Yordan at 21 was a terrible outfielder, after a couple of surgeries, will never consistently play out there again. First base? Ah, don't think so.

The guy at 23 runs like he had 30. I'd be surprised if he is still in the league at 30. As they get older, knee problems become low back problems, which will lose bat speed and power. When that happens, game over.

You actually have watched games? Or is this sattire?

Edit to add: I don't agree with the take of "terrible outfielder". He has less than a handful of games out there, so it seems unfair to put that tag on him. Watching games, he runs well for a big man. I am a biased Astros and Yordan fan, to clarify!
