He'll likely be rusty and will probably take time for that power to build up. If you have him, he should be a project, not the savior of your team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey_Baseball 319 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Not sure if I should start him in weekly. Only one XBH (a double) in his AAA stint. Might take time to get the power back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redsfan34 97 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Excited to get this guy off my IL. I think the power numbers will be low until post all star break, but the steals will be there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just an educated guess, but I'd think no. Assuming the majority of those slides would be to the outside of the bag, that means the left arm which is the shoulder he had operated on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He had a period last year where he was crushing the ball. I think it DID take about 2 months for him to get to that level. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah with shoulder injuries it definitely takes a little bit to get that power back. I was actually thinking exactly about Conforto’s situation last year when posting that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wahoos1 382 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Anyone who added him still a believer? I know long lay off and only been back a week. Has anyone watched him this week, how has he looked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone watched him this week, how has he looked. He's still catching up. He wasn't hitting well in his rehab assignments either, feels like he may have been rushed back simply bc the Bucs couldn't score for such a long stretch. IMO, bench stash for now if you can afford the roster spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
33legend 317 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think he becomes really good in about 3-4 weeks-similar to Conforto last year. All depends on if you can stash while he builds himself back up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elsegundo 335 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 He's talented, but irritating to own because he's more fragile than most players. Right now the team has him not playing three consecutive games from him coming off shoulder surgery, which makes sense but it seems like just when he gets going, he gets injured again. That's been my experience as a GP owner anyways .... love the talent, but in daily leagues he's the opposite of a "set it and forget it" player. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PersonUnderTheStair 15 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 What do we do about young Gregory? I'm sure we can all agree he's been a blackhole since he's been back. No homers and no steals - and i'm not sure how much he'll be stealing in the majors with only being able to slide feet first due to his shoulder. Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
33legend 317 Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I am waiting till around June 1 to see how hes playing. This injury lends itself to taking awhile of getting back to speed like Conforto last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hockey_Baseball 319 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 My crystal ball says he gets it going this week. Lines up against 6 righties ranging from decent to awful. As long as the rain doesn't interfere with the schedule.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
