The Daily SGA Rundown – July 29th, 2015
” Speedster in the Outfield and on the Highway! “
Best Item of the Day
Los Angeles Dodgers – Yasiel Puig Bobblehead
One of the most recognizable names in the MLB over the past few seasons has been the animated Cuban, Yasiel Puig. He’s show flashes of brilliance both in the field and at the plate. But detracting from his raw talent and sky high potential is his conduct both on and off the field. Cocky and showboat are common descriptions of Puig while he is on the field. To the point that he has been told to tone it down and mature real fast if he wants to avoid the negatives that come with how he conducts himself on the team. Off the field, he’s had his run in with minor controversy if you remember his 80+ speeding ticket (thats 80+ mph, not his speed rating on the basepaths!) in Florida a few years back. Ultimately he is young, and just broke out in big leagues after defecting from Cuba. So there is a lot to be taken with a grain of salt now, in hopes that he settles in, and down, and matures to reach his true potential on and off the diamond.
In the meantime, there are talks going on right now as the trade deadline looms that might mean some other team besides the Dodgers soon will be charged with the task of breaking this wild stallion. Let’s see how this week plays out and what might be in store for Puig’s future. Hopefully he stays focused on the field and gets things rolling, because his numbers this season are less than remarkable. Take a look at his stats on the 2015 thus far (baseball-reference.com).
