    Is Tim Anderson the next big hype in Baseball???

    Some people say he will be the next Mike Trout or better than Mookie Betts. To me, he looks like another Jose Bautista or Carlos Gomez.




    He's starting to get a lot of media attention.



    Anyways, if MLB starts getting political this year, I won't be watching.

    Clayton is a pitcher and in the NL. Tim is a position player and in the AL.

    I haven’t listened to much of any baseball talk so maybe that it but I hadn’t heard him compared to those guys.

    I thought the most overhyped thing in baseball was the dodgers every year!

    No, he has not patience at the plate and a bad approach

    Luis Robert is the most exciting White Sox kid to watch from a pretty exciting group

    Probably never be on that level but he could have something trout not getting anytime soon, a playoff win! Poor trout stuck on a team with terrible pitching, which odd cause angels spend a butt load of money. Not sure why they continue spending on offense when their pitching staff a freaking dumpster fire?!?!! Last I saw their opening day starter was Teheran! I wouldn’t want him as my 5th starter these days!

    So you will continue losing your money backing your beloved dodgers to win the WS but you draw the line at watching? Makes total sense

    Lol. Now? None. I sold or got rid all my baseball cards way back when I discovered pussy and drugs!! Lol. I was huge into them and had pretty nice collection I actually shared with a friend of mine, we sold them all off after we turned 16!! Got a pretty nice chunk of change!

    I was always worried I’d look back and regret but turns out that was like height of their popularity, from time to time I’ll look up the ones like Griffey upper deck rookie or the frank thomas leaf, along with other the older ones or big name ones we had, for most part they not worth any more now than when we sold!! lol, whew! Figured for sure It be just another in long line of regretful decisions!! Lol

    Tim Anderson is nice too though. I doubt he hits .330 again but he can ball.

    We need to wait and see what he does this season and maybe next before making those kind of comparisons.

    They are stacked w young talent. They got that stud pitcher and they kinda bolstered their staff this offseason didn’t they?

    Anderson just keeps hitting, color me impressed. My big critique of him is that he does not walk much.

    Dude has been in the league for five years and you’re trying to tell us that he’s the next big thing? Do you know anything about baseball?
