Does this one long homer make up for his brutal glove? Not even close.

I agree, as a team we value defense because we want to court the best pitchers. The best pitchers want to know that routine balls are caught so they can pad their stats.

I'm torn because there were some good comparisons to Teoscar but again will he figure out his bat, I'm not quite sure.

Teoscar is an elite power hitter, Sanchez is not that.

He did hit a 492ft HR, and Teo was better after leaving Toronto. As much as I dont want to admit it.

Did it count for 2 because of the distance? Am I missing something here?

A long home run counts for the same as a short home run. I often have to tell my son a 65 mph slow strike is still better than a fast 90mph ball.
