It will be interesting to see how that success translate to the MLB. I hope he now gets a reasonable amount of ABs to see what he can do.

Whose place will he take? JJ or Winn?

And so it begins. Honest question- does anyone here think Prieto has a future in St Louis? He might be useful somewhere, and we should discover where that somewhere is.

Probably not. But this thread isn’t really about Prieto.

Neither. Probably kind of the Urias role, for now. Preito could be a fine lefty pinch hitter, too.

I don’t see him getting many ABs.

Shady, I’ve said this before, and again it is in no way a shot, but I KNEW this was your thread just from the title! Please take it for the face-value statement it is. I guess I recognize your style.

So what? I don't get why that's an issue. Or is it simply an observation?

Just an observation! I just think it’s kind of a fun thing, that’s all!

Ive noticed the same thing. Shady has a predictable way of thinking and wording things. Sometimes I won’t open the obvious shady threads but I was hoping this one would have some people cite some numbers on either side so I can learn about Prieto. Alas it’s broad generalizations from Shady and insults from everyone else. Off to baseballreference I go lol.

I knew it was his thread also.
He’s harmless of course but starting the same repetitive threads day after day asking rhetorical questions makes no sense.
Again....he’s harmless but yikes!

If you've been around here for a decade or so, you'll remember a guy called Captain major. He always had to have three or four threads on the front page. Of course no content either. Same old story
