Taylor Ward’s bat is hopefully starting to come around. Victim of some bad luck to start the season.

Taylor Ward saw all the Jo Adell promotion hype and he's like, I got this! 

You love to see it because I've really loved his play in right field defensively.

I'm not sold on Ward just yet... glad to see him making strides though.

Eh, maybe he is just the recipient of a little good luck now.

Do you guys like Sutton?  He bugs me just a little...

I miss Victor Rojas.  Sutton seems a little forced and not authentic.  I can take him in small dosages.

I thought it was required that we root for anyone named Taylor?

Vic was excellent.

I haven't listened to Sutton so I can't comment on him.

Hood luck?  Is that when you make it down a dark alley unscathed?

You got to love his progression in terms of offense in the minors. He had a great debut, but struggled in 2016 & 2017 as he adjusted to better pitching.

Once he made adjustments and when he filled out his athletic frame he start providing power. He's got the arm and range to be a good outfielder in RF as well.

Bad luck to start, good luck lately. I call it finally normalizing.

He's a rookie and making adjustments to big league pitching. I have to say that I've liked what I've seen at the plate of late.

I love Sutton and could not handle Victor. All subjective I guess.

Doubt an AL East team will bring him back to that division. Heaney would fit better.
