And he K's again, pretty horrible AB.

 

Going off the 1 AB I've seen from him, here is my scouting report: he f***ing sucks, wild, off balance hacks at bad pitches. He sure does fill out a jersey, though.

 

Oh Miguel Tejada, you were once a roided up freak now you're just a big fat guy.

Didn't Tejada homer?

 

He's playing 2B or 3B?

 

Someone on Cespedes' team jacked one out in the bottom of the 2nd, #4.

 

I'm sure he's pretty nervous...despite all his international experience...to know that every at-bat could be costing (or earning) you millions.

Yoenis Cespedes is 0-for-2 with 2 Ks so far. Everybody jump to conclusions!

To be fair, I've yet to talk to a scout who puts more than a 50 for a future score on Cespedes' hit tool.

Well, that kid is definitely a DH or corner OFer, 50 inch vertical be damned.

 

And if his best tool is hitting, he's probably not worth the price tag unless it comes heavily discounted. We already had Quentin at that price and it wasn't worth holding onto him.

 

 

Ventura can fix him, Tm.

His hit tool isn't his best.

70+ power, 60+ speed and arm. RT @wittcap79: @Kevin_Goldstein Then why all the hubbub?

I really hope people aren't judging this guy off one game.

 

 

There's one where you have to give Guillen credit.

 

He stuck with Alexei through the first 6 weeks of the 2008 season, didn't send him down to Charlotte, and that patience really paid off.

 

My biggest concern is we really need a true CFer...and Cespedes isn't that. He reminds me of Vernon Wells, for some reason.

Sending him down would be KW's call.

Uh, no. Ozzie benched Ramirez about 4 games into the season and he didn't get another shot until Uribe was hitting so poorly that HE needed to be benched.
