BA is average/solid but I don't think is bat is impact enough to eventually be in the line-up down the road.... maybe it's because I want to see a better batting average and a bit more power from him, who knows

 

I see potential in the kid

I agree, potential is there but just not seeing it.... if he were a bit more clutch, he would kinda remind me of a Conine type player

 

 

that's what I'm looking for from BA!!!!!!

He has a career OPS+ (baseball reference) of 107 meaning 7% above average and WRC+ (fangraphs) of 108. Those are solid numbers. He has a career high iso and hard hit % which explains the career high homers, but he also has a career high soft hit % and chase rate explaining his lower batting average.

 

Not to mention his defensive runs saved (fangraphs) of 9 at 3B is the highest in the league despite having several hundred fewer innings at 3B than guys like Arenado and Longoria. Also 2/3 of his innings have been at 3B this season and he has shown consistently solid play at the position.

 

 

we won!

 

I believe I'm 2-0 now! ?

 

 

And as I was typing he made my point for me.

 

 

that's fine, but I expect bit more of this from him

 

 

Suck It MADRES!!!

All I'm saying is that I'd rather have 8 Brian Andersons then one Nolan Arenado or Anthony Rendon.

Yeah! You lost, so you’re a woman! Because women are bad and we hate them! Men win; women lose!

Y’all. This team may lose 100 games. You have a young, club-controlled player on pace for a second consecutive 3-WAR season. Maybe they find an elite replacement, but this guy is super solid at the moment. He might be the most-solid — and with an actual track record — position player on this squad right now.

Good stuff.  And yeah I like him, probably just a frustration post.
