Didn't he take a throw to the chest?

That reportedly happened in a spring training game.

Still not a reassuring sight.

Unclear what happened.    Whatever occurred happened in a non-televised spring training game.    It was some kind of play where Yacabonis was throwing to Davis and appeared to catch him off-guard.    No error was charged on the play.     I can’t say it impacts my opinion of Davis’ defense so far this year.   To me, he’s looked considerably better than last year.

But Delmon was scouting to be a true 5 star talent.

Between the draft and the majors he must have misplaced three or four of his 80-grade tools.

It's the new metric. If you looked stupid or incompetent on one play it invalidates the whole body of work. 

If the reverse is also true, all I need is one good post.

He shoulda had a career!  He was as good as Delmon Young, didn't have antisocial behavior, and Young got over 4000 PAs in the majors.

But his post baseball-playing career is more challenging and rewarding than spending time in the slammer so there is that ....

Good luck with that.

You play best off the work of others my cantankerous friend, you’re welcome.

I had to laugh, when I read that scouting report about Young, it was funny as heck, we discussing the 2003 Draft and Nick.

and this is a good chuckle:

COMMENT: Very athletic LHP with quick arm. Fastball, arm side run. Works in and out with ability to locate. Hard, down, power curveball other strikes pitch. Good arm speed on sinking changeup. Steady improvement. Quiet, all business on the mound with a streak of nasty in him. Can reach back. Doesn't like to lose.

I another universe Nick Markakis is mentioned in the same breath as Adam Loewen and Chris Smith.
