lol okay

But he looks like a horrible tweener - not enough D to actually catch and not enough stick to actually play DH/1B. ZACK COLLINS IS A CLASSIC TWEENER

I am surprised, not gonna lie

Teams get incentive draft picks if they roster a rookie all year and that guy finishes high in MVP voting or first or second in ROY voting or makes the first or second all star team. That's what I saw on twitter at least!

I think Collins is like a first percentile pitch framer, about as bad as it gets. The projection systems are still buoyed a bit by his prior MiLB indicators but this is a guy who has failed spectacularly to acclimatize to MLB pitching and then demonstrated those flaws even in AAA in 2021. As usual, the challenge with projection systems is figuring out when exactly it's appropriate to inject your human brainpower. He is projected for a wRC+ between like 80 and 97 depending on the system. In 2021 he had a 90 wRC+ and was worth -0.7 fWAR. I just can't appreciate him as anything more than an emergency catching option who is perhaps good enough to: - literally catch most pitches thrown by an MLB pitcher - run into the odd home run

A good sign for the MLB roster construction but don't expect Collins to ever help the MLB team.

I don't remember much about Hendriks back then but the pieces I do recall portray him as a very very average reliever, someone utterly replaceable. Good but not amazing velo.... and his 3 years following the trade kind of support that. If you look at ERA, haha.

stott for sure moniak is nothing but honestly, neither guarantee you can find better players

Lamet might close some massive injury or performance risks on their depth chart

oof thats nothing?

it's fine here it's the bridge to off topic fantasy

wow Justin Upton DFA'd. I am surprised because Jo Adell sucks.

I haven't exercised in 10 years

Wait Max Scherzer is a Met?

disgusting he will never be the same

He was not so bad last year and is probably getting better but early on in his tenure he made a bunch of boneheaded tactical decisions and no i can't remember any of them

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Deep breaths

Working on things

I refuse to apologize

I hope the Yankees never change f***ing idiots

Something tells me it's: a top 50'ish, a top 75'ish, both MLB ready, and a 2nd rounder

Projections care about numbers, not how touted someone was His MiLB numbers were INSANE

The Toronto Blue Jays: Definitely Not The Rockies

yes, he was not scouted as a completely powerless slap hitter so it's weird that being in COORS of all places saw him develop into that approach. he needs to just try to barrel balls like a normal hitter. maybe Espinal can workout with him
