12:03
hscer: what’s up with barreto

12:03
Eric A Longenhagen: Just a 21-year old struggling with his initial taste of the toughest baseball league on the planet. I don’t think he’s a SS but think he’ll hit enough to play wherever he ends up, which will still likely be an up-the-middle position.

1908wasnextyear: Any way to guage whether a hitter’s splits or a pitcher’s splits are more important? Thinking of Edwards vs Harper … CJ is better against lefty hitters than any of the actual lefty pitchers in the Cubs pen — but Harper hits righties better. Whose splits matter more?

1:04
Paul Swydan: I’d be surprised if Edwards’ splits against lefties was indicative of his true talent level.

Brandon M: I LOVE BASEBALL

Paul Swydan: Me too, Brandon!
