He has a 42nd birthday coming up on June 23rd……..don’t forget, Bling.

My oldest turns 44 the following day. We always have a BBQ blowout on a nearby weekend.

I agree with whoever said Velasquez looks like a slugger. No scrawny pip squeeks.

When I first laid eyes on him he reminded me a little as a player who was put together sort of like a taller Kirby Puckett.

I also agree with whoever speculated he had an opt out if not called up by the end of May.

Fun to watch this on replay. Glad to see some interesting new faces beginning to emerge.

I think Velazquez should have made the team out of spring training. I attribute his poor April to dealing with the shell shock of not going north. After getting over that he had a strong May.

“It took me a little bit (to regroup), but I got to reset myself and I started doing everything that I needed to do to be on the field,” said Velazquez, 27
