fathom Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 04:51 PM) Bryants numbers are hilarious. 4 hits, 4 homers, 8 Ks, 2 walks, 18 AB Homered in his first AB today. I sincerely hope he ends up making previous flops like Gary Scott and Kevin Orie look small in comparison to how much he flops. He has to be one of the better power hitting prospects in a while though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is truly all or nothing right now He's the kind of guy that, in my ideal world, I'd take it really slow with. The talent is there and exceptional, but the more he faces minor league pitching the better his approach will get. That, of course, isn't going to happen.

NO NO is ova. yup, maybe im just biased but i think abreu is a lot better. he is older by two years but hes seeing these pitchers for the first time. i think his ceiling is a elite hitter and rizzo of a perenial all star. for example, abreu/miggy , rizzo/PK. and abreu missed 15 games.
