    Yeah I remember him as a player for the Rockies. I like him on Loud Outs as well.

    He doesn’t take himself too seriously and gives pretty interesting inside views of player life.  Will be interesting to see how he does this game.  Does he call game for the Rockies?

    Maybe there will be a MILK promotion at the Yard one day for Cowser.  Then down the road something for Coby and then there will be a MILK and MAYO promo.  Can you taste it now? Mmm...mmm...good.

    Hopefully early in the season and not the middle of summer.  That could be bad.

    Thats cool. I think I have to give the edge to Mullins defending right now. Cowser's a huge guy for CF too, listed at 220 lbs on Bbref, but if Judge can do it...

    I agree - just curious to see the similarity.  Imagine. Cowser has beat in wing span.  And his arm is much stronger.

    Sprint speed doesn't equal being good in CF. Mullins has great instincts and gets really good jumps on balls.

    Mullins has definitely lost a step and I'm not sure if he's just being cautious so he doesn't hurt his groin again or what, but he's special out there in CF on defense.

    For sure.  I thought it was interesting.  I was surprised to see the numbers so close.  It’s definitely a building block to being a good CF. 
     

    I’ve also noticed Mullins taking it easy.  He’s been picking his spots to when he goes all out.

    Just because he hasn't gotten a hit and had some fun defensive plays doesn't mean he's pressing, nervous, any of that mental BS some of you like to put on these guys.

    He's adjusting to playing Major League Baseball.

    This.

    No you bat your best hitter second.  That is what all the analytics say.  And I would love to see him hit second. 

    I like my best hitter getting the most ABs in a season.  Especially one who is one of the fastest in baseball, an incredible baserunner, and an OBP machine.

    Actually 796 OPS but he was put there when he went on the heater that got him the ROTY  

    As I said, it’s a combination of me believing he will be better batting second or third.  He just doesn’t look great leading off games.  It’s a small sample size, but I also backed it up with stats to date.  

    He’s the best hitter on the team and as such should get the most ABs on the season.
