This kid is going to be a star! 

It will be interesting to see how he adapts to playing in the outfield and whether or not he can stick once Inciarte is ready to return. The Atlanta outfield D will definitely suffer, but if he hits anywhere near the level he has down on the farm, I'd be willing to bet the Braves will learn to live with it.

Getting the call...

And the deluge continues - suddenly on pace for a 30+ type year.

Over his last 3 weeks, hitting. .375 with 8 HR and 23 RBI.

I had questions over keeping him at $17 ... now definitely wishing I'd extended him!

Nicky Lopez up from the depths.

He looked good on the weekend and we all knew it was simply a matter of time. The first homer was absolutely crushed. https://www.mlb.com/news/vladimir-guerrero-jr-s-first-career-home-run

I didn't get a chance to see the first HR, but when he came up, already 2-2 with a walk, and launched the first pitch on a line out in left center, I thought, "he seems to have figured it out."  That first two weeks was rough, but he had a 2-2 game Saturday with two walks and intraday today, he's 3-3 with a walk.  He's gotten his sea legs.  Watch out.

Before tomorrow's stat feed, he's -1/-1.

100 PAs is just 100 PAs.  I don't see any other .392 BABIPs on this scan.

Paddack vs Kershaw at Dodger Stadium tonight ... I'm on board the hype train :-)

I think that with Urshela, they thought "damn, that's an impressive glove..."

And if anyone ever needed a late inning defensive backup ... it's Andujar.

That he's been hitting is just icing.

As for Voit - dude had demonstrated that he could hit in the minors ... Cards decided to deal him anyway.

Peripherals aren't bad ... 11.6 K/9, only 2.6 BB/9.  Only 1 HR.

But 29% LD rate and a .456 will get you.

Wondering whether there's a bounceback ... a better FIP/xFIP than Holland ... but is that something to consider when thinking of dropping someone?

Voit, now Urshela... What does the Yankees brain trust see that others are missing?

When/if Andujar is healthy, there's no way he reclaims the third base job.

Before we get the pitchforks out, Bleacher Report says 'the woman denied a physical altercation' while talking to police, but also notes that according to TMZ, video seems to back up the witness accounts.

Clearly this is going to need a few days to sort out.

Olson has now homered in back-to-back games. A good sign coming off that hand injury.

Getting the call to replace Tyler Naquin, who appears headed to the IL. If your need is speed, this kid can fly. 14 stolen bases this year at Columbus and he could be up for the long haul.

121 Lopez in the data base, but no Nicky to be found. Can we get him called up from the depths, Alex? Bit of pop, decent speed, and a very solid understanding of the strike zone. That K/BB ratio of 5/20 is just silly. Whit Merrifield is moving to the outfield to accommodate this move.

The Rockies have to sort out what they are doing with McMahon, and I don't think they've figured it out. Until that situation is resolved, Rodgers is probably better off playing full-time at Albuquerque. The kid is definitely making a push for a promotion. Two-homer day yesterday.
