It's probably just me but I'm excited to see what this kid looks like after spending time at the Cape. He's an A-Rod looking guy at 3rd base right now but looks like a power hitting First Baseman to me. Dude looks like a future beast waiting to be unleashed.

If he tweaks his swing just a little bit more he will be putting them over the fence every swing.

I know it's a low sampling (42 ab's) but he's got more strike outs than both hits or RBI's and he's the next A-Rod? He wiffs every 3rd ab

Just like most JUCOs, they typically pan out and make a jump in their second year. I never expected much from him this season. I'm glad he's getting some at-bats because it'd be great if he'd give us some power and stability in the middle of the order next year. Mangum, Stovall, McNamee and Bragg could make a pretty good top of the order for us.

If you watch his swings in slo mo, on the two HR's he has hit, it is very similar to Rooker's. Same height approxamately as well.

When I watch him bat, it looks like he has poor plate coverage. I wish he would move 2 or 3 inches closer to the plate. Looks like he struggles with outside pitches.

Big fan of his upside long term

But I'm more of a fan of what he showed with the glove this weekend.

Replacing Stovall is going to be rough. You have to replace more than his numbers. Any weight Bragg is able to pull at 3b allowing LA to stay at 2nd and Cody in LF will be welcomed. He had a good week at the plate too.

Losing Stovall in the 9 spot will limit the times we roll our lineup over with someone on base. Rooker in the two spot batting behind Mangum and Stovall was becoming deadly. We need Mangum to get on base. I thought he made solid contact at times this week but he didn't get any breaks.

He's not going to the Cape as of now. A team could pick him up between now and the start of the Cape season though.

As far as I know it's Barlow, Stovall, Alexander, and Mangum that are listed on rosters right now for us.

Yeah my post was

sort of rhetorical. I don't think halestater understands the summer ball process. I'm not saying he won't go, but he isn't, as of today (unless I missed the announcement).

Smh he's not A-Rod. I said he's an A-Rod looking guy as far as body size and being a big 3rd baseman. That would be a Bobby C type comment if I said he was the next A-Rod.

The Cape/ Summer Ball whatever. You're right I don't understand how it works. I don't get into it that much outside of baseball season bc the better sport takes over in college football. They go off somewhere and usually come back better is all I care about. I don't give a **** where. I think he has potential and I'm excited about the kid. He may suck *** next year but I think if he gets some solid coaching on his swing he can be a stud.

He looks like a future cleanup guy to me. I'm excited to see how he develops.

I don't expect Mangum back next year.
