Easy to say, but his 10 HRs in 13 games and then the awesome tear after that started literally the day after his Beltran convo. Doesn't seem coincidental.
It’s crazy how little he strikes out. Most guys with his amount of AB are close to or well over 100 Ks at this point in the season. But that can be said for a lot of the guys on this roster.
GURRIEL = GOAT Yes, a little exaggeration but... He is cut from that cloth. This guy's dad was the best EVER in Cuba, and Yuli is considered to be up there in Cuba as well. When he is done with the Astros, he will go down as the most decorated baseball player in the world. He's proven himself in Cuba, Japan, and USA. Made big time defensive plays on the biggest stages, while switching between 2nd, 3rd, and 1st base. Was tagged to be the #1 draft pick after killing it in the World Baseball Classic. Instead, he defects from Cuba, comes to the ASTROS and in his 2nd season, in GAME 5 OF THE WORLD SERIES hits a 3 run homer AGAINST KERSHAW TO TIE THE GAME! This guys can do it all. If he contributes at this level and wins 2 more World series titles... im not sure who else you can compare him to with as many achievements.
