00:00so if you're looking at the numbers Kyron Paris is the first player in American League history

00:03with five homers four steals in his first 10 games currently as we're sitting here he is

00:09hitting 400 with a 488 on base percentage a 914 slugging and a 1400 OPS boys and girls there's

00:17nowhere to go but down here and I don't know how far down it's going to go but I want to show you

00:22what the bottom looks like because over 300 minor league games for Kyron Paris and that's a pretty

00:27big sample here is his minor league slash a 237 batting average a 359 OBP and a 398 slugging a

00:36slugging under 400 is awful especially in the minor leagues you should be dominating the minor league

00:41levels to dominate the major league levels a career OPS of 757 that's half of what he's posting right

00:47now so even just the law of baseball averages tells you he's going to come back down to earth

00:51the question is when he comes back down to earth and settles what kind of player is he is he somewhere

00:56in between and if he is somewhere in between and a kid who is clearly worked on getting stronger

01:01clearly worked on his swing getting more power out of it sure there's a chance that Kyron Paris

01:06becomes a nice player to own is he this player that's going to light the world on fire and win

01:12you your league that I'm not quite sold on yet so if you have him and somebody's begging to get him

01:17off your roster sell him that's what I say Matt where are you off with Kyron Paris

01:21so it's basically about where he hits in the lineup and depending on which site you go and

01:27look at some sites still have him down hitting seventh with Joe Adele as his protection but all

01:32of a sudden if Ron Washington moves him somewhere in the stratosphere of Trout and Soler that's going

01:37to really change a lot of things and it's almost like a free square as Joe likes to say so you have

01:42to think about that if it's you have the availability to do it don't stress yourself you have the availability

01:47to do it and some fluid lineup changes are made this could be a beneficial move
