Where do we stand on Kelenic?

[Millikin]

The Robbie Ray thread reminded me about something with Kelenic.
I was at a game the other day and noticed that JK is wearing extremely tight pants this season. It could be the main key to his success, but weird to look at.

Must like the Tyler O'neill look.

(Realized that doesn't make sense looking at O'neill recently in the knee high pants, but this is the guy I remember-)

Where do we stand on Julio? Trade him while he still has value?

Last year after 24 games he was at .230 with zero home runs and a .605 OPS. Even with his less then stellar start Julio is at a .9 War on pace for 6.1. I am not worried about him at all.

Trade him now

Gotta love this.

All that red says is that the Sabre side of things agrees that JK is a legit top 30 or so position player in MLB. And maybe he is now an MVP candidate.

Oh it seems the graph did not copy over. But I saw that graphic on one of the yourube videos or maybe MLB.coms articles.
So JK so far
ST (51 ABs) .353 .389 .706 1.095
regular season (87ABs).322 .375 .644 1.019
140 ABS is approx. 1/4 of a full time season.
Oh and he has added 5 stolen bases and yes he is on pace for a 30SB-30+ HR year.

He has had quite the power outage lately. Very odd.

Someone sent me this on Twitter. Same problems he had last year now that pitchers are adjusted after the offseason and he's seeing a steady diet of offspeed pitches.

Kinda an interesting look at JK, him and Harper. He was shy to introduce himself.
