All props to Cedric, and well deserved..... Matt Harvey is the biggest, happiest surprise so far this year.

The knock on Mullins was that he was a good defender with a week arm, but he couldn’t hit very well.

I’m not sure that’s true…

It's not true - that he couldn't hit was not "the knock" on him in the minors. He hit well with some power in MiLB.

But he hit horribly when promoted, so maybe that's what you are thinking about.

I don’t like this TV crew but it is DEFINITELY the best possible arrangement.

Palmer seems to like working with this guy

Kevin Brown is pretty good.

 

Jim is a GOD.

He has very great power! When he catches it. Hit the longest O's HR last season.

Yeesh! DJ almost got him back at 2B.

Nice throw by Stewart!

[scOtt]

OK. That's a pretty strong arm.

Ok, possibly.

The main thing is that he’s sure hitting now, and defending well. He’s a keeper IMHO.

And an overall very unathletic play.

No, not possibly. His hitting was deemed a positive in his minor league scouting reports. There is no other way of interpreting his success. take a look: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mullice01.shtml

Yeah... he's not..... like that easy, fluid OFer you want. He always looks out of position.

If you know what I mean.

He does look pretty clumsy, but I don’t care as long as he can get to the ball, catch the ball and throw the ball.

We’re not watching the metropolitan ballet, you know.

By the way, every time that stupid iPhone 12 commercial comes on, with that ghastly cover of “the Candyman can”, God kills a kitten.
