Yes, I'll be curious to see which rebuilding team inexplicably gives silvergun a building block prospect for Hamels. Won't be me, at least.
-
Holy shite, I didn't realize how badly his Ks have fallen off.
-
Bounce back to what, exactly? Half an injury-shortened season of 115 wRC+ without the benefit of Coors?
-
Yo I swear I didn't even submit this one: BT (Chicago): Who is the better major leaguer: Ronald Acuna or Victor Robles? Scooter Hotz: Right now, it looks like it's Acuna. But considering that you're asking about a 19-year-old (Acuna) and a 20-year-old (Robles), the range of outcomes for each is incredibly high. Twenty years from now, any analyst who picked the player out of these two who ended up being better got lucky. Hopefully they won't mistake their good fortune for actual skill.

And how's Cargo doing, again?
-
David Price and Chris Archer worked out pretty well. Alex Cobb worked out well before he was hurt, Odorizzi has been about as expected. I don't really subscribe to the idea that one team is going to affect a pitcher's outcome significantly. If they're good, healthy, and can learn, it will work out. A lot of them just don't work out, regardless of organization. Matt Moore has no one to blame but himself, although it is entertaining to go back and see which prospect sites ranked him above Mike Trout.
-
Remember the Brandon McCarthy-John Danks prospect challenge trade? Holy s*** we are old af.
-
I feel like Kopech and Glasnow are a coinflip. Honeywell is almost as perfect as a pitching prospect gets, and he still routinely hits 95 on his heater, so it's not like he's just a pitchability guy either.
-
Seems like an easy reject; Honeywell has better K rates and vastly superior command and better/more secondaries.
-
Jason Parks really whiffed on that one... although he was driving the "Lindor is a superstar" bandwagon. You win some, you lose some.
-
You know, every day my dream of Jorge Alfaro becoming Gary Sanchez seems to be slipping further away. Catchers f***ing suck.
-
Congrats Z, keep it rolling! Reuben represent.
-
JDM having a f***ing insane season. 37 HR in only 419 PA. Christ I hope the Jays are in on him.
-
Tell that to Scott Rolen. You could hang laundry on his throws.
-
The raw is there, for sure. Maybe he needs an overhaul, a 90 wRC+ doesn't pay the bills.
-
Lol annnnnd BP just posted a podcast titled "Victor Robles vs. Ronald Acuna" https://baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=32724
-
Yeah but 2500 PAs later, I've lost interest.
-
I feel like often scouts don't know s*** about power potential if it's at all in the average range; trying to discern the actual ceiling is very hit and miss except when the power is obviously plus-plus. Everyone had Bogie pegged as a 60 game power, ~30 HR guy... and now he's just a dude. I do enjoy how average he's become, however, since I never had a share.
-
Lots of red flags with Osuna right now between his anxiety issues and the velo drop in the second half. If we could get an Andrew Miller level return, I'd jump on it. You don't just sell for the sake of it, though, you need to get back a Top 100 prospect and then some.
-
Bobby 10:55 Who ya got: Robles or Acuna? Jeff Sullivan 10:55 Acuna
-
You should probably give like 98% of the credit to the player.
-
Nah bro it has that squiggly s*** under the n
-
That said, I probably would trade Robless for Ahkoonya.
-
Ehhh, SSS though, and Acuna has more whiff. Robles made it to the show first!
-
I actually didn't realize how often Robles gets HBP. That's somewhat concerning for his durability. You just know somewhere along the line he's going to lose half a season to a broken hand.
