    I'm very curious myself how they plan to trade a free agent in the offseason

    Kikuchi has 13 starts so far this season where he’s let in 1 ER or fewer. That leads MLB.

    all the wannabe trolls out there need to take notes. THIS is a high grade troll post

    27 hits, 21 walks in 96 PA…only 10 Ks. That’s impressive, small sample or not. Not a ton of power shown but that OBP is ridiculous

    Maybe he just needs glasses.

    Geography also plays a role. Very similar story happened in my hometown growing up, 15 years old pregnant from an 18 year old. Thing was, it was rural Saskatchewan where people and their families grow up together their entire lives, and those two families lived a mile part on farms. Ride the same bus to school everyday, help each other with farm work every year, those 2 dating wasn’t even blinked at. At the same time though, just the number of an age gap isnt a be all end all….there’s a massive difference in an 18 year old and a 13 year old vs a 23 year old and an 18 year old when it comes to so very many things in life.

    He had moments of course but was very good defensively overall.

    I said burro, not donkey

    He’s played 22 games total at 3b since the end of 2019. 119 total innings. Their statement is correct on the surface but since they failed to provide additional clarifying context in the number of games and innings he’s played there, it’s somewhat incomplete

    Maybe give him more than 25 PAs before moving him up but it’s not unrealistic to think they could get him up to Vancouver before seasons end. Never hurts to have another bat for the playoffs. Peyton Williams has been smoking everything since he came back from injury too on a side note. .364/.421/.576 in August over 37 PAs. 2 HR, 4 walks, 6 Ks.

    I think Espinal should be deposited in the nearest AAA affiliate the second Bichette is back. All I’m saying is when an org identifies a kid as not being good enough for a certain position that they move him off that position early in his minor league career, there’s probably a good reason for it. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have made that plate last night, maybe he would have. It’s just a silly statement to think since Espinal made an error last night they should have started the other guy who hasn’t played the position regularly in 4 years. f*** Espinal and the burro he rode in on though…guy can’t be gone soon enough

    Teams are/were very concerned with the swing and miss in his game and the lack of projection on any other tool. Average runner, average arm, swings and misses a lot. BA has the hit tool at 40, power at 55. If he cleans up the swing and miss he could end up being a steal.

    Gillick also knew he had players in house who could come very close to replacing what he had in McGriff and Fernandez with Olerud and Manny Lee. Lee was every bit as good defensively at SS but a step down with the bat, Olerud was initially a step down with the bat in 1991 and 1992 but turned the page nicely in 1993. I doubt that trade ever happens without Olerud and Lee being ready to step in

    Oh, you mean Ole Sparky, the electric chair.

    This is misleading. While most states have a legal age of consent of 16, most of the also have the Romeo and Juliet laws that company this age that would only allow sexual activity if the two are close in age, usually within 2-4 years of the persons age. Utah, unsurprisingly, has the largest gap with a minimum consent age of 16 and would allow a 10 year gap before it would be considered in appropriate and be able to have charges filed.

    The last time the Yankees were under .500 at this point of a season was 1995. Jeter was about to be called up for the final time, Boone was in AA, decent chunk of their current roster hadn’t even been born yet…
  17. John_Havok
    Electronic chair?
  18. John_Havok
    How is that even allowed, that’s bloody hilarious
  19. John_Havok
    Probably not vs lefties, but when he’s hitting and baserunning like this…hard to argue against it
  20. John_Havok
    I generally agree with your take, but I also really enjoy when a post like this ages horribly, and it only takes like 5 minutes
  21. John_Havok
    Nah he’s got more than 5 seasons of service time, he would have to consent to be optioned. I’d rather have him on the bench than Espinal.
  22. John_Havok
    Francisco was actually a pretty average 3B defensively until he cratered. He was no butcher by any stretch, though he did have a terrible 2013 with the glove. He also never played in MLB again after 2014 since he couldn’t hit a breaking ball to save his life.
  23. John_Havok
    This is true, but…Ohtani is pretty much going to set the bar at a certain number AAV, and then other guys who only play on one side of the ball will basically have no argument to ever surpass whatever that number is, until years from now when the luxury tax levels have gone up and economic factors are different. I’d be fairly surprised to see him get less than 60 million AAV when the high test tier pitchers make anywhere from 35-43 million and the top paid hitters get 30-40. That said, I don’t know how a team is going to want to try and set up a contract so that IF he ends up no longer being able to play one side of the ball, something would have to give. I can’t see any team wanting to pay him 60 million without any kind of downside protection on his arm blowing out in 2 years and be stuck with an OF/DH

    Yeah sorry, i can see how my comment was a bit scattered there.

    Run prevention is how this team is going to win right now at the end of the day. It's boring as f*** to watch, but ... what can ya do. Everyone knows BIggio blows at 3B, and they obviously think Davis isnt good enough to man the hot corner either or he'd be starting there over Espinal. THe only defensible way to get Schneider in the lineup against RHP right now is to give Whit a day off which would allow Schneider and Biggio to play 2b/LF, start him at 3rd knowing he's not good defensively there - or just play him over Biggio at 2B. I can understand the arguments both ways for Schneider vs Biggio at 2nd, but dont know enough about his D at 3B to make an informed opinion there so I have to believe the FO knows what they are doing there in not starting him at 3b.
