    I would be interested to hear your projections. Stromans seems accurate to me, he's at about 3 wins over 200 innings. Sanchez has shown nothing since 2016. There's a good chance that he's Actually Bad. I think Borucki overperformed last year but I'd be comfortable penciling him as 2 win starter. Pannone might actually be trash. SRF is likely going to start in AAA and needs to improve his command. I would be comfortable projecting Gaviglio as a 1-1.5 win pitcher over the course of the season. I dunno.. seems reasonable.

    The projections may be conservative but I don't think BTS is wrong. The pitching staff should definitely be addressed.

    Tushar (Poolesville): Can you compare Wander Franco to some of the recent rare teenage phenoms? How do his hit / power / speed / defense compare to guys like Tatis, Vlad, Eloy, Acuna, Soto, etc. J.J. Cooper: What Wander Franco did this year is better than what any of them did as 17-year-olds. As a hitter, he could end up being as good as any of them (more risk because he's yet to turn 18). As a power hitter, the projections are that he's a tick below those guys, but then he's 17 so we're relying on projecting his strength development over the next 4-5 years which means he has more potential to exceed his current projections than someone like Eloy Jimenez who is already fully filled out. Franco could be better than any of them overall, which is a very, very lofty ceiling. Imagine a Vladimir Guerrero Jr. bat but with a chance to play an adequate shortstop or a plus second base. http://i.imgur.com/g7IsB.gif

    It's just hard to project his 16.1 K% in AA translating to the MLB. If he can translate that while keeping his walk rate low he could be good. If his strikeout rate drops or walk rate jumps he'll probably be just a junker. Starting pitchers who put up a K% of 16.5 or lower in the MLB this year were generally terrible. I guess we should hope he's Brad Keller, who just missed this list but put up 2.5 fWAR last year out of the rule 5 draft. Keller is also pretty tall. I think the concerns are pretty valid. That said, if you put him in the new hybrid multi inning role he might be effective. Seems like he doesn't have a problem throwing strikes and has a heavy fastball, which could play in relief which is why 43211234 suggested it.

    Please give us a scouting report on Fernando Chacon.

    I can post it.

    then maybe it's just easier to start enforcing the bans and have the umpires look for it closer. It's blatantly obvious in the postseason as some pitchers aren't even trying to hide it.

    It's because most, but not all (which is the problem) pitchers are already using different types of substances to doctor the ball, all which provide different levels of RPM boost. Bauer did research on that. The ideal situation is that they create something as NJH said, that doesn't provide too much of a boost and can be used by everyone.

    That wouldn't work because you would just have pitchers loading up with pinetar in between innings. You couldn't check pitchers each inning because that would be way too much. You could have someone in the bullpens checking pitchers before they enter the game but you could just load up the first basemens glove with pinetar and have him doctor the ball on a pickoff. I think the best course of action is to regulate a substance that everyone can use. People act like pitchers who use substances to help grip the ball are shooting up heroin in between innings. It's only a big deal if not everyone is allowed/using it, which is the way it is now.

    Trevor Bauer is 100% right in his Pinetar Quest 2018. He's making a big deal about this and I hope MLB takes his claims seriously. They need to either regulate a product to use to enhance grip (which wouldn't matter at all if everyone used the same substance), or enforce the current rules they have now. "We are aware some pitchers are using it but we aren't going to enforce it" is the stupidest f***ing mindset.
