  1. Matt Olson and Freddie Freeman are both very tall and elite, so you would think this is correlated strongly with height, but when you plot it out you can see that there is close to no trend if you ignore those two dudes.
  2. New stat! Savant 1B Fielding Receiving Leaderboard Basically how effective the 1B is at converting throws into outs. It's not just picks, it's everything. So a measurement of size (wingspan), as well as hands (picks) and athleticism (fielding weird stuff) Vlad sucks. Now, by OAA this is across nearly 6 full seasons so it's not some huge value changed. Vlad is a -2 per year. Shave .2 WAR off his annual WAR values. The elites are +4 or +5 per year but outside of the extremes this does not matter much.
  3. This catch last night had only a 10% catch probability. That's a 5 Star catch on statcast and his best catch yet. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=b2881fd0-32bc-3fd3-9bf0-27c0be1f8c7f Maybe it's too much to call it a game saver but if that gets down it's 8-4, first and third with nobody out, so it's probably 8-5, so it's a much different game. This one from last series had a 65% probability and is his 2nd best. Makes it look so easy. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=3ca47e24-2380-3765-9ac3-fefccaed5d68 Just elite jumps. +2 or +3 OAA in 24 games. +2 DRS or more already. If this character of defense holds up over a full season, he's up there with the elites. No real sign that he can hit a lick though - just kind of fighting things off and trying to make contact. Results have been decent but the underlying stats aren't pretty. He is showing solid enough contact and "squared up" skills so there is perhaps some promise but I dunno.
  4. I haven't been watching the game How many of these hits are quality from TB and how many are lucky
  5. Tucker will probably be able to relax now that the LOD trade deadline is over and he has a new home
  6. Lawlar and McLain seem broken. Merrill looked ELITE but now he seems so boring. A few bright spots scattered around but what a horrible top end of a draft.
  7. Tucker and Bo should put a swift end to this low term, high salary contract trend... you would think. Seems like it just puts a nearly insurmountable amount of pressure on the player
  8. 2021 draft almost everyone sucks? interesting
  9. Probables: Soriano vs. Martinez Scherzer vs. Rasmussen Bieber vs. Seymour Bullpen vs. Schlittler Cease vs. Weathers Soriano vs. Warren
  10. Jays are in a way better position than I thought they would be in for the last two solid months of despair Playoffs are automatic
  11. Weathers is prone to big innings Maybe they'll tag him third time through or something
  12. Pitching+ ranks with no minimum innings
  13. John Schneider IS pretty good. The team bunts too much. That's my main complaint.
  14. Nothing to lose tbh His development was already off the rails with injuries Why waste bullets in the minors
  15. Maybe the conky will reset his broken brain and he will mash in Sept
  16. Legit the team is better without this version of him
