Project or Die: Trevor Story - The Dies Have It (1 Viewer)

[Smack Tripper]

3 homers on the road.... get this kid to Coors!!!!

 

[Buckfast 1]

Story has hit 2 of the top 3 longest home runs so far this season.  Only Goldschmidt has hit a HR further this season.  

 

[Gottabesweet]

So this is fun so far.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

900 homers, 4 steals

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

[fred_1_15301]

80 HR potential?

 

[Gottabesweet]

80? He's on pace for 200.

[Smack Tripper]

PROBABLY won't homer today but you never know

 

[Limp Ditka]

 

[TripItUp]

I hereby move that we perma ban all of the Trevor Story preseason doubters.

Second thoughts?

 

[Limp Ditka]

Second thoughts?

Are you suggesting that he homered yesterday too?

Tulo didn't hit his 5th HR of 2015 until June 2nd

 

[Limp Ditka]

Didn't hit his 6th until June 3rd

 

[Limp Ditka]

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

Only player in MLB History with 6 HR in his team's first 4 games

 

[kupcho1]

He ain't hitting 22. 

He might hit 22 in April

 

[Doctor Detroit]

He ain't hitting 22. 

He might hit 22 in April

Does the name Chris Shelton ring a bell? 

 

[Gottabesweet]

Wonder what he'd fetch in a dynasty league.

Marley's brother?

Shane Spencer likes this.

Have others had 6 hr in any 4 games?  Just wondering

 

[Spartans Rule]

Lucas Duda had 6 in a 4-game stretch last July. That's the only other one I know offhand but I would guess there's more.

Marley's brother? 

Someone named their dog Chris Shelton?

Country Singer?

lot of guys have hit 5 in 2 games... Harper last year, would guess he did 6 in 4

Also I would guess Griffey during his consecutive home run streak, when I think he had a couple of multi homer games

Man that drought felt like it lasted forever.

Some said 30 was a pipedream...did they mean 30 in April?

 

[Frostillicus]

Seems Kevin Maas-y. 

 

[Elodin]

Have him in a H2H points league and would love to trade him but not getting any buyers... Atleast in my league there doesn't seem to be much buying into it. Maybe a blessing in disguise to stop me from dumping him but would jump at trading him for a #3 type SP like Rodon or so.

Seems like you should only move him if you can sell high.  If you are trying to just get something for him, why not keep him and ride out the performance.  He had the hype and is performing above the hype.  He will regress some but he seems to have the tools to be solid offensive SS (and he hasn't even had the chance to steal any bases yet because he keeps jogging around the bases).

 

[Gottabesweet]

I'm dreaming big shooting for Archer right now.

 

[Bogart]

The mayor of Irving called Trevor's mom this morning. They want to have a Trevor Story Day. Also, two separate news crews were at the mom's office, just to interview her.

Getting pretty crazy out here.

Maybe I shouldn't trade him for Archer in a points league.

 

[Spartans Rule]

Fangraphs compares Story to J.D. Martinez

For those trying to realistically assess his value, that's probably a better starting point than dreams of 200 HRs or comparisons to Chris Shelton.

 

[TripItUp]

With Reyes presumably coming back soon, what are the Rockies going to do?

Have Reyes shag BP balls

 

[Arsenal of Doom]

New Coors fences stole HR #8. Had to settle for a triple.
