She's spinning me around in circles, again
Oh, that skinny blonde girl
Something about the ages
I failed college algebra, again
That skinny blonde girl
And the circles and the ages and the ages

If he is playing for rich teams, then he would be treated as a superstar ..but he is so down to earth and the A's are better suited and vice versa

@Griffin Mundell I'd still put Laureano in the top 5 centerfielders in baseball. His numbers last year were really similar to Acuna
Laureano: .288/.340/.521, .356 wOBA, 126 wRC+
Acuna: .280/.365/.518, .369 wOBA, 126 wRC+

Davis had a bad year last year yes but the power he has is crazy hitting 40 homers 3 years in a row in a pitcher's park is insane, and Laureano has only been in the league 2 years

@Michael Ye
Davis isn't overrated he hit over 40 homers in 16-18, Laureano isn't overrated he slugged .521 last year and Canha slugged .518 Canha is underrated but Davis and Roman aren't your trippin
