I can't believe I finally had my chance to see Puig play on the four-letter and I didn't know the game was on until the 7th. At least I got to see him drive in a run in the 8th.

2 questions
1: what the hell does Profar have to do with this thread and what is the motivation of bringing him up?
2: is this some form of sarcasm I'm missing? Do you really think Jurickson Profar is either exposing himself or proving to be a bust...on the basis of 100 at bats?

I wish the Reds FO is asking Chapman if there are any other stud hitters that could be coming soon from Cuba and take a chance.. Puig seems the real deal and the guy in Oakland I had hoped the Reds went after before he signed with Oakland..
The Reds scouts know more about the stud hitters in Cuba than Chapman does. They knew about Puig and they knew about Cespedes. It is a matter of money versus talent, pure and simple. Sometimes you don't have the money and sometimes when you do, another team has more. Let's remember that when Puig got the deal he did, most of the industry was flat out shocked by it. The Dodgers offered significantly more than anyone else did both in years and in amount per year.
