Oneil Cruz - Sports Science

Oneil Cruz has out-of-this-world athleticism 🤯
Let's take a closer look at the Pirates prospect and compare his abilities to the likes of Aaron Judge, Jimmy Butler, Dylan Cease, and Tyreek Hill. 😳

He needs to become a better hitter

[@jasonschwartz9481]

@@thepikachuoftexas3871 agreed. Gregory Polanco was the last pirates prospect who had a similar tool set. 6'5", a great arm, could run, considered a plus defender...and, though he had some good years, his approach at the plate has him in Japan as a 30 year old. I definitely believe that Cruz has more potential and athleticism. But, Polanco is the perfect example of a ball player with a VERY rare tool set, never growing and maximizing it.

[@brianhill2171]

@@jasonschwartz9481 Would argue Jason Heyward was similar as well. Even had a great approach at the plate as a rookie, but for some reason just never really figured it out as a hitter outside of a couple solid years. But if Cruz is as freakish as he seems, he'll stick around like Heyward with his defensive potential at one of the premier spots on the diamond. That combined with the raw power - easily more than Heyward and Polanco ever had - will keep him on a roster, unless he's got attitude issues, which ... well ...

You need to BUY oil/gas stocks. The "illusion" of problems in these industries is B.S. If the stock price climbs, then you know that everyone is seeing the TRUTH. The dividend yield is just fine. Give them more capital ... more investors ... and their refineries will start to be fixed ... especially if investors (not non-investors), but investors call them to ask questions. The stock holders of these companies need to have people from all parties, all colors, all belief systems. A melting-pot of investors. If you CAN, you need to buy in now, because this is the green-new-deal right here. They are all positioned to do that, but they don't want you to know ... unless you are an investor (or potential investor). Just watch all their splashy videos. USA has the largest refinery capacity in the world ... and therefore, being the guys in charge of that conversion process ... from oil to gas ... it doesn't matter what price the oil is. It matters if people use gas. Do people use gas? Yup!! And now that our relationship with Russia is damaged, people might be nervous about this, but you are being tricked. They want you to be hesitant during this political change in USA. IGNORE the politics and just BUY and OWN. Hold it ... keep it. This gives you a vote. Don't like national lands being touched -- be an owner of these stocks. Don't like oil at all, be an owner of these stocks and get these companies to go further green. They are doing it. They know. They want to survive. They will.
