Unfortunately, Cade Horton, well, the bet did not pay out.

Yeah, the key is to catch this stuff early.

I don't think there's any better time to cast your ballot by opening up your wallet right now than hitching your wagon to Moyes Ballesteros.

Because even though he is a man without a position in the field, he is a man who rolls out of bed with a bat

not just to ward off would-be thieves in the middle of the night, but because he hits as soon as he steps out of bed.

Like, this guy, this spring, .355 batting average, .394 on base, .613 slugging.

I know you're going to say, well, but it's spring training.

Yeah, it was like 100 and something degrees last night at that game last night.

But you can say all that, and at the same time, what I'm going to tell you is, go back to what he did last season.

in limited time and it doesn't matter if you want to talk about what he did in the minors and discount that but one of the hardest jobs to do in baseball is to pinch hit and or get sporadic playing time at the big league level for a rookie that usually does not go well but when you see what he did last year a 298 batting average with a 394 on base and a 474 slug that's an 868 ops

That'll work.

In 66 plate appearances, in games where he wasn't necessarily in the starting lineup, the guy just hits.

He struck out 12 times to nine walks.

That's a nice little ratio.

He's a guy that I think is in the conversation.

And if you can get him at 25 to one or 30 to one odds, you punch in on that.

We saw that with Seiya Suzuki, his numbers, his splits, when he was in right field versus when he was DHing.

a completely different player in the field.

He put up monster numbers as a right fielder compared to when they had him in the lineup as a DH.

And that's why Moises Ballesteros, this is great money to put on him.
