Gimme Your Picks of 26: Bo Bichette

[Edgy MD]

I'm Bo Bichette. A few years ago, I was right in the middle of some weird family of a nepotism movement for the Blue Jays. There was me, Vladdy Guerrero, Jr., Cavan Biggio, Daulton Varsho, and probably three or four others I'm forgetting. We even had Isaiah Kiner-Falefa for a while, and he's, like, a super-nepo baby.

Now, I'm a Met out of position, signed for a stupid-big salary to play third for the Mets and bat behind the big guy. It kind of seems ... alchemistic. It seems like something the Padres would do. But there are worse teams than the Padres, and worse outcomes.

But I need to know what the outcome will be for me. Because I'm a nepo-baby, and we tend to expect good things.

Sounds like a wrestling name. Or a horseman or romantic guy.

Love the Burma Shave poems btw 🙂

Bo is, btw, his full first name. Bo Joseph Bichette.

He also shares a birthday with Edgy.

He turned 28 three days ago and Edgy turned 28 somewhere around three decades ago, but still the same day.

There was a Bo in my first grade class for a little while and I kid you not he wore a little bow tie in his school picture.

I was young enough to think that’s why he was called Bo

[metirish]

I actually excited to see what Bo knows , I think he'll have a very good season

[Edgy MD]

I did not know that Bo was, literally, a Bo.

What Bo is a nickname for, in my mind:

 

• Beauregard — 38%
• Boris — 25%


• Bodhi/Bodi — 19%


• Bowen — 17%


• Boromir — 1%

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wonder if he's related to Bo Derek?

The little Bo I knew was a Robert

[Centerfield]

By my count, Bo Bichette is the 5th most famous Bo on the "People Named Bo that I am aware of" list.

1. Bo Derek

2. Bo Jackson

3. Bo Diddley

4. Bo Duke

5. Bo Bichette

My prediction.

.310/.365/.425
