Does Will Leitch have a take on the Oscar Tavares situation?

Taveras is five months younger than Kris Bryant. Expecting him to be Trout and just set the world on fire in his first 100 PA* is setting too high an expectation for him.

*Oh wait.....the best player in baseball the last 2.5 years kind of sucked in his first partial season. 220/281/390.
HA! Just posted this. Thank you! People freakin' out because he hasn't hit yet are being ridiculous. I just hope the Cardinals brass don't feel the pressure to solidify the division this year and make a rash decision like trading Oscar Tavares for anyone that last name doesn't rhyme with Stanton.
Are you [expletive] insane? I'm not trading Taveras for Joe [expletive] Blanton!
Damn it! Lol I forgot he existed

Lol! Not even sure why I thought of him. I know so little about him I had to look just to make sure he was still playing.

Taveras needs to play every day. I really hope Mo does not do this move. Taveras is not Colby Rasmus. And Price is going to be really good for another few years and then he'll probably burn out like Verlander or so many others.

So now we're already declaring Taveras the best player in baseball ? Brilliant.
