The Edge of Seventeen: Tomás Nido

Edgy MD Mar 14 2017 12:33 PM

How's your faith doing in Travis d'Arnaud? Is he coming along too slaud? Are you afraid he'll never graud? Are you afraid Kevin Plawecki will never outhit Mike Bielecki? Or perhaps Dave Dravecky? Or Ray Sadecki? I'm Tomás Nido and I'm trying to offer you a third way. For I am the Florida State League batting average champ. And it wasn't particularly close. In a league where only two guys hit .300, I hit .320 and the next guy hit .305. But what's that worth? I dunno. d'Araud was a minor league big shot at one point and so was Plawecki. Guys come around as big leaguers when they come around. So I'm trying not to let it get to my head. But perhaps it's getting to your head. What's my season going to look like? And hey, Kevin McGowan? I'm still in camp.

All I can say is, I hope they hang on to him. Even if Travis has a big 2017, I'd want them to avoid trading Nido.

It would be nice if he continues to hit because he can definitely throw.

If last year's hitting wasn't an outlier, he's a definite keeper. I am fairly confident he will hit. And he'll be showing it at AA this year, with a late call-up to AAA. Later

Finding Nido will be in 2018, not 2017.
