Seven games is not much to go on, really, but the concern with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is understandable, since so far, there has been scant evidence of the type of player he was in the minors and ample evidence of our worst fears. (By SNJeffBlair)
“Seven games,” Bichette repeated twice over the course of his answer, which was essentially: “he’ll figure it out.”
Oh yes. And being chosen to participate in the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game, despite having hit all of eight career homers at the time … and limping into the break with one homer in 28 games, that one struck eight days before his appearance in the Derby. In fact, he’d had more position changes – third base to first – then he had homers between Aug. 22, 2019 and July 28, 2020. Curse? He did raise his batting average by 28 points, but the focus shifted toward the number of ground balls he hit, or the number of pop-ups. In the meantime, along came Bichette to take our breath away. Now, Nate Pearson and his 100 miles per hour have arrived. Cavan Biggio, not much fancied in the minor leagues, looks a polished, on-base guy.
