    Christian Encarnacion-Strand

    Christian Encarnacion-Strand puts the game out of reach with this bomb. It's pick your poison with this Lookout team right now.

    People saying the Mahle return was light will be changing their tune soon enough. CES has easy power to all fields.

    He and EDLC back to back have to be a terror in AA. Hopefully coming soon to a GABP near you.

    Physically he looks like Ty France to me. Eerily similar.

    A (possibly) more powerful Ty France is a fun thing to consider but I have no idea if that's a fair comp or not.

    I try to get guys I haven't seen before and share it with you guys. I'm also so impressed with EDLC's ability to drive pitches out, I have to share it with Reds nation. I won't post if someone has already posted though.

    France is pudgy. France said yesterday in the post-game interview when he was compared to someone else, "well, that's sort of true, but as you know, I hate to run (and it shows as he's got fat rolls everywhere), and so-and-so flies everywhere". Encarnacion-Strand is pudgy, too. So, it helps that he hits homeruns so he doesn't have to run.

    Not only is he dominating AA, he is so horrifying to pitchers that Elly DLC, in the batting order before him, is getting a lot of strikes to hit, and he is taking advantage with a HR in the last three games.

    That pitcher's first half of his motion makes my elbow hurt just looking at it. He has it cocked in a way that looks odd, I assume to create some deception. But eeewww.

    That is some easy power, right there.

    Probably not the best power in the system, but it's close.
