Evan Grant ‏@Evan_P_Grant 3m3 minutes ago Todd Guggiana, #Rangers area scout who recommended Dillon Tate, was also guy who scouted Joey Gallo.

Rays took a HS OF at 13. Don't know much about him, but when commentators are asking "Is it fair to compare him to Mike Trout?", ya I'll take that.

E_D_Guapo · Jun 8, 2015

Cubs took a switch hitting college OF (though versatile since he can also play 2B/3B) who, according to what I've been reading, has good all-around tools & excellent plate discipline/high OBP skills. Kris Bryant & Kyle Schwarber are their last two first round picks. They both destroyed the minors (Schwarber is still in the process) & Bryant has already shown serious skills at the MLB level. Going to go ahead & assume this kid Ian Happ that they just took is going to be able to play.

Minnesota is the clear winner in the draft so far. They've picked 3-4 future HOFers already.

Does anyone on here actually dislike their teams picks? Sounds like there may be 30 all time greats in this draft.

I don't know about 30, but there's definitely 11.

10 taken by the Rays and the Rangers' 7th rounder.

Interesting read on all the high prospects being called up.

Flores has been a whipping boy for me based on his defense, but he is starting to play better D and is really coming on offensively.

Rev · Jun 13, 2015

Maybe next time, Twins.
