You'd think there might be a rehab assignment in his future anyway.

If he goes to  Des Moines he may need to seek a TRO against SKO.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Does KB still have options?

He's going to rise like fucking Lazerus on September 1.

All the scouts were there to see Jesus, but can Lazarus hit a curveball?

Only when his team's trailing.

All this Botemania is fun and all, but is he really any more than "better Tommy LaStella"?

I just don't see how he keeps it up, and have my sights on him being exactly that--a RHH LaStella.  I'd be happy if he regresses--like we all expect, to varying degrees--but plateaus at "righty hitter who can occasionally rip the fuck out of a meatball".

Much better defensively too.

It's kind of bonkers.

On the one hand, his .393 BABIP and his results so far are way over his skis and no way he can keep them up.
On the other hand, his Exit velo is elite so far and his xwOBA (.428) is actually higher than his actual wOBA (.392) and may be evidence that he's actually underperforming his peripherals?

Fuck this...I have no idea.  I'll just enjoy the show.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being LaStella with more pop and better defense.  No sign of LaStella's slightly delicate sensibilities, either.  I'll take that every day of the week.

That's am every day player, probably. Maybe not for the Cubs, but generally.

There's also nothing wrong with the career arc of Jose Ramirez.
