Nathaniel! Maybe a column on your thoughts. I like the player, and I'd agree he should get some more time to figure it out, but I'm beginning to struggle with whether he will be more than what we're seeing. Can he hit eventually 30 to 35 HR's for a 5 year stretch?
Yeah 30 to 35 may be a stretch, but 25 to 30 is what is needed from 1B on a contending team. His AB's vs CLE were a great example of staying back, definitely pre-planned as he was pretty consistent all game. But a consistent power threat over a season is what's needed. Can he be that?
I would say no based on the evidence at hand, but this is his first season as an everyday player. Maybe he has figured something out and it propels him to a strong finish and better 2022. The Rangers, though, have some concerns.

Did you have a feeling about him tonight? I'm not sure about 30 homers. He'll be around next season, but it needs to be better than this one.

Jeff, Was concerned when you left the newspaper but no longer. Am really enjoying your daily newsletter. Rick
Rick: I was concerned, too, but I'm having much more fun this way. Just need more subscribers like you! Thanks!
