    Spanky is just the muscle. You or thehurl or BTS can feel free to set everything in motion
  2. Laika
    And he just singled. 3/4. Insane. He's a better prospect than Vlad, don't @ me
  3. Laika
    It also cannot be overstated how significant it is that he's doing this as one of the youngest players in the league. That's a critically important fact when projecting development.

    Is Bo Bichette the best pure hitter in baseball? 2/3 with another HR so far today. Average up to .377. Career average up to something like .393. The 19 year old probably leads organized minor league baseball in wRC+
  5. Laika
    You could tell when he got hurt that it was significant. He was lame af, like Donaldson, and IIRC he basically just took himself out of the game immediately. With Pompey rehabbing and on fire (3/4 with a BB, 2B, and SB yesterday) there's a very small window but a non-zero chance that Dalton might get a chance to steal Pearce's starting job. Coghlan is more or less useless to the team at this point

    Wow! I read this before checking the box scores and I just knew he either had 0 K's or the game got rained out. f***ing Conner Greene.
  7. Laika
    Justin Smoak, Yonder Alonso, Logan Morrison. marry f*** kill go
  8. Laika
    Yeah, Smoak's batted ball information has always been strong. It's why the Blue Jays acquired him in the first place, and it's also why they extended him before he even had strong results. His xwOBA a couple of years ago was up over .350

    It didn't seem like Harper actually tried to hit Strickland with his helmet though. I thought he was trying to distract him or something

    Jesus. 23 second mark. Guy in blue backwards hat and blue shirt at top right of the picture does his hardest 100% pull-down throw at a dude 8 feet in front of him and hits him square in the thigh.

    I'm not saying he definitely is better, but I would bet the vast majority of scouts still think he is. It's not about comparing MWL statlines, it's about projecting future major leaguers. Moniak probably still gets better tool grades all things considered. FWIW. I've never seen Moniak play so I don't have an opinion. Scouts and evaluators are also pretty forgiving with top prospects, and slow to change their mind about prospects in general.
  12. Laika
    Well in their May 11 top 100 update BA still had Manning, Perez, Quantrill, Puk, Garrett, Anderson, Groome, Collins, Pint, Rutherford, Ray, Lewis, Moniak, and Senzel above Bo. So at the very least he's not all of a sudden going top 10 "easy".
  13. Laika
    Honestly, not top 10. Probably top 20 though. Teams wouldn't change their minds that quickly about guys they loved a year ago like Matt Manning or Braxton Garrett (both in the top 10). Safe to say Bo has leapfrogged a guy like Gavin Lux though.

    This is as heartwarming as it is sad. Doggos are probably the best part of our society.

    Important note: Someone else needs to take charge of facilitating the draft this year. I'm swamped in June and I'll likely be AFK for large chunks of days. It's not that much work now that MVP z3r0s controls the spreadsheet. The group of spreadsheet editors generally make a team effort of it anyway. You just need to: 1) set the cutdown deadline and draft start date [important] 2) email everyone through Yahoo to inform them of the important dates [important] 3) make sure everyone cuts down at the deadline (follow up with specific owners if needed) 4) delete any picks that are surplus after the deadline 5) be fairly active during the draft in case people ask for the next person to be emailed, to message someone whose clock is near expiry, etc.

    Dang, was hoping Lamet would slide to me. Shrewd use of a high waiver pick by KK
  19. Laika
    Bolsinger vs. AJ Griffin is a classic 20 run matchup though
  20. Laika
    It's amazing what can happen when a fringe POS player like Smoak and Goins gets everyday at bats. Don't you listen to Buck and Pat?
  21. Laika
    I think it's something like 120 PA. At that point it is 50% stable, so you regress halfway to league average. I was looking at Smith's information earlier and couldn't see any obvious change that would lead to such a massive increase in SwStr%
  22. Laika
    At least Smith has been as great as Howell has been awful. Free agent relievers! Smith is on track to have a season worth well in excess of $10M, while making $3M
  23. Laika
    Pillar actually does seem a bit better. He might be an upgrade on Cutch.
  24. Laika
    Sale has a clear 1 WAR lead on Kershaw right now. Insane. #2 leaderboard highlight has to be Ivan Nova with his 7.1% SwStr rate and 4.76 K/9. Five walks in ten starts!

    I think it matters a bit. 2009 and 2016 are pretty spread out; having the back-to-back would let anyone argue with a solid basis that Pittsburgh was a real Dynasty.
