My preseason NL MVP pick was Travis Shaw. *turns to a mirror* You're handsome, but hella stupid. My mirror reflection separates from my body. The aberration picks up a see-through suitcase, "I think it's time we went our separate ways." But how will you get along out there without me? Can an aberration order Chick-fil-A or boba? "Don't make this harder than it needs to be." It was one bad call. "Tell that to my teams with Travis Shaw and Daniel Palka." Nooooooo!!! Any hoo! My soul left me after I told it to draft Travis Shaw, and I can't blame it. What a garbage call. Maybe Shaw will return as Travos so we can "see worth." It's a game of puns! With the Brewers moving on from Shaw by sending him to the Ineffective List, they called up Keston Hiura. I know I say this shizz three times a week, but he could be *the* call-up of the year. Here's what I've said in the past, "One scout said this offseason at the Arizona Fall League, 'We all talk about the bat of Vladdy, with obvious reason, but outside of Vladdy, I’d call Keston Hiura the purest power bat I saw out in Arizona. He’s just a special, special kid.' The scout continued, 'Have you seen my chew?' turning his lip inside out, 'Ah, there it is,' then after a pause, 'I’m big league, baby!' I actually have owned Huira for the better part of two years in two separate NL-Only leagues, and I’m a fan. Think there’s a chance for a 18/7/.270 season. That sounds downright–Don’t say Jed Lowrie, don’t say Lowrie, don’t say Lowrie, don’t say Lowrie– Led Jowrie! (What's worse, I thought of saying ‘what Brett Lawrie was supposed to be’ — woof!) In Double-A last year, Hiura hit 6 HRs with 11 SBs and .272 in only 73 games, but his bat will play, and, as mentioned above about how he looked in Arizona, he destroyed the AFL, getting better and better." And that's me quoting me! He continued to get better this year, hitting .333 with 11 HRs in 37 Triple-A games, while chipping in four steals. He was striking out way too much in Triple-A to hit .333 in the majors, but 18/7/.270 sounds about right from this point forward with a chance for more. Maybe he could even be the NL MVP. I'm kidding, aberration! Please, come back, I'm empty inside!. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
