well this stat should blow your damn minds:

IKF has two 4-hit games so far.

No other player has one.

This might just fall into the category of "counting one's chickens before they've hatched."

Seen this same-case-scenario play out, and disappoint, damn near once, if not twice a year, forever.

Just saying, tap the brakes a little after 68 at bats. But don't get me wrong. I love what we've seen to date, AND I'm very encouraged.

Like his approach at the plate. Never looks over matched and has a good eye of what is a strike or not.

I like IKF but a lot of people liked Odor and hated Gallo and thought Elvis was overpaid. A lot of things can happen. Probably not time to sign him long term just yet. Ha

Gotta wait to see if he can get past the league adjusting to him, but so far he's looking great.

This is what is encouraging about Mazara He has adjusted to others adjustments.

Hitting the lefties great

Agree totally......And let's not forget, that as late as Aug last year, there were many a poster here - me included - who worried that Mazara was becoming a platoon corner outfielder.

Like your 'offering' of "probably not time to sign him long term." Pretty good.

I hope Odor can turn it around but agree with most here an extended “rehab” in AAA would help. It is like spring training all over. Really too many bombers in org and not enough hitters. Looking like this is changing
