Where do we stand on Kelenic?

I don't think they will push him up in the lineup too fast. The pressure can get into the minds of hitters. I believe this happened to Hanigar.

Pleased the lad is showing some tremendous form. However, a legendary soccer manager coined a phrase that “form is temporary but class is permanent”. It’s still too early to say if he is a class act yet. I hope he is, but enough evidence exists that he isn’t.

Maybe they had a hypnotist make him think that it's still spring training

Bro, it's obvious that he's changed from the hitter he was last yr. You can say he evidence exists that he wasn't, but not that he isn't. I agree with you, it has just been 12 games, let's see him prove it over 162. I think he's about to. I am here for Kelenic's breakout 2023. If the Mariners get nothing else out of 23 but Kelenic posting a 900+ ops, that in itself will be a win as we head to 2024.

Seems a bit harsh, the evidence points to him not having class? Class more or less equates to style? His style is emotional?

Gotta love the dudes waiting until now to submit their selection on the poll question. The OP should have locked the poll 2 weeks ago.
