bases believe capable great guy hide hitting home judged left question reach runs since speed steal talent
This guy is only being judged by the home runs now. Right now, he's only capable of hitting home runs. He doesn't steal the bases anymore. He's not the (superb) left fielder anymore.

Because there's no question about it, this guy's been great since he was a kid.

He is his own boss when it comes to that. He has been since I've been here. He knows what he has to do with BP, outfield, running. So far it's worked pretty good for him and for the team.
ball charged coming guy hard lose signed throwing time
We're going to take our time with him. It's really hard to lose Noah, a young guy who was really coming up big. He just signed a long-term contract. He was really charged up and throwing the ball well.
We have no scheduled day off for him tomorrow.
acquired capable control pitching team walk
We have no control on what's going to happen. He could be acquired by another team or he could just walk away from us. That would be a setback for us, because we know he is capable of pitching well, and he could end up doing it for someone else.
