    If we could give one hour bans I would definitely give you one for this post

    Cody Bellinger is now projected for a below average wRC+ by The Bat X. He is 1 for his last 24. He has a 33.3% k rate on the season.

    I dunno guys, maybe wait more than one month to judge the Grichuk Tapia deal. lol
  7. Laika
    Grichuk has a 420 babip and the lowest barrel rate of his career

    dang

    On any given pitch command is more important than stuff. I love it when these old veterans find a way to get by on pure command for a few seasons. All they have to do is basically never miss their spots in the zone, haha.

    Here's a fun comp ----- Brandon Crawford.

    Batted ball data becomes 50% stable at 50 batted ball events. Right now, for players with 50+ BBE, Espinal ranks: 50 out of 148 in barrel% 115 out of 148 in max EV So he still looks like someone with below average raw power. I do agree he is not likely to be a 20 HR hitter now. Just not enough raw juice there. His added pop is more like, he could tickle 15 homers, I guess? If he hits 20 it's a career year. Jeff McNeil hitting 23 type of thing.

    That's not exactly my point.

    I think Espinal got incredibly lucky on batted balls last year and was smart enough to realize his approach was non sustainable. How many times did he bloop balls that landed between the infielder and outfielder? Many to my recollection. With his new approach, he may not end up being better in 2022 than he was in 2021 (he may even end up a bit worse) but I would have a lot more confidence in his ability to sustain above average or average-ish offensive performance. I even joked at times last year that maybe Espinal had a skill/niche for hitting the ball SO SOFTLY that he could maintain a good batting average. Like maybe there is a skill to bloop hits, if your average exit velo is like 84mph and you make a decent amount of okay contact.

    They have like 5 good prospects. I doubt the farm has depth though. It's probably a middle of the pack system at best.

    Yeah Boston is bad. Trevor Story lmao

    Sometimes players get promoted because the organization doesn't give a s*** about them. Like they can rot on the bench and it doesn't matter, and they don't care about burning service time and options

    And credit where it's due - bullpen management has been pretty dang good this year. Nice use of guys like Cimber and Mayza.

    Hey seeing Charlie get tossed last game was refreshing. He actually got mad and successfully saved Vlad from getting booted.
  19. Laika
    that's dumb
  20. Laika
    Yeah
  21. Laika
    This is Jimbo's greatest flaw.
  22. Laika
    Bauer is worth close to nothing now. I would not trade a 1st round pick for him. Maybe a 2nd round pick.
  23. Laika
    trevor bauer bad imagine being on top of the world in your very public profession and deciding to donkey punch women in your free time doesn't really matter if it was consensual or illegal or even against their policies - what a f***ing idiot, regardless
  24. Laika
    uhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is ridiculous
  25. Laika
    Yeah Molina was like that guy who came up with Sanchez and Syndergaard that I forget
