Oscar Taveras

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

Couple things. I think hitting is his first, second and third tool. Speed is a nice thing and all, but not what's getting him to the show.

Agreed about taking it slow. It's a sprained ankle, those things can be real bee otches especially if you try to push it. But, they always heal.

I rolled my ankle exactly one month ago and [expletive] still hurts.

Of course I've been playing soccer on it once a week, but yea....it can take a while to heal regardless.

Taveras isn't an above average runner.

Hit tool is epic. Power is great with a chance to near elite (70).

That's a crazy star.

Basically vintage Pujols.

He needs to run to play centerfield. He's not going to be a our 2nd backup first baseman. Plus the ankle can affect hitting.

Yes sprained ankle always heals. Staying active on it is part of the rehab. But it also gets reinjured quite easily when your stupid about it. ( I know from experience). Taveras is not in the MLB at crunch time -If he were, then he gets a shot and braces up.

Aggravated his ankle injury. You can see him not moving well at a few spots in the video below.

You can also see a lot of hitting porno.

I like to think I am an epic tool.
