[Heim]

Any opinion who got the best of the trade with the White Sox?

NL MVP front runner so far....kid has only played in 100 games.

Traded to the Padres at age 17 before ever playing a professional game.

Arizona Diamondbacks broadcaster and former MLB manager Bob Brenly offered a controversial comment about Fernando Tatis, Jr. last season.

Brenly cracked, "He'd run faster if he didn't wear a bike chain around his neck."

Brenly is 66, Tatis, Jr. is 21.

 

[John Kelly]

Brenly is American, Tatis, Jr. is Dominican.

His dad was a pretty good hitter also.

His dad was a pretty good hitter also.

His Dad hit two grand slams in the same inning back in 1999...

His Dad hit two grand slams in the same inning back in 1999...

Good memory.

The grand slams came off Chan Ho Park at Dodger Stadium.

I looked it up.

 

[John Kelly]

Park faced 13 batters in the historic inning.

Tatis hit fourth in the inning.

Great talent who hits a 3-0 pitch out while up 7 runs and gets thrown out. Wonder what the result would have been if they would have hit him in the head and he's out awhile

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Somebody tell Rail that Tatis is Dominican......

I saw a stat comparison between Tatis and Trout after the same amount of games played, and they were very comparable, this kid has a chance to be an all timer

 

[MrTop]

how much did they give this kid 300+ million ?



. he hit .317... 1st year... 2nd year .277... now hitting .083 ... 3 errors 3 games..pitchers do not like hotdogs




career batting average now .296... striking out 27.5% lifetime...




fangraphs : Tatis still has a chance to turn into some version of Manny Machado, but opinions differ on how much we should be concerned about his contact ability.

While we're on the subject of Tatis, Eric Hosmer has opened up the season 7 of 8 quietly with 2 taters.

Eric Hosmer is engaged to Kacie McDonnell.

Don't tell BIGRUNNER Kacie works for Fox News.
