    I'm sure he can also be had FOR FREE when you drop him

    When the target is a truly elite talent, the peripheral pieces in a deal have reduced perceived value. The above offer would essentially be interpreted as Moreno + change for Soto. So it would be rejected swiftly. Biggio - little value. Gurriel - little value. Pearson - little value. Tiedemann - intriguing but still not huge value. The Nats would rightfully ask for Bichette + Moreno + Martinez. Something like that. Maybe with a couple other fluff pieces thrown in.

    I am going to assume Fangraphs twitter's response to this will just be "smh they need to pay minor leaguers more"

    And Chris Paddack Ace

    And Josh Winckowski

    Stolen bases are almost entirely off the pitchers these days If catcher stats look different a lot of that is just their pitchers being worse at holding runners

    team SB allowed or SP time to home
  8. Laika
    Jano should be hitting cleanup though

    Jays win 4-2 in a butt clencher

    It's mostly the 4 seamer that is getting rocked. Maybe he is tipping pitches???????
  11. Laika
    So he is trying to throw more 4 seamers than 2 seamers this season. Maybe that has him a bit uncomfortable. The 2 seamer is such a crutch pitch for some of these guys like him and Stroman who came up being told day in and day out that you needed to keep the ball down, and groundballs are an amazing result, etc. Here is the only thing I can find - the movement profile on his breaking ball seems a bit different. Curveball has always had vertical movement of -4.6 inches or more (vs average) but this year is is -3.2. And on Pitch Info shown in Fangraphs it's even being classified as a slider! for the first time!!! But the whiff rates on ALL OF HIS PITCHES are down.... So the best guess really does just remain that his command is off and he's not missing bats because of that. But the other possibilities are he is trying to throw more 4 seamers and it is f***ing him up. Or his curveball movement is a bit different and it's not working.

    he was pretty good but it's a s***** offense, and he got saved from a potential blowup inning with a 1 out, bases loaded double play the K numbers remained underwhelming.

    Did I say that you meathead?
  14. Laika
    No, you quit before you could possibly win
  15. Laika
    Again, good thing you stuck with it and stayed in the league
  16. Laika
    Writers are mostly creative types. It's not some f***ing conspiracy you dorks.
  17. Laika
    I dunno man, check out Sano's MiLB average and Orelvis' I would say that at this point Orelvis looks like someone with all of the contact problems Sano has
  18. Laika
    noooooooooooooooo definitely can't say MORE power potential than Sano. Although that is an interesting offensive comparison.
  19. Laika
    Orelvis has to be a top 5 power prospect in baseball now, right? Just look at these balls jump off his bat. The 60 raw power grades must be underrating the pop. Or he's more swole now than he was previously.
  20. Laika
    maybe she was a huge bitch?
  21. Laika
    nonononono he was a defensive prospect / possible backup catcher type who got new googles in the upper minors and became a bat first prospect with poorly rated defense by random minor league measurements who debuted in the majors and was surprisingly good defensively but forgot how to hit and became a defense first player and now finally he is putting at all together, just in time for his physical decline to begin
  22. Laika
    He was like 92 wRC+ in May last year and then amazing since. Problem with recognition is some of those months last year he barely played, because of the injuries. And then another one this year.
  23. Laika
    uhhhhhh this is gospel and the projection systems agree now pull up his Fangraphs page and look at the projections like, this sounds crazy but there might be a decent chance that he's PROBABLY better at hitting than Gurriel and Chapman, and POSSIBLY even better than Teoscar, Kirk, and maybe even Bo.............. I would say something like: 99% chance he's a better hitter than Chapman 90% chance he's better than Gurriel 50% chance he's better than Kirk 30% chance he's better than Teoscar 5% chance he's better than Bo
  24. Laika
    I think he might start getting hammered. The stuff sucks; he's been lucky.
  25. Laika
    Nah, the Twins are using him as a limited SP. He's only allowed to go through the lineup twice. He's like halfway between an opener and a starter.
