All I'm seeing on Sportscenter lately is players and scouts saying how arrogant this guy is, and how all other players are gonna hate him. Also some people saying he doesnt know how to conduct himself in the big leagues :stopitslime:. This gonna be a case of the media trying to trash this dude, and relish in his struggles when he starts to slump a bit? This usually happens when guys get off to such fast starts, and have so much swag.



Cuban baseball :wow:

ESPN is trying to push him as the next star. I've seen little to no hate on dude. It's sort of annoying.

Especially since Freddie Freeman deserves to be an all-star over him :damn:

Now I've been hearing about this story alot lately. They say Gonzo approached Puig while he was in the batting cage and started talking to him. Puig is young, did he even know who Gonzo was???:mindblown: They're talking like Gonzo is a household name and easily recognizable

Living in a communist country probably makes you weary of strangers and the media.

Exactly my thinking... Plus the nikka was from Cuba, right? I may be wrong, but how is this nikka supposed to know who Gonzo is off rip? If it was Derek Jeter or someone of that stature, I could probably understand.

Dude has only been in the US for one year. I'm sure if it was an ARod, Jeter, Sosa, or Barry Bonds he would've- should've known their faces right from the jump. Now I will say that there are reports that Puig does have sort of an attitude. They been said this since he was in the minors for that brief stint before he was even called up to the majors. But in this Gonzo situation.. Gonzo might be feelin' himself a bit too much. dude didn't know who he was straight up.

It has already begun :scusthov:

One of them had the nerve to say, even though he came second to DiMaggio debut, 'let's see how the kid career pans out' :mjpls:
