We forget he is probly our greatest SB threat. We also forget as atrocious as he was in ’14, he was still FAR BETTER at ages 21 and 22 than Zobrist was at ages 25 and 26 (.572 and horrible .391 vs. Baez’ .551 and .733).

If Baez’ glove and versatility may make him the next Zobrist, his superior speed, power, and arm strength–all at a much younger age–may mean–SHOULD MEAN– he’ll be even greater than the great Zorilla.
