Tulane Thwarts Cajuns' Rally, 9-6

Not hammering him. He is a ball player. Solid college player. I don't see all american nor pro prospect.

Not sure if serious. Pls use winkies if sarcastic

[Dad04]

I'm sorry, but a 5 tool player does not consistently start off slow (3 for 3 on this) and commit 15 errors in a season on defense.

He is a good baseball player that I and most are glad that we have, but has been given way more opportunities than most. Most that have consistently started as he has over the past three years would have found themselves on the bench at some point or for some time.

Save all the grandious. We have gone to games and watched on tv.

For this year, may his slow start end quicker than it has in the past. We need him NOW.

Given more opportunities? Invited to the Cape and made it his _____ twice.

Yes and for the life of me don’t remember the Cajuns benefitting from one hit, one run or one out that he made AT THE CAPE.

[Dad04]

Whatever.

There are a few on here that believe he hung the moon and that’s fine. I enjoy watching him play and always pull hard for my team, however, I am not blinded by the hype. May he continue to live on the pedestal while here and have a long baseball career. I don’t see him cruising into the MLB.

Kind of like those on this board that proclaimed that BT would run circles around Bregman. That just did not happen. BT was a good player. He now is getting his chance. If Cantrelle continues to improve, he may have that same opportunity. After he is finished here, trust me, he will no longer be on that pedestal.

BT was on good teams. Two completely diff players anyway. BT is a defensive wizard and ok offensive player on regional/super regional teams.

5 is an on base machine playing out of position on crappy teams. His talent has been squandered.

I think we agree that is not his fault.

Read my post.

No comparison was made between BT and 5.

What I said was that some on this board's belief that 5 is the holy grail is similar to some in the past on this board taking the position that BT would run circles around Bregman.

That obviously isn't the case and really wasn't the case when they played on Team USA. Baseball people knew the difference. Bregman obviously hits the ball harder and more often and always has.

5 is a very solid player, stuck on mediocre teams that do not enhance his value. My opinion, but MLB seems to agree.

But it is what some said on this board.

[Dad04]

Yeah. And somebody said here, right now 5 is not a pro player.

[CajunVic]

Yeah. And somebody said here, right now 5 is not a pro player.

Well, they off their rocker also.
