Swanson is one of those guys that got the big contract and was never the same.
I think everyone has been waiting on Profar to break out this way. With his bat to ball skills he should have been a perennial .300ish hitter. I hope he keeps it up. The Padres are such a fascinating team. I hope they make the playoffs this year.
I hope he can keep it up as well, but a 31 year old breakout, I can sadly see him getting a decent contract after this year as he's a UFA, and the doing a Dansby. It's amazing how often things like that happen.

Who do you think will be the Cubs selection for the ASG? Probably Imanaga or Assad?
reply
I feel like it's gotta be Shota. Assad is on IL currently. But is anyone really deserving of it wasn't for the purpose of meeting a quota haha
reply
Imanaga has struggled a bit lately but he was incredible at the beginning of the year so I think he will be the one. I don't like this quota thing either.

I've always liked the tradition of the "mid summer classic", but people put way too much weight on "all stars" given it's a half point award.
