Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1823798, member: 716"] Cespedes, I just can't get on the bandwagon. When he's hitting well, it's fun to watch. But he gives up so many at bats. Great arm, but he can be rough to watch in the field (when he lost that ball in the ivy and gave up on it so quickly the other day, I had flashbacks to spring training). Seems fragile, so frustrating to watch him misplay that ball so badly (again) and then pull up lame with the quad strain last week. He just doesn't look natural out there, and it's doubly bad when he hurts himself doing it. He's like the baseball Mike Gbinije, athletic with a lot of talent, but something doesn't quite fit. Interesting numbers re RISP. Like you, I assume this would revert to (or toward) the mean. Then again, Granderson's old, Cabrera's not far behind, and Duda's Duda (plus, I don't expect much out of a guy with back problems). We'll see. [/QUOTE]
