Any Elly De La Cruz love?

Elly is certainly a fun player to watch. Unfortunately Patch auto's do not grade out too high. Good post Dale.

Seems to me to be somewhere on the Jason Heyward branch of the tree. A ton of athletic ability, tall, strong but with some flaws. But if he becomes a better hitter somehow and stays healthy - has all the physical tools to be in the HOF.

He could be a very special player if he spends his time this offseason working on taking a walk. Very few players survive while leading the league in strikeouts.

This is his first full season and the league doesn't seem to have a problem striking him out. Without serious adjustment, he could drift into Chris Davis territory and become essentially useless. He's probably having as much success as is possible while still striking out 3 times as much as he walks, and his average is probably plateauing at 261, which isn't great. I can't imagine it will improve from there if he doesn't start walking.

I don’t buy a lot of packs occasionally if I’m at Walmart or the card shop. I stopped buying packs in the early 2000s but it’s nice to open a couple once in awhile
