Don’t forget last off season was abbreviated as possible. Long World Series run with early build up due to the World Baseball Classic. hopefully...
ST stats are a notoriously poor predictor of in-season performance. For every JD Martinez there’s 20 guys who look amazing and later flop in the...
Yea they're definitely going to have to start gambling more on those types. The Luhnow era/type, contact-first guys like Altuve, Bregman, Yuli,...
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/hows-my-driving/ Interesting retrospective from Eric Longenhagen, the Fangraphs head prospects guy. He looks back at...
Yea, the runway for this guy to be a useful big leauger is short. He's likely going to be old-for-level at every stop. That's going to be make it...
Sounds like a total lottery ticket. Inquiring minds wonder why a 20 y/o who put up a 181 wRC+ in the DSL played another season there.
This is a jumbled mess of logic. Team pre Ime: Athletic but very poorly coached. Fairly low BB IQ besides Sengun Team with Ime: Similar...
RIP hope he’s got a stew going wherever he ends up
well... the bar is completely different for the two players. We're still figuring out what Cam can be. Jalen we know he can probably tear up a...

Any number of reasons to not do that: Pace. Sengun as the offensive centerpiece. Defense. The fact that easy transition buckets go away in the...
Yea, he's made a number of "on the margins" transactions like Luhnow did once upon a time.
Yea, that's definitely the next step. Step 1 with new coach: see what old assets still have value and work in the new system Step 2: Swap out...
This seems like a lot of hind site bias.
trades between those teams make way more sense to them than anyone else. They have very similar talent evaluation and development processes. TB...
Isn't that FA for >90% of teams? Paying market rate for a guy that you probably wouldn't do if you didn't need to (aka if you were a good/smart...
Taylor Tomlinson is #1 for me. Both of her netflix specials are great start to finish. She's getting a new late night show "After Midnight" on CBS...
