"Shortstop Brayan Rocchio, No. 7 in Cleveland's system this winter, opened a lot of scouts' eyes last summer in the AZL, hitting .343/.389/.448 as a true 17-year-old in 35 games there after starting the summer in the Dominican Summer League. A switch-hitter, Rocchio has a balanced, clean swing from both sides of the plate, although he also tends to glide over his front side batting both left- and right-handed. Between that and his size -- he's listed at 5-10, 150, and I'd guess he's 5-8 -- I don't see any future power here, but his hand-eye coordination is good and he showed some real plate discipline at the game I watched. He's an above-average runner and has good quickness and hands at shortstop -- enough to make you think he'll stay there. He may never have more than below-average power without a major mechanical change, but I'll take the potential for a 6 hit tool in a shortstop with some speed."
Hammy talking about Stamets right now like it's all his fault. I can't watch, but Kluber just walked a hitter with the bases loaded. He's obviously not sharp.
