    I like targeting Sato but he had a 66.9% contact rate in NPB this year. He's going to strikeout over 30% of the time in MLB and never walked as much as Murakami. Pretty risky profile I think. How the Blue Jays evaluate his OF defence is a wildcard too. His isolated slugging has been over .300 in each of the last two years. The power is real.

    Vladimir is going to have an off-season of introspection and improvement. 5 months of consistent and focused workouts. There won't be just March instagram posts of before-and-afters that leave the viewer guessing which is which. He will work with Aaron Judge's swing coach and tinker to produce a much shorter swing and one that is able to have a productive attack angle. He will be thinking damage with every swing and fist-pumps will be reserved for extra-base hits, not sacrifice flies poked the other way. He will finally marry his natural talent with an intelligent approach to the game. I'm expecting mvp votes next season and 50+ WAR over the remainder of the contract. This disastrous year will ultimately be worth it!

    He would probably need to develop a changeup or splitter this offseason

    Ty France has a 142 wRC+ in 450 PA somehow

    91 rest-of-season wRC+ projection from Steamer for Bateman now. Seems a bit optimistic but I'll take it. This play yesterday was maybe the first one he "didn't make" https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=42ecb3d6-ebf5-3dbe-933b-69356f4e86fe But then you see that it had a 10% catch probability according to Statcast. He got there and just boxed it up a bit. The defence looks completely legit. He's getting great jumps.

    That's crazy that Ketel Marte can hit the ball 117mph from both sides of the plate.

    Bateman catches that!

    Haha. I was waiting to see it on Statcast this morning as I thought that play was much harder than it looked. He might just be an OF Andres Gimenez with a bit more speed and a bit less power. If he's able to be 10-15 runs above average in the outfield with 4-6 more with baserunning there's a pretty good path to being a 2-3 win player each year even if he only has an 80 wRC+. The contact rate is really high but he does seem to be swinging a wet noodle a bit. Maybe he can be a .340 BABIP guy with his speed and starting in the LHH batter's box.

    This play had a 10% catch probability according to Statcast and he made it look relatively easy https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=b2881fd0-32bc-3fd3-9bf0-27c0be1f8c7f The only play he "hasn't made" was this Jarren Duran double which had a 5% catch probability. Maybe if he breaks his neck crashing into the wall he would've had a chance https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=6b7f0d11-2ffa-36ed-bea4-db176ac14ea6 He's now at 3 outs above average in just 95 innings

    Is Sportsnet ever going to figure out their cameras on balls hit into the corner?
  11. 43211234
    Idiot usage is the correct term. He's faced 95 lefty batters and just 68 righties this season. I get that teams pinch-hit but surely they could have been much smarter about his matchups.
  12. 43211234
    Jomboy sounds like he had some dental work done!
  13. 43211234
    For Alan Roden and Kendry Rojas according to my sources
  14. 43211234
    One hopper to the shortstop. Exactly what Varsho wants. Nicely done
  15. 43211234
    Tucker Toman with a .939 OPS in high A. Still just 22.
  16. 43211234
    Jay Harry with 9 total bases in Buffalo tonight

    Fenway needs to be demolished Build a stadium with real dimensions
  18. 43211234
    I think I'll forever be haunted by that game 7. But that's the all-time single season postseason hits record holder. He couldn't have done much more last October.

    I notice that Juan Sanchez had his 13th error of the season today. So the defence seems to be a work in progress.
  20. 43211234
    I threw in the cultural adjustment part of my Juan Sanchez post in at the last minute. I intended for the jump from the DSL to A ball as being the most significant adjustment. If ever there was a first 15 games to conveniently ignore, Juan Sanchez's seemed as good as any. Fangraphs still has the 25 year old SF Giants pitching prospect as the player image on the Blue Jays player's page https://www.fangraphs.com/players/juan-sanchez/sa3005444/stats/pitching https://www.fangraphs.com/players/juan-sanchez/sa3067129/stats/batting Justice for Juan!

    My source says he's 5'5, 275 pounds of pure baseball talent

    The ball that went 400 feet was the lowest exit velocity of the 4 swings that inning.
  23. 43211234
    Austin Martin suddenly has a 108 wRC+. Breakout on pause for now.
  24. 43211234
    Justin Gonzalez did have the scientifically accurate cultural adjustment period. 85 wRC+ in his first 15 games. A 125 from then on out. Gonzalez played his 15th game on May 23 while Sanchez had played that many by May 8. It seems the Red Sox eased him in so the Cultural Adjustment period wouldn't affect his batting line as much. We'll see what Juan Sanchez's numbers look like at the end of the season.
  25. 43211234
    Juan Sanchez first 15 games at Dunedin: .103/.200/.121 9.2BB%, 30.8K%, .017 ISO wRC+ of 0 17 games since (excluding today) .288/.382/.500 9.2BB%, 26.3K%, .212 ISO wRC+ 138 Cherry picking of course. But going straight from the DSL to A-ball, plus the cultural adjustments, deserves some leeway.
