The none ability that got him 20 HRs one year?

No ability guys are ones that sizzle at AAA and fizzle from the start and forever at MLB (Recently Gio). He showed ability for a pretty good stretch and 20 HRs is nothing to sneeze at. Since then, he's shown relatively nothing. I think that speaks to his mental approach. But you can only wait so long for a guy's mental approach to change. And sometimes it won't. I think his time is running out.

Baseball is weird because there is much time between ABs and even action in the field, so that's why the demons can get big inside players' "domes."

I think Moose has talent. Of this I'm certain. But he's a defeated player right now.

Hell, look at a guy like Salvy. His discipline at the plate is just ****ing terrible. But he has tremendous hands and he has more confidence than just about anyone in the park.

So he's a stud, and he's a stud largely because he's determined that this is what he's going to be.

Great baseball players are arrogant mother****ers on the diamond.

Moose has monster power. It's there. It's why I don't want them to give up on him yet. But if he doesn't getter better they are going to have to go with Valencia soon.

It's only been a week though. Baseball's a weird game. Remember Hosmer looked lost the whole first two months last year and only hit like 1 HR... then flipped a switch and took off.

So I bought a $25 stitched one from Korea. Numbers/Name look great but the KC Royals arm patch is pretty bad. So anyone looking really close knows I'm cheap.

The jersey you ask? Yea, Moustakas. Glad I'm only out $25.

Did you buy from Ali Express?

He does. He's got a heavy bat - when he makes contact, it jumps. But making contact has always been his issue, and this level only magnifies it. We really don't have any choice but to keep rolling his butt out there and hoping he does .250-20-70. He's one of our few potential power bats so you might as well play him.

Have they tried planting cacti and releasing a few rattlesnakes in front of the K to make Moose feel at home in AZ?

One of his teammates should seriously sneak a small potted cactus into his locker, that'd be a cool prank.

At this point, his ceiling is Mike Jacobs with better defense.

Bueno and Tiny Tim head to the DL, Donnie Joseph and Mariot called up.

I think Moustakas is a huge game waiting to happen at this point.

I think Mouse is a bust and should be sent to Omaha.

I think we need to table this discussion and revisit it the first week of May.
