ONE WEEK LEFT of the season!
Segments 1 and 2 – Review of the weekend games
Additional Questions:
1.The Tigers lose their fifth in a row and the Guardians are only one game back in the loss column. Who wins this?
2.Sal Stewart has hit four home runs in his first 14 games. He never showed that level of power in the minor leagues, but I always had him projected with plus power. What are you expecting next season? Full-time guy?
3.Nolan Jones hits the IL with an oblique strain and is done for the season. His big 2023 half-season is looking like an outlier as he finished the season with five home runs and a .211 BA as the strong side of a platoon. Any thoughts on him going forward?
a.George Valera (remember him?) should get his at-bats and hit his first MLB home run on Saturday. Any interest?
4.Clayton Kershaw calls it quits, and his next stop will be Cooperstown. Will he be a first-round HOF?
5.Jac Cag hit a home run on Friday, his seventh in 56 games. He’s only hitting .163, but has a .176 BABIP and a very solid 21.6% strikeout rate. His bat speed ranks in the 99th percentile with an exit velo of 90.1 MPH (60th percentile).
a.Is he someone that interests you next season?
