Ya. There's nothing about his stuff that screams exceptional. Have there been other players that carved out good careers with below average stuff? Sure. But it's not a big number. I don't think the odds are in his favour. And I look forward to the Jays facing him again.

 

I’m not sure what to make of him. He reminds me a bit of Buehrle in that he works fast, moves the ball around, and keeps it in the strike zone, albeit with not great command. I think the breaking stuff is actually good. For some reason he generates a lot of swinging strikes on hanging cutters. He’s also really fun to watch with his Cueto-esque antics. I think he’ll stick as a back end starter.

Anything's possible. He might just have something figured out where he's really tough to read and is able to fool guys with smoke and mirrors. I feel that eventually the puzzle is solved on those guys. We'll see.

Yeah but f*** Boston

 

Rich Hill is starting that game today and his father, who finishes the Boston Marathon 37 times, died last week.

I think Gary Sanchez's career could be over in next year or two. He sucks behind the plate and he hasn't hit enough since 2017 to be an effective DH. Sano is in kind of in the same boat.

Sano is going be mashing 40 homers a year in Korea by 2024.

The new CBA does not incentive early season promotions because players who finish 1 or 2 in ROY voting are awarded a full year of service time. So if the O's promoted Grayson now and he finished 1 or 2 in ROY, they would NOT be eligible for the prospect promotion incentives because he was not up on day 1 but they would also not get any extra control over him.

 

Under the new CBA you won't see a lot of early season promotions. You'll see prospects either break camp with teams or come up like half way through the year (or later).

 

Generally:

 

Opening Day - you will see elite prospects make teams

April and May - you will see almost no top prospects get promoted

June - maybe some promotions

July - you'll see promotions. promoting teams effectively get 6.5 years of control. hard for rookies to win ROY with half a season of stats.

August and September - you'll see a lot of teams wait until late August to promote prospects because they want to keep them rookie eligible for the following year BECAUSE if they put them on the opening day roster they can get the prospect promotion incentive

 

 

By the way, the PPI is not just in the rookie year. If a player eligible for the PPI pick awards remains with the promoting team that put him on the OD roster and the player wins the awards in any pre-arb season, the team gets a pick. But teams can only get 1 pick per year I think.

Royce Lewis will probably have to change positions anyway as it wouldn’t be surprising to see Correa playing all 3 years there

Royce Lewis has played 10 games of pro ball in 2 years, what's wrong with you?
