Much better than the post.  I'll take a million of 'em just like that.

Jay's description of Baron behind the plate reminds me of a kid who came up in 1968 or 1969 for the Reds...
Bench's entire body was just fluid like liquid metal behind the plate, the whole presence casually dominant back there, just a huge pleasure to watch him even toss the ball back to the pitcher, like a dad patiently tossing a wiffleball back to his 5-year-old son...
Bench did not hit in his first go-round the minors either, though at 19 slugged .500 in AAA :- )

Appreciate the description about the tennis-style volley with the big metal sweet spot on the bat.  That's a big problem.
But nobody has any idea what Baron will hit, at 19, so am willing to give the offense a complete pass and see what happens the next couple years.
