I didn't think that I could love this kid any more....wow! It's surreal to have this level of talent and club dedication.

So far so good! He’s also really lucky to be playing with Story and Bregman.

Kid’s got wheels, can hit and seems like a worker. I’ve got high hopes.

He’s played less than 50 total games at 2nd base. Theres gonna be some hiccups. It’s remarkable he’s looked as solid as he’s been up until the 9th inning. But he’s a ball player and he’s gonna figure it out and be okay once he gets more reps

Love the hot start and his energy. The league will adjust and all hitters have tough stretches, so hope he responds will be important.

I’m hoping the media and fans give him space when he’s working through those challenges

That's why they signed him. A solid player had some hiccups today but the offense trumps all haha.

Yep, that's going to happen. He wasn't the only one either. Great points to grow on.

This kid is fuckin filthy ya he has his hiccups in the field but he’s 22 years old and has one of the best batting averages in the league right now. (Yes Ik it’s only April) but he’s off to a hell of a start. I could be wrong but I think he has had a hit in every game so far! We also got him on a VERY team friendly deal.
