I agree with the fact that it's stupid, but most players can't bunt anymore because it is not practiced with regularity. I'm pretty sure guys that know how to bunt could do so in today's game as well. An uptick in 5mph aint going to change that.
I listened to this ep. last night. Lots of good discussion, I quite enjoyed it. This one and the 1st prospect podcast offer an nice ying to the standard podcast's yang.
Keep it up guys!
My vote goes to Diaz. How can a professional athlete who looks to be in reasonable shape have such a large, round head?
My second vote would go to Clippard's legs. Not sure what he's got going on there...
I don't look up to athletes at this point in my life either, but others do. Most of these people/kids can be highly impressionable too.
I don't need to like a player, but i like to know that I can respect them at the very least.
I never advocated trading Osuna either. My orginal comment was that "not caring what a player does outside of baseball as long as they yield results" is silly and not a tune I sing to.
OPs claim was that he doesn't care what Osuna does as long as he gets wins. That's not right. I'm not convicting him of anything as of yet. If he is found guilty though, I certainly won't look at him the same way I once did.
Well, I think most of that is because of the start Vlad Jr has gotten off to in AA. He's been rediculous. He's gotten better at every level.
Personally I think there is a pretty large gap between Vlad and Bichette. Vlad has generational talent and MVP upside. Bichette doesn't have the same loud tools and likely has more of an above average/all-star type upside.
