Is anyone seeing a flashback  to 1995 Chipper Jones??

I'm not saying the Rays will go to the series but this kid is clutch and making some veteran plays as a rookie.

This kid is going to be a key franchise player

ELo is a beast and he's only going to get better.

P.S. I made up that nickname 2 months ago, so you heard it here first. :P

I really don't know if you can compare "ELo" - Evan Longoria (nice nickname)  to Chipper Jones. The reason being is that Chipper emerged into this leauge as a potent SWITCH HITTING 3B. Since than he has established himself as arguably one of the best Switch Hitters of all time, so in justice to him I don't think we can compare those two quite yet, unless ELo starts swingin from the left. On the other hand, a comparison to other great Third Baseman who have established themselves as not only Great Offensive Monsters, but Defensive Gems as well...someone like ;

Ryan Braun

Mike Lowell

Scott Rolen

these 3 are just a few I could think of with more similar games as Evan Longoria posesses.

Now by no means am I questioning his God given raw talent, and I without a doubt believe he will someday be a great 3B in this leauge, i am simply saying thats not a fair comparison to either player, Chipper or ELo...two differnt approaches but both great in there own right at such a young age.

Go Rays.

The Braves are my favorite team and i live here in Tampa the Rays are my second favorite team and i really like what i see in Longoria. Longoria is struggling a little bit in his consistency but i think he will besides the switch hitting in the future be somewhat similar to Chipper Jones

I agree about the unfair comparison to Chipper Jones.  ELo (nice one there) is still a little too inconsistent and is not a switch hitter like Chipper.  However, I also agree that he could very well become a Rays francise player.  He needs to work on his hitting as his fielding seems to be ML already.  I love the way these Rays are playing and I think we have a very good mix of vets and youth to take us far.  Go Rays

I will even take you further back than those 3RD basemen mentioned earlier...  The one 3RD baseman that I loved to watch play growing up, because he went out there day in-day out just to stomp a mud hole off in you...

Mike Schmidt...

"ELo" reminds me a lot of how Mikey use to do it...  Play hard, leave it on the field and have fun...

Gonzo, I too have had the name Mike Schmidt in my head when I see Evan play. While he is not anywhere near the hitter Schmidt was right now, he has the potential to do so. He has the power that Mike had and needs to find consistency, that will come in time and learning how to change his swing when needed. Evans play in the field however is much better then Smmidt and has a much bigger range, a lot of balls that ive seen Longoria get too, Mike never would have even gotten an OLE' at. I loved to watch Scmidt play and like you see a little resembelance between the two, both gritty get it done guys that will do whatever it takes to get the job done.
