To me, I think the jury is still out on that, and therefore it's unclear where Juan will land on the list of top centerfielders.<br /><br />I'm a fan, and I believe that he can be bad on offense and still be valuable, but I'm just not clear about in what way you've been "right" about Lagares. Is he a .675 OPS CF and a .750 one? To me, I've always seen him as the Mets #8 hitter. <br /><br />James PrellerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-28032789798629531492015-04-23T06:50:19.009-04:002015-04-23T06:50:19.009-04:00Great catch by Juan "vacuum cleaner" Lag...Great catch by Juan "vacuum cleaner" Lagares. What ele is new?<br /><br />Mack, speaking for myself, I am like a broken clock, except that clock is right twice a day, and I'm still trying to do as well as the clock. <br /><br />Good call, Stephen, on Lagares and Duda.

Now Duda is near the top of my list.<br />Was luke warm on Flores and I still am. I'm hoping he makes my baseball judgement look as bad as Duda did.<br /><br />Sometimes it's great to be wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-10356287142140504952015-04-22T22:32:46.065-04:002015-04-22T22:32:46.065-04:00Let's get it to 11 straight tomorrow.
