Rookie Jackpot
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 10:55 am
It's been a while since I've been excited about my team. It has stunk for years while I watched prospects advance (slowly) and waited for them to hit the bigs. It's been a while since I checked Rotoworld and the like on a daily basis.
Holy cow has that all changed this season. Bryant alone would be enough to excite anyone. And he was for a while. But then Correa came up and established himself as the best SS in the game. Schwarber got a cup of coffee that was more like a quadruple espresso with a side of cocaine. Then Sano got the call and spent two weeks daring pitchers to find a way to get him out.
On top of the rookies, Machado has stepped up his plate discipline and brought his offensive game to a new level, Kipnis is far and away the best 2b in the league and Archer and Odorizzi (when healthy) are cruising with ERA's under 3.
2015 has been a hell of a season so far. Watch out for the Pads in 2016!
