• Eli White is kinda for real

Brian Fluharty-Imagn Images Eli White has brought his contact and power numbers way up and his strikeouts way down Looking at Eli White’s skill set of defense and speed, I could really dream of the value he could create if he added a just a little pop to his bat. After all, he put up a .200/.274/.305 line over 117 PA and contributed 0.6 WAR in 2022. So it’s a decent defensive skill set. We...2025

Brett Davis-Imagn Images Alex is pretty much who we thought we was, with the good and the bad Bringing up Alex Verdugo in mid-April gave the Atlanta Braves a shot in the arm. When he arrived, the outfield that was already missing Ronald Acuña was being rocked by the Jurickson Profar suspension and some pretty poor play from bench players forced into the lineup.

It is a testament to how dominant t...2025
