Was France a highly rated prospect when we traded for him? The guy is quickly becoming a star

No.

But he hung a nearly 1.250 OPS in AAA in 2019 with 27 bombs in just 76 games. Could argue he was a late bloomer who didn't get the respect as a prospect he deserved.

.367/1.116 now for France.

I FAR prefer production without the hype than vice versa like with Trammell. There were a lot of people that though that TT was the key piece of the trade. I did not.

France is swinging at beach balls right just on a tear. Hoping it can continue all season

Honestly good on Dipoto in finding France. I know he gets talked down on for some of his moves but finding him and Haniger have been great

Well, they did trade Ketel Marte for Haniger so that trade was sort of a wash.

But Munoz, France, Torrens, Trammell for a platoon catcher and 2x shitty relievers was highway robbery.

So was Matt Brash for Taylor Williams

Robbie!

Ok I want two hits from the kids with a HR from one of them vs. this scrub pitcher.

Julio getting his first homer in the sun seems ideal.

C'mon kid.
