    Pretty much, though they do alter it if they think they should, like in the case where it's very obvious a guy is ready a year or two ahead of that mandatory addition date.
  2. John_Havok
    Impressed by Skirrow so far. Need this outing from him too, Canada could easily lose this game.

    Almeida looks like he has pretty decent stuff. Suprised he's not in someone's minor league system. He's definitely wild, i think they need to just wait him out.

    Votto is hurt right now, he had some kind of surgery in August last year dealing with rotator cuff and bicep or something. I dont think he's even played in a spring game yet.

    I like these overall, but I don't like who has to get hurt for Barger to be top 3 in ROY voting.
  6. John_Havok
    Kikuchi is an All Star in 2023.
  7. John_Havok
    Yep. Boredom is good in this case

    Yeah, this Spring Training is really kind of boring when it comes to roster speculation. There's what ... 2 pen spots and 1 bench spot that really have any real conversation around them, and even then the conversation isn't very long. The 2 pen spots will be filled by Richards and White, unless Richards really stinks it up. White is a bit behind due to injury, so he may open on the IL temporarily so I guess that's a temporary spot that's available. And then it's whether or not Lukes or Lopez gets the last bench spot. Both have been fine so far. Bernard maybe has an outside chance at it, but he's not shown well yet. Beyond any of that, guys are just jockeying for position on plans D, E, F and further down the line.

    f***. Arm amputation incoming.

    There's a Kirk and Belt joke in there somewhere, I'm sure of it. Red Sox sending the C squad it looks like so should be a nice tuneup for Manoah and whomever else pitches today.

    Korea 22 China 2 5 inning mercy rule. Yikes
  12. John_Havok
    Yeah but remember signing bonuses get carved off mightily by the training academy the kids play at. Usually in the 50% range. Maybe Vlad didnt lose much since he was playing at his uncles academy, but who knows.
  13. John_Havok
    I’m sure he knows how much power he has, he is him after all.
  14. John_Havok
    Another decent showing from Kikuchi, the numbers say he didn’t have his best stuff early but made and adjustment and got it done. Still had 14 swings and misses too.
  15. John_Havok
    Varsho smashed that double at 109 mph
  16. John_Havok
    In a vacuum…no. But to get the Jays from a 90 - 92 win team that might make it through a wildcard to a possible division winner that can make a deep run, the situational issues that plagued the Jays in the past few seasons needed to be improved. Varsho helps address that without giving up massive offense
  17. John_Havok
    Varsho’s whiff rate is only slightly worse than league average, 45th percentile. Contact is not really his issue I do agree with you though, I would not have Varsho hitting 5th.
  18. John_Havok
    Merrifield reaches on error by Bohm, CHappy scores
  19. John_Havok
    Varsho just missed that one, got a sac fly though.
  20. John_Havok
    Biggio ripped a line drive into RF after a Bichette single, but thrown out at second. Bichette at 3rd
  21. John_Havok
    Springer bomb! 423 feet
  22. John_Havok
    Kikuchi losing his command in the 2nd, nearly all of the misses are up out of the zone, even with the breaking balls and change. Got Marsh looking to end the threat, and looked like he figured out what the problem was. Everything was in the zone or down rather than up.

    I don’t know much about the divorce laws in the DR, but I suspect the vast majority of Vlads wealth will be earned after the marriage. Sure he’s already set for life, but the 7 figure payday is still to come.

    Statcast new catcher "blocking" metric for balls in the dirt. https://www.mlb.com/news/danny-jansen-alejandro-kirk-statcast-s-catcher-blocking-metric?game_pk=719193 https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/catcher-blocking?game_type=Regular&n=q&season_end=2022&season_start=2022&split=no&team=&type=Cat&with_team_only=1&sortColumn=diff_runner_pbwp&sortDirection=desc&players=668939-2022-110%2C672386-2022-141&selected_idx=1 Jansen is certifiably nuts, and i like it. “There’s nothing better than wearing a ball,” Jansen said. “Wherever it may be -- it might be your neck -- it sucks, but at the same time, you’re preventing a guy from going to the next base. It’s great, man. Who wouldn’t want that?”

    Both teams were playing the B and C squad today, it was a boring game to watch
