Am I the only one who thinks Devers might be crowding the plate
What’s your point?
other names i have posted under: none
Lol
Do you think he would handle the inside pitch better?
awwww Jacksonianmarch. when can we expect your new thread titled:
"Miguel Andujar struggles/triumphs and the future"?????
other names i have posted under: none
Or "Greg Bird, maybe I shouldn't have enshrined him into the HOF already"
He needs time in AAA to work on his game.
How about " The Over/Under on the imminent Aaron Boone firing and the future of the yankee managerial position.".
Aaron Boone could use some time in Scranton as well. How many options does he have left?
Devers would be the youngest player in Pawtucket and Portland combined.
What’s that tell you pink hats ?
It tells me with 16 hr the player is a potential star in this League.
End of discussion
Lol
The idea that a Pink Hat would take the time to post on this board...
That’s funny.
You’re funny man!
Anyone who posts on this board regularly is a certified lunatic, I mean fanatic.Lol

We've seen a few similar situations over the last few years of young players struggling at the onset of their MLB careers, or during their first full seasons. The problem is, that sometimes young guys struggle. They are in a spot where they have little left to learn in the minors and the only way they're ever going to learn and adjust to hitting mlb pitching is to go through the trails and tribulations of a full season. Some times they will struggle for a 1/2 a year or a full year and come back strong and sometimes they will sink and never learn to swim (e.g. will middlebrooks).
The issue as it pertains to Devers is what Moon said back in the spring - that as a 21 year old Devers is going to have a learning curve, and very possibly the middle of a pennant race isn't the best time for him to be learning.
Right now I have 0 confidence in Devers. He shows every indication that he's going to become a special player but on the whole he's hurting this 2018 team. Very possibly the only reason he's playing is because there's nobody else to play 3rd base on a regular basis.
However, this team has built a 10 game lead in spite of Devers play so apparently we can afford to have him learn now. I'm just hoping it doesn't bite us in the playoffs because, as the saying goes, "If a team has a weakness the ball will find it."
It's a mere moment in a man's life between the All-Star game and the Old Timer's game.
