    • Are you sure? The website doesn't mention that. I just added a rookie plan into my cart - I already have a pro, so I can't actually try and check out with it.
    • Diminished velocity with poor control and command after being out an entire year with elbow/forearm injuries...that usually does not portend well...  
    • .800 isn't an arbitrary threshold.  It's pretty much a benchmark for a productive hitter.   I don't know what you mean by "quality ML bat" and "knows how to hit."  Like, I think I know what you mean, but those are platitudes that get thrown around far too often to the point that they don't mean anything at all.  But when I see him flail away on a low and outside slider for the umpteenth time, I don't necessarily consider that a quality ML bat who knows how to hit.  He can run into a fastball from time to time and crush mistakes, but I don't know if I'd put him in the category of a "professional hitter" like I would for Adley. I agree that Mounty has a place here, but I also don't find myself considering him super core member of the team.  He's a fan favorite and understandably so, and that's fine, per your comp to Trey Mancini.  But Mancini never was long for this team, I don't believe Mountcastle is either.  
    • I expected to see Vespi yesterday. Get him some time in a blowout game so he keeps other arms out and will be optioned when Webb gets back.
