Especially comparing that to a 24 year old whose career is only 46 games old.<br /><br />With that said, I'm not as optimistic about Bird as Burch is, but I do think he'll be a fine player. And I'd trust him more than one of the most inconsistent batter's in MLB. <br /><br />Just look at Smoak's OPS+ throughout his career...<br />2010: 82 <br />2011: 106 <br />2012: 85<br />2013: 113<br />2014: 77<br />2015: 105<br />2016: 87<br /><br />And that doesn't take into account his career .223 batting average and .308 OBP.Bryan Van Dusenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02868262676393608086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-3276480046219962502016-12-08T00:40:51.892-05:002016-12-08T00:40:51.892-05:00GREAT GET....Yankees to sign Chapman.
