Depending on how you count them, he's with his 3rd or 5th organization. If he learns how to hit, Stearns will look like a genius. I like the "enigmatic" description, apt.

Siri sounds like better defense not as much power Joey Gallo. Hopefully at some point this season Jett or Gilbert or Acuna can win the CF spot. I do like the styling though 😀

I'm intrigued by the prospect of Acuna in CF. If his bat is what I think it is, we really want him in the lineup if we can do it.

It would depend on the Squirrel nailing down second base, though.

I noticed Siri seems to be in a slightly deeper batting crouch than during the latest LIDOM season. It's not a huge adjustment, but it may be what he needs to get his bat path longer through the zone.

Which makes sense. He's one of those long and lanky dudes, very long arms and legs, and if he's too upright, his swing loops too much. Get down a little and make a more level swing and he has a better chance at making contact.

One thing's for sure: down in the Dominican he swung through a lot of hittable fastballs. He needs to get a hold of a few of them and hit them into the gaps rather than looking to jack all the time.
