Last two games(one being against David Price):

6/6, double, triple, 3 home runs, 2 walks, and only 3 RBI's(wtf lol). Rays also walked him(4 pitch walk) yesterday when he was just a single short of the cycle.

His stats for the season are also great, over .500 OBP. Looking more and more like last year wasn't a fluke and he's a legit star.

I just don't understand how someone who was in the league for awhile just comes out of nowhere to this level in the non steroid era of baseball. Anyone ever heard him say what changed to make him become superhuman virtually overnight?

Completely changed his swing and was given an opportunity to be a full time player.

it's whatever. he wouldn't be the only one doing it.

does the MLB test for HGH? after the sudden change in performance, it wouldn't surprise me if he's been tested multiple times.

he's clearly the best player in baseball at the moment though. that's all that matters.

No, none of the major sports do it because it has to be done via blood tests and the unions won't let that happen. I think the are implementing it in the minor leagues which would be a first. HGH is incredibly effective especially in aging players but as of now, you can't be busted for it in any sport.

Then I wouldn't be surprised at all if a lot of the big time hitters are using it.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
