I mentioned this after the 1st ST game and I've watched several ST games since, and I've felt the same about each of his at bats - to me, he looks like he's pressing to impress a bit this year. He's taking big cuts. Last year, he was probably just happy to be up, and he looked good. He wasn't in over his head. Not a huge sample, but he drew 4 walks to 4 ks in 2023 ST. He was also basically 1/1 in AAA and basically every stop. I've been hoping all along that he makes OD....I think his eye is good enough (and learning curve short enough) right now that he should be in the OD starting lineup. I'm hoping he makes it and that settles him some. I'd hate to see him get sent down for service time only to press to get sent back up and start out in a funk.
Sportsfan mentioned it a page or two back also, but to me, Urias has to be odd man out. I don't dislike him and know he has value, but.......somebody's gotta go.
