From today's DFR ...

Hassell’s video game-like OPS in the early going sits at 1.396, and he currently has more stolen bases (3) than strikeouts (2)

Hassell seems a real student of the game and a guy that will get better and better as he becomes more comfortable with the pitching he will see at higher levels in the minors.  I hope we don't end up trading him because he might arrive sooner in San Diego than many people are predicting.  When he starts developing pull-side power, you may see someone who can average 20-25 HRs a year besides a good BA/OBP.

Hadn't seen this interview before and I love what I read.  "Patiently aggressive" and "necessary arrogance" are words to live by for a major league batter.  The kid will be an everyday player in the majors!

Here's to him being Grisham's replacement.

Here’s to Grisham figuring it out at the plate and not needing replaced😉

I dont see Hassell replacing Grisham, more replacing Myers as he departs as a FA.

Today's DFR has a typo that caught my eye ... it says RH3's slash stats are ".478/.399/.483" ... which would be "interesting" 🙂

milb.com says current slash stats = .478/.520/.739 in 23 ABs

There's no way your Avg. could be higher than your OBP???? Is there?
