I'll surprised if he doesn't get claimed. I mean he kinda sucks, but doesn't suck suck. Didn't he win a low minor league batting title years ago? Yeah, and not that low, either. He took the Florida State League batting crown with a .320 average. Such titles, of course, are frequently deceptive, as players who excel get promoted and don't get enough appearances at one level to qualify for the batting average title, so your title means "Best Among Guys Who Weren't Good Enough to Hit Their Way out of the League." His career-long struggles are tragic. Like most such characters, he was able to show hitting ability for a week at a time here and there — especially notable in his terrific start in 2020 before injury wiped out his season — but never able to conspire with his batting coach to figure out a technique that worked consistently. Maybe tackling the dry-eye syndrome was the key, and now he's gonna take off. I was in favor of demoting Vientos in order to protect him, but I certainly didn't expect it to break that way.
