Franks K to walk was rediculously good throughout his college and minor league career. He was a bone dangerous hitter his whole career and one of the greats of all time. Eloy is not even on close pace with Frank but can be a very good hitter especially if he cuts down on the K's. Eloy's career in the MLB started a week ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ks are going to be up because of the nature of the game, but I still consider Frank 1990-1997 and Eloy both hitters first, that will hit homers because of the strength.

JuliusO1274 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 This lineup is much better with Rondon, Castillo, and yes even Engel. I wonder if Renteria will be smart enough to play that line up more but I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest - comparing anyone to Frank is unfair to that player until they're hitting at a HOF level. No matter how adept your comparison, you're comparing that player to the biggest offensive force of the 90's that didn't involve steroids and that's going to deserve a "wait a second". Talk to me when Eloy has a 1.000 OPS and I will be ok with starting to compare that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you ok with spending $20m a year on Bumgarner if he can't pitch more than 120 innings a season? If not, what front line starters are left?

And we have a surplus of outfielders in our system so I'd start there. Next year is year 1 of division contention so it is not too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Frank was a great hitter, but Eloy is going to have a Miguel Cabrera type career imo and that would make him arguably a better hitter than Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Woah now, the Big Hurt was a clearly superior hitter compared to Cabrera. He had a better peak and was more consistently great. But it is true that Eloy is more similar to Cabrera than Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
