If I hit it to 4 feet, I probably missed the putt. Might have even three-jacked it.
But I basically love big guys with a two-handed "bludgeon finish," cats who don't have too much movement in the bat and a decent eye (Van Slyke waked 100 pts last year and has basically done that in 720 AAA PA's). Guys like that, Thome-types, look bad when they get fooled (Thome had 2548 career K's, after all), but they deliver the 410-ft punishment to pitcher mistakes. Is he Thome? Nope. But he's looking a whole lot like Thome-lite.
I still think we can get him.
Much appreciated.
