WTF?! That's a blown call right?

from second base.

Never seen anything like it before. He tried to steal 2nd again but was thrown out. Would have made the story even better if he had stolen it again.

About freaking time. Wait. What?

The ump should have called Segura out, as with Braun standing on second, Segura is forced to third. The correct call would have been Braun safe at second, Segura out.

The ump blew another call by missing the second tag on Segura as he retreated to first. In the end the Brewers lost a base.

Segura sure seems to be doing it all - he's not just stealing first. He's hitting HR like he's Tulo, running like he's Everth, avoiding strikeouts like he's Castro. He has been like a rich man's Ian Desmond. I'd expect the HR rate to slow considerably, given his lack of power in his history, but young guys do develop power, so I'd think he'd still finish in the high teens at least in HR this year.

How do you rank him for the rest of 2013? 2014?

2013 NL LABR-Tout Wars Avg Auction Price of Shortstops
Tulo $30
Hanley $29 (I believe since he went for $17 in tout, he must have been hurt post-LABR pre-tout, so this is LABR only)
Starlin Castro $25.50
Desmond $25.50
Segura $18

Segura is doing so well I ma thinking about trading Andrelton Simmons, who has bee very nice for a mid round SS.
