I think Ke'Bryan Hayes, if his offseason work on his back went as well as expected, is going to surprise a lot of you all this year with the bat including me. I think barrels can be taught. I might be crazy. If Hayes can even find the barrel 6-8% of the time, it becomes one of the greatest trades Krall has ever made, because the results will take care of itself at GABP. Valaika should be working overtime with him to help him find barrels, it shouldn't be much of a task because he already squares the ball up a high amount, a very simple tweak could unlock a lot more from Hayes and it's why the Reds traded for him. Early results were there, too, as we witnessed, but his body is failing him, which is what scares me... the lower back is one of the most important pieces of a good hitter and Hayes simply hasn't been able to figure out a way to manage his pain. I think part of signing Suarez was knowing Hayes could really use 2 days a week off and only come in later in games... Not my favorite thing but it is what it is. We'll see what happens.

Pissburgh paid this aging player that’s never won a playoff game $123M ( $100M guaranteed) to get packed up by a rookie. You love to see it.
