I think Mark McGwire has broken Yasiel Puig. They've tweaked so many minute things in his setup now, it's like he's constantly thinking about mechanics.
-
Yes it is. 23 points of Craig Biggio's career OBP come from being hit by pitches. Remove Carlos Quentin's career HBP count and his OBP goes from .347 to like .312 (he goes from a really good hitter to, like, Mark Trumbo) ... but it's not really a skill that you want your guy to have, necessarily. Ask Quentin, who probably hit the DL 5 times from being hit on the hands, or Kirby Puckett.

You have division rivals?
-
FYI PSA IMO The trade deadline is in 12 days. Someone trade me some more playoff ammo, plz. I would be inclined to move my DL guys Gordon, Souza, and Wright for healthy help.
-
Substitute in his wOBA or wRC+ and the reasoning doesn't change. He projects to be essentially a league average bat that can play third base RIGHT NOW, with all of his warts, and he has an extremistran profile that obviously has massive appreciable upside (and downside, obviously).
-
Why would 40 games in AAA sewer his prospect status? He still has a ~.800 OPS in that span and a .910 on the season. It's probably just BABIP luck because with a .300 ISO he's obviously smashing the ball.

Votto MiLB .289/.385/.476 718 games 3037 plate appearances 407 walks 672 strikeouts Bird .282/.395/.483 347 games 1498 plate appearances 223 walks 313 strikeouts They are SO similar, but Votto was like a 99th percentile outcome for someone with his profile and I wonder if the added developmental time helped him out significantly in the long run. Votto had full seasons at Rk, A, A+, AA, and AAA. That's a very long, and seemingly old school, developmental path. Today in most orgs someone with Votto's 2006 numbers in AA will probably see MLB time.

More like Martin Perez. The ingredients seem fresh but where's the beef
-
Oh. Probably just because I took him in the DDL and Boxy doesn't have many original thoughts
-
McKinney, Sisco*, and Davis all have appeal but none of them are top 50 prospects so moving Petco James for them is pretty weak. That person's farm is now clogged with B prospects Anybody could have traded for a pick in the 6th round and used it to draft Davis... probably.

Predict Gregg Zaun's Drew Hutchison Sunday Roast
Laika replied to Dr. Dinger's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
"I know the ERA isn't where they want it to be, but he's 12 and 2" thesis ^ -
McKinney was the headliner for Shields? rry?
-
Winker is aight but he's no Billy McKinney. I wonder how badly Boxy wants to get his stubby hands on Billy
-
I think you had the pitching cats largely locked up before Sunday. Hitting was frustrating - my team slashed better but somehow you edged me in every counting stat. Oh well. See ya in the playoffs, hopefully.
-
Davis has been on fire since we were talking about him and Cano. My team hit and pitched decently but had no chance. All eyes on the Turkey Bacon Club division down the stretch as North tries to catch me and avoid being caught by 9th place. Also, Rusney had been pretty hot since North chirped him.
-
Indeed. I used to hate TCA as a trade partner but then this summer happened where I've made multiple relatively easy deals with him.
-
We added min to the DDL on a whim, without knowing much about him, because I liked the cut of his jib, and he has been a superb member. He barely posts in the main forum but now he's a GDT hero. Min is something special. He's golden. Stay golden, pony boy.
-
Chris Colabello kind of looks like an older, fatter, strung out Aaron Sanchez.
-
Felix Hernandez wore the Kuma Bear Hat from an earlier Mariners giveaway onto the field after the no-hitter. (the direct translation of the Japanese word Kuma is bear)
-
He probably was owned but cut at some point. Pretty nice numbers through AA in 2013, but then garbage since.
-
This seemed inevitable
-
Kuma no hitter alert
-
Andrus is owed a 15$M AAV through like 2023. I swear contracts affect performance.
-
Aybar f***ing blows. It's fantasy baseball and he's a post prime slap hitter who barely steals. There are also studly SS holdovers like Hanley and Zobrist that he's miles behind.
-
Methinks Havok has a deal in place moving Boogers for a big name SP.
