Jay Jaffe FanGraphs Chat – 5/30/23

: Good afternoon, folks, and welcome to the post-Memorial Day edition of my chat. I had a weekend of solo parenting that was filled with activity, including taking my 6 1/2 year old daughter to a Yankees-Padres game on Friday night, but didn’t see much baseball otherwise until last night when I had Bobby Miller on one device and Bryce Miller on the other.

: What are your thoughts on Francisco Alvarez after his hot start, future star or even current star?

: I’m impressed so far. I mean, who wouldn’t be given his .269/.327/.558 start through 113 PA?
|

: He’s +4.9 runs in framing, too. Didn’t see that coming

: He graded out as a 60 FV prospect, which is All-Star caliber. I haven’t seen anything to suggest he won’t be one though I don’t expect him to maintain a 142 wRC+
