    In 2016 Travis Snider pitched 3 inning of relief for Omaha. Now when you go to his MiLB BR page is says his position is/was "Outfielder and Relief Pitcher". And if you go to his Twitter page, which he obviously hasn't updated in a while, it says "OF/P in the Royals Org". Fun!

    Aaron Sanchez generally. How much does he blow?
  3. Laika
    1) Lineup protection is a pretty tired point IMO 2) Seems like he has no issues taking his walks 3) Bo will be up soon enough and probably hitting in front of Guerrero 4) For 2019 they still have Smoak under contract 5) I'm not sure if there are pitches that a Vladimir Guerroro shouldn't swing at. He can probably hit anything so it doesn't matter 6) Teoscar "The Mirage" Hernandez is going to break out like JD Martinez any day now 7) Billy McKinney has all the looks of a Justin Upton type hitter

    Those clips explain Gore's pedestrian ERA this year. That fastball is deeeaaaaaaad straight
  5. Laika
    McKinney up!? I guess Shatkins really doesn't care about service time manipulation after all because McKinney's ceiling is tremendous, Justin Upton-esque, and he's obviously a top prospect.

    You can kind of form a stat-scout opinion of a player's profile based on their combination of three things: BB%, K%, and Power. High Power with High K% and Low BB% = probably a HACKER (JPA, Teoscar, etc.); probably won't work in MLB long-term. High BB% with Normal/High K% and Low Power = maybe a good eye, but possibly too passive OR no real pop; won't really work in MLB long-term. Low/Normal BB%, Low/Normal K%, Low Power = probably a HACKER MIF type with good contact skills but no pop; could work if they have defensive value. Kevin Pillar type hitters. High Power, High K%, High BB% = maybe a good eye and the K% is a calculated part of the approach to hit for power? This profile seems to work out a lot more often than people realize, these days. This is Biggio. High Power, Low K%, High BB% = uber-prospect. Bet everything on them (Vlad!) And of course there is everything in between and an infinite number of actual profiles...

    Kids, here you can see some real big league swing mechanics and easy plus power. The weight transfer and bat path are fantastic. He looks like Cody f***ing Bellinger. I'm all in on Biggio now.

    Now when tercet loses bets people can tell him to give it to the podcast rather than to the board!

    I think I would plan on starting the year with a 50/50 time split at C. Let Martin take some pressure of Janzen and help with the transition of some of the younger arms, but still give Jensen enough playing time to develop. If Janssin is producing then you can change the ratio of playing time. Or likewise when Vlad Jr. eats his way off third base by July and Russell needs to become the new 3B.
  11. Laika
    Daniel Jensen looks good so far, man.
  12. Laika
    Jose Ramirez - HOF career or no? He's about to have a HOF caliber season. Of course, we've seen guys do that before, recently, and not put the careers together (Sizemore, Ellsbury come to mind).
  13. Laika
    Wow stuff
  14. Laika
    wtf is Pittsburgh doing? that's such a strange trade for that franchise to make
  15. Laika
  16. Laika
    100% correct
  17. Laika
    This idiot needs start eating meat again
  18. Laika
    Nah
  19. Laika
    When it's a prospect I tend to error on the side of BAD rather than BAD LUCK.
  20. Laika
    You kind of have to just assume that he has basically no power and will never hit.
  21. Laika
    Really weird prospect year for this guy. 2017 and 2016 he hits .294 with like, no stolen bases. Now he steals 40+ but only hits .232 How the f*** does a guy with easy 70 speed (I think I've read this) and decent enough contact skills (K%) only hit .232 in the minor leagues? You'd think he could just run his way to a .250+ average on minor league defenses.
  22. Laika
    Really awkward trade deadline. I wanted to improve but my roster is very stupid - I have too many players that aren't quite good enough or young enough for anyone else to really want. Feels good man. f*** you, Josh Donaldson.
  23. Laika
    Ip, er, h, bb, k, hr 5.1, 4, 4, 4, 7, 1, 99 pitches
  24. Laika
    Or if anybody wants to do a funky roster shake-up trade, veterans for veterans, hit me up
  25. Laika
    If anyone wants a good deal in the next hour or so - looking to flip young top ~50 prospect Cionel Perez (MLB roster) for any serviceable veteran - bat or SP Just send offers on Yahoo Can do Perez + if needed
