Bottom line. Who is the comp?

Fred McGriff?

Houseofcard · 04-22-2025, 07:02 PM

Heard Jim thome and I see it. Big shoes there but has the skill set to be that.

winstead · 04-22-2025, 07:05 PM

Upside: Jim Thome/Ryan Howard

Downside: Greg Bird

JohnnyHatesJazz · 04-22-2025, 09:44 PM

Announcers called him kurtzy.

Agreed and I can see him potentially being the big debut patch chase for chrome update.

Absolutely. Him and Roki will be the big ones right now. Can’t wait to see how he does tonight.

winstead · 04-23-2025, 10:54 AM

Curious to see where they stick him in the lineup tonight. I assume it's going to be 6-8 somewhere, but would awesome if they just stuck him at 3 or 5. Either way going to be fun to watch this lineup come together.

Rotowire has him projected in the 5th spot.

+900 home run odds. That won't last long but if you are a betting man, that price is fantastic.

I don't really gamble, but that is tempting. They are in that little league stadium tonight too.

winstead · 04-23-2025, 12:43 PM

A little league stadium for 5 against TX and CWS no less...

If he hits a few HRs his cards are going to moon even more so than they have already which is saying something. The number of ebay listings/transaction wrt his Bowman 1st auto in the past 48 hours has been manic. Base autos have gone from essentially $100 to $225. Everything getting snapped up.

Yeah, they have to be extra careful to leave a pause in Mike Hunt's name.

MGM. Already down to +575 though. But my brother said Hard Rock is +800. Shop around a bit for the best line.

Draftkings is +800

JohnnyHatesJazz · 04-23-2025, 09:26 PM

The Big Kurtz Strikes!

NYRE2PECT · 04-23-2025, 09:26 PM

RBI Single for the kid in his first AB.

JWBlue · 04-23-2025, 09:59 PM

His swing reminds me of Freddie Freeman's. Both 6'5".

lbailey · 05-24-2025, 08:05 AM

He’s heating up…
