Around Baseball 2024

Rocker will be a MLB reliever. His career will be similar to Pearson's.

 

How come you say that, innings?

Pearson was always overrated. I mean, yes, I’m saying that with the power of hindsight but look at his minor league numbers. It was always about the potential, the tools. If you look at his minor league numbers and nothing else, there’s absolutely nothing that pops out

[connorp]

You could honestly easily find prospects outside the Top 100 with numbers better than his

I know someone posted about Parker Meadows hitting the GS to beat SD...but I can't find it. Here's a cool clip as apparently the SD announcer went all Lou Brown...with different results. Enjoy.

I think before 2025 you can just bet the over on the Athletics projected win totals, and make a lot of money

 

Rooker - star

Bleday - 3 WAR and counting with K rate under 20%

Butler - 3 WAR in 367 PA. Another star?

Langeliers - 2 WAR solid C

Schuemann - sneaky good walks and defense SS?

Gelof - good bounce back candidate in 2025

Jacob Wilson - will be good. nuked the minors and has strong projections.

 

They have 5 SP presently in their rotation who are under 29 and above replacement level. Nothing sexy but they will stay in games.

 

The best closer in baseball.

 

I agree. Rooker looks like a legit star. Incredible given how long it took for him to develop. Butler is a beast. Legit star in the making.

 

They got Bleday for next to nothing and turned his career around and Jacob Wilson's bat looks incredible.

 

Would be unreal to see Billy Beane get one more shot to win with zero budget.

Pumping another of my fantasy guys that I got for pennies in my new league as a flyer..

But keeping it baseball related… I’m not a “coaches guy” and it’s a SSS, but Michael Kopech just immediately stepping in with LAD and being lights out is pretty nuts.

He will bounce back. He always does.

He’s 41.5 bro lol. Can only count on that so long. Tom Brady. LeBron James. Those are only guys in our lifetime that will be top quality at 42. I could see him having a swan song PS. Not the whole time but a couple games if they go that far. That’ll be it.

He just needs to get on the stuff that LeBron is on.

Better yet, whatever Roger Clemens used....

[connorp]

He’s got his money and Kate Upton while the tits haven’t sagged yet. Not the type to have a desire. I imagine LeBron has been on some cocktail of some anti-aging hgh and whatever else, along with his other cryogenics. The saying is he spends $1m/yr on body preservation, so I’m sure there’s some cutting edge pharmaceuticals in there somewhere.

Last 11 games, Judge has failed to hit a homer run and has struggled as a whole during the power drought, slashing .175/.327/.250 with a 34.7 percent strikeout rate.

 

If Judge continues to struggle in September, increases the chances for Bobby Witt Jr. for AL MVP.

[connorp]

Royce Lewis had hit a wall. Too much starting and stopping. Going to be sexy mid round redraft pick in 2025 though

I'm more excited for deGrom's return, but that's just me, and Scherzer follows.

Connor won’t shut up about Rocker because he owns him in fantasy… in a league that has nothing to do with the board anymore…

 

Dude is a broken record with his fantasy glazing

Scherzer is pretty close to getting his AARP card. Degrom I’ll give you

O'Neill 3 run BLAST to walk off the Orioles. They should have put him on...

[Spanky__99]

47th bomb for Ohtani.

[hanton]

edman (great pick-up), smith and muncy also went deep in the 1st

[hanton]

Ohtani leads off the 2nd with a walk, steals 2nd (pop-up slide), takes 3rd on a fly ball to CF (pop-up slide again)

How much is the 50th HR worth? $1m EASY, right? Has to be
