Julio ?

Thoughts on Julio Rodriguez ?
-
He made an incredible catch against the astros tonight.
-
He's got a great smile. Strikes out an awful lot though.

As a Mariners fan since age 3, I can unfortunately say I’m not on the hype train for Julio because he is not ready for major league ball. He’s got the glove and the speed to field because he’s young. But he does not have the bat speed or pitch count IQ to hit against big league arms. I know we’re only a week into regular season, but he is hitting atrociously and strikes out so much. I was at the ballgame tonight and Verlander made a fool of him, twice. It’s embarrassing to have Julio replace Kyle while Kyle’s on the IL. And now that Haniger is on the IL too, we’ll see how the lineup suffers with Kelenic in RF. I should also mention I dislike Kelenic for the exact same reasons as Julio. They need way more AAA time to get up to speed

Kelenic wasn't ready either but he was almost forced up to the bigs after that leaked statement about his service time from the former Seattle president. Kelenic then made statements claiming he was ready and blah blah blah. So then Seattle brought him up too early and he wasn't ready. Let's see how he does moving forward. Dude started off as a whiner in my opinion. Hard to get behind a guy like that especially after he started off like 10 for his first 100 at bats(total guess but I know it was bad).
