I’m far more sold on the guy. I was originally a little iffy on it because of his size and lack of home-run speed, but the kind of stuff they talk about in there don’t show up in the guy’s measurables… that’s damn fine fundamentals he had on display there. Probably ended up with a solid value that late in the 7th… or, at the VERY least, better value than Boyd ended up being last year.

This guy can contrlo his body in such a way that it can not be taught. It is one of those instincs that you are either born with or you are not and that video shows that he was definately born with it. He is short but so is Steve Smith but if one has the right technique and skills then they are able to adjust to benafit from it. Stroughter will probably become more than just a spot filler on this team.
