Enjoy the present gentlemen.  It is pretty damn good.  Who knows what the next 5 years will bring.  I tried my kids not to go out looking for trouble, chances are it will come to find you.

Gunnar is a special talent.

He didn't seem overwhelmed when he struggled earlier in the year. Once he became more aggressive at the plate, good things started happening.

So despite some bold proclamations very early in the season it appears in fact that Gunnar is indeed good. On a related note, maybe we should show some patience with Cowser as well before writing him off.


Already admitted I was dead wrong. Good for you though!

He’s kind of a freak.

Should've demoted him to AAA in May.

Clearly he's taken a more aggressive approach at the plate since the beginning of the year as the walk rate has plummeted.

I'm not worried because of his track record, but hopefully he can find a happy medium between aggressiveness while still getting his walks as he continues to progress.

Kid is a legit star in the making, though.
