He had a nice camp too. But we've seen these kind of breakouts many times. It's all about sustainability

Is he Chris Shelton or JD Martinez? Granted that's a massive difference

That's funny, I thought the same things about Shelton. I was coming here to post "Please don't be Chris Shelton, please don't be Chris Shelton, please don't be Chris Shelton!"

somebody here posted a nickname for him
