We are about a month into the season. How are we feeling about Mr. Juan Soto?

  • April 29, 2024


As it stands right now, Soto has a .318/.434/.564 slash line. He had that huge outfield assist in Game 1, played very solid defense, and has hit some timely home runs. What I love most about him is the swagger that he brings to the lineup, and I think everyone benefits from his presence. He's a really good baseball player.

What are your thoughts so far?

  5. I love him. I’ve been a fan since the 2019 WS, and I’m kinda shocked we didn’t make this trade a lot sooner. It just *works*.

  7. Juan Soto is the second coming of Ted Williams. PAY THAT MAN HIS MONEY, whatever it takes he’s worth every penny. We need to add that he routinely plays 155-162 games so he’s incredibly durable on top of basically being an on base cheat code

  8. I think Hal should write Juan Soto a check for whatever amount Mr. Juan Soto tells him to.

  10. If Soto is not signed until the end of his career, it’ll be the biggest fumble Hal has ever had.

    Give him literally whatever he wants. Soto cannot be allowed to walk at the end of the season.

  12. Godfather offer at the earliest opportunity. He and Judge together is an outstanding combo that could frustrate pitchers for the next several years.

  16. He kinda reminds me of peak Cal Ripken, Jr. or some other guys who don’t have overwhelming power numbers, they don’t have the *highest* average, but they do it all at the bottom half of the top 1% of productivity in the game. They give you a .300+ BA, they give you 35+ HR’s, they give you very good defense. They don’t do any *one* thing better than *anybody* else, but they collectively do *everything* as good or better than *everybody* else.

    He is the consummate baseball player that any team wishes they could get a full line up of.

  19. Let’s see. In bullet form:

    – His ABs are competitive.

    – His outs are loud.

    – His discipline is unreal.

    – He puts more stress on the opposing pitcher than anyone in recent memory (2009 levels, for me personally. Possibly Trashtros scandal years)

    – Elevates the play of those around him

    – ZERO DAYS OFF and the team is following suit

    Dude is having a blast out there. The triple slash tells a lot of the story, but watching AB after AB it’s just a different level. Ignoring all of the BS surrounding him, he’s an A-Rod level talent and is likely better.

  20. Sign him till death. One of the money enjoyable players to watch this team has had in a long long time.

  21. He’s young Barry Bonds.

    Without the speed, but at the plate they are the same person.

  29. I’ve really enjoyed him but I disagree with his impact on the lineup. Last two games aside, the offense has felt more like the last few years and has been more frustrating/straight up bad than good.

  31. Don’t want to have to go up to the chalkboard right now if you get what I’m saying. 

  32. He is carrying the team. I’m scared to think where we would be without him, both now and in the future.

  36. I want a bachata song about Juan Soto. 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴

  41. We’ve only had Soto for a month and a half, but if anything happened to him, I would kill everyone in this subreddit and then myself.

  43. i don’t wanna be overdramatic, but i’d fight an army of the dead, naked, with my bare hands, for him

  44. I’d sum up my thoughts as — accounting for age & talent, I don’t think there’s anyone in baseball I’d rather have over the next 10 years.

  45. There is a sadness in knowing there is but one Steinbrenner fortune to pay him with.

  46. Name the stadium after him and all the food items. Replace all the sponsors on the walls with pictures of him.
