Where do we stand on JP Crawford?

[Donn Beach]

Thought that was interesting from the article, his having a good eye but he just can't hit a baseball. Remember that from before, the hopeful element of a breakout. He'd learn to square up a pitch. So he has become more effective by not swinging

Terms of being a leader, don't believe that needs to be about slash lines. Could be more him not bringing an ego.

It's a marvel that this can be said and you don't even blink.

Did you happen to read my comment when I posted the link, how many blinks do you need

. Why is that, just because he can't hit a baseball? You gonna love this LL article

One might think that being able to hit a baseball would be of pretty high priority for a baseball player.

How about JP just becomes the morale guy? He can get up on the dugout and dance with the moose?

Yup, so you're beginning to get the drift of my comment

There seem to be no fixes for this either. We be stuck with Mr. Soggy Arm.

Evidently it wasn’t about getting the best player for the position….It was the best teammate …….. silly me

Cole Young and Felnin Celestin can't get here fast enough. And it sounds like Harry Ford is going to be the heir apparent to Geno at 3B according to Dipoto.

Dipoto talking about Ford moving to 3rd?

Ford is now learning at the professional level, and that education includes the further honing of offensive skills that are advanced for a player so young. His 2022 numbers at Low-A Modesto are eye-opening. Pairing a line-drive stroke and plus plate discipline, Ford slashed .274/.425/.439 with 11 home runs in 499 plate appearances. Asked to describe the swing that produced that production, Ford said it “looks sexy!”

Yeah, in an interview earlier this week, he alluded to Harry Ford's altheticism and how he could take over for Geno at 3B when Geno's time has come and gone. I don't think it's set in stone, but I was surprised he even mentioned it. Something about the bat being more ready quicker than his defensive skill set behind the plate.

It'd be nice to see them hit on a few more position players in the upcoming draft. But if pitching is what you're most successful at scouting, drafting, and developing, then keep the pipeline flowing!

Goofing off to a camera is him demonstrating his self worth?

Certainly a better option than what he does in the batter's box.

Sam making the case for more playing time……JP can be a cheerleader from the dugout

He just needs to give up trying to hit LH.
