But All Months Count, so he should figure out how to come out red hot in 2017. Slow starts can retard a career.<br /><br />I saw Ike Davis got released from Yanks' farm system a few weeks ago - was striking out a lot in AAA. I wonder if he just gave up.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-56408141218976878032016-08-24T12:37:12.680-04:002016-08-24T12:37:12.680-04:00Didn't Smith start slow last year too and then...Didn't Smith start slow last year too and then tear it up after the ASB? He seems to get stronger as the year progresses.

Since June rolled around and he started getting some consistent AB's, Wilmer in 195 ABs has hit .283, 12 HR, 37 RBI. That is plenty good - that works for me.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-32248660286687779462016-08-24T11:20:47.885-04:002016-08-24T11:20:47.885-04:00Next year I hope to see Michael Conforto in CF fla...Next year I hope to see Michael Conforto in CF flanked by Yoenis Cespedes and Jay Bruce. Brandon Nimmo and Juan Lagares should be the reserves on the bench. Of course, that presumes Cespy will stay and the manager (hopefully new one) doesn't bench the hot hands in order to get veterans going.Reese Kaplanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993445356545875409noreply@blogger.com
