So apparently Paul skenes is overweight and isn’t trying hard enough.  Close to a 4 era.  I donno who Livy dunn is but I heard she may leave him.   News sources are saying.
 

Gotta sign that $500m contract first 

He's going the Alek Manoah route.

Not even close.

Thank you Angels and particularly Mr. Trout!

If the brewers can finish this comeback the dodgers will now be in the wildcard round spot

Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob deGrom exited Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Angels at Angel Stadium after only two innings with right triceps fatigue. The 38-year-old has already battled hip/glute soreness for a month, but after a 32-pitch second inning in which he allowed two runs on five singles, he was replaced by rookie reliever Peyton Gray.

How messed up is this?

To be fair Cal Rolly has half as many at bats as last year and hasn't he been hurt?  Just like Vlad, they will both be back to MVP players next year.  I know Cal looks like hes 40 but pretty sure he is still a fairly young guy.

Walbert Urena has been really good this season. We don't hear much about him. 

Needs to figure out the BB/9 rate moving forward but he's only 22.

He's been terrible all year - even when he was healthy at the start of the year.  Chris Davis type stuff.

Pablo Guerrero is Vlad's younger brother, 20 year old in A ball with Texas. 

Power only prospect finally mashing.

What do you think the odds are that he is a better MLB hitter than his older brother within the next five years? 

At 20 years old, he could realistically continue to mash and debut in 2028 or 2029. 

He has a non-zero chance of having a better MLB career than his older brother, hilariously.

Is Vlads brother better than Devon Travis?  Because if yes, he will be better than Vlad.  What we have in Vlad is basically Devon Travis on an off year.  Vlad does have potential to be a prime Devon Travis though.  That’s kind of his new ceiling.

Is Vladdy the new Lyle Overbay?

Don't even think Vladdy can surpass Overbay's season HR totals from 2008-2010 haha.
