Surprised me to learn this. 18 rbis in first 25 games. Playing solid defense. I hope the power comes soon.

lol, that’s pretty hard to believe coming from a guy hitting .250 with a .264 OBP and .645 OPS entering today. 8O :lol:

His baseball skills compare favorably to the great Michael Jordan.

Are they related?

Seriously... I would just put the kid at 3B and let him play out the year. Fermin can spell JJ at 2B now and then and JJ can spell Winn at SS when he needs a day. Fermin can play CF now and then too. He returns to the super sub role. It is a rebuild year so let's see what Blaze can do. Not so bazar an idea:) Burley and Blaze, the bookends at the corners... slow, but adequate in the field and on the bases, but good contact skills. The killer B bookends

Don't hate your thought, and have been surprised with how well Blaze has done defensively at 3B. Would be worried with those 2 Infield bookends how many gidp's the offense would suffer thru, plus Herrera hits into his share also. Currently don't see any better options than playing Blaze at 3B the rest of this year. IF he continues to surprise with his defense and he could trend toward being a .750 OPS type hitter, that would be a nice Card to hold going into the 2027 season.

Agree. There are 62 games left. Let him play 55-58 of them come what may- LH and RH. Answer the questions you have.
