    The Rockies almost never sell. But yeah overall with the s***** Central divisions keeping a lot of teams in it to go along with the 3 WCs there are a lot of potential buyers and not many sellers. Going to make the prices sky high again like last year.

    FYI Cody Bellinger is 4 for his last 37 with just 1 extra base hit. He has a career low exit velocity this year and hasn't hit a homer since April.
  3. Terminator
    Bellinger is down to a 105 wRC+ FYI

    Wow!

    He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight. And he saved our season.

    For comparison's sake, Jasson Dominguez had a ton of hype as an international signing. He's currently a consensus top 60ish prospect ranging from #47 on MLB Pipeline to #67 on Baseball America. He's slashing .207/.353/.385 in the Eastern League as a 20 year old. Another metric in Orelvis' favor. Before the year Zips does their 3 year projections and by 2025 they think he'll be a 3 WAR player in the bigs as a 23 year old. That would be quite the asset. After what presumably will be a big year for Orelvis, those projections are likely to go up.

    Opposite field line drive single off Rodon? Wow!

    Sorry that was a little bit overkill. I was in working all night and got a little too in depth after switching to baseball talk. In short, I think last year threw up some red flags so you are right to worry about him but some of it can be excused by his age. He seems to have turned a corner and is getting his prospect shine back. It's not just a BABIP fueled hot streak either. His underyling numbers like his Ks as well as his pop ups are improving and this has been going on for 7 weeks and counting. Sometimes prospect development isn't linear and straightforward. They can sometimes zig zag their way into becoming MLB starters or even stars.

    That thing was obliterated!

    They highlighted some concern but they weren't THAT bad for a 20 year old in AA. Yeah but you are doing it wrong because you aren't applying his age/level and you also are discounting 7+ weeks of him HAMMERING the ball this year as nothing but a "hot streak." If a guy is young I think it's fair to suggest that a 7+ week trend of him hitting the s*** out of the ball after adjusting to a new level might be due to development and improvement. This isn't a 30 year old vet having two good weeks after 2.5 years of being s***. Orelvis also hit the s*** out of the ball in 2019 and 2021 and made some Top 100 prospect lists so his success isn't limited to just these past 7 weeks, he's had a lot of success for the majority of his pro career. I can't even follow your logic here. You thought he was a legit star before but now that he's hammering the ball again it's just a hot streak because he had an iffy year after an aggressive promotion? Prospect development isn't always linear. Yes. Maybe temporarily. It's actually the opposite at least until he proves otherwise.
  11. Terminator
    The Orelvis "hot streak" continues. 3 for 4 today with a double. Slashing .225/.322/.530 on the year and those numbers are climbing fast. He was slashing .089/.169/.266 on May 9th.
  12. Terminator
    Playing 4D Chess out there with his pinch hitting subs. Skip Poomaker tried matching him but then Schneider outsmarted him again by putting in Mayza to get the double play.
  13. Terminator
    I don't think we've scored in 18 innings.
  14. Terminator
    lol

    BREAKING NEWS: Boomer-aged coach has boomer political views That isn't meant as a slight to anyone who says this could lead to something because it certainly could. But I really hope it doesn't. I do not want the Jays to be the only team to remove a player and coach over political/culture war views. There's a lot of players and coaches who agree with these guys and it wouldn't be ideal to be the one team seen as punishing these people.
  16. Terminator
    Big mistake. Never ignore the age/level of a prospect my friend.
  17. Terminator
    You are making two false assumptions. First, his previous numbers weren't even that bad for being the youngest player in the league but you talk about those numbers like it's proof positive evidence that he's a bust. Second, you seem to assume that his month and a half stretch of showing improved numbers across the board is more than likely a hot streak when the plausible explanation is that he's simply developing. To answer your question, at this point he seems like an extremely high risk prospect. He could continue to figure things out and become a prototypical power hitting 3B or major league pitchers could exploit his approach and he's a guy who flames out after some cups of coffee. But I think he has a pretty good chance to become an MLB starter (2 WAR player) and will put that as his 50th percentile projection or so? But there is obviously a long ways to go as he's just 21.
  18. Terminator
    Ok and what about the past month and a half? Do those stats not count? Everything is getting better, even his pop up rate. Write him off if you want but I think he's developing pretty well. Last year was an aggressive promotion and it lead to a blip on his minor league numbers that showed some concern, but he has turned a corner and is raking.
  19. Terminator
    Logo on the side is a little bit big but otherwise they aren't bad. I probably wouldn't buy one either way though.
  20. Terminator
    You have to account for him being one of the youngest players at those levels. He's STILL young for his current level, even a year later.
  21. Terminator
    Yeah something is clicking for sure. April numbers were garbage, his May numbers were really good thanks to a power explosion but his June numbers are showing a guy with a good approach. .300/.400/.588 slashline with 10 Ks and 7 BBs in 51 ABs. He's going to end the year in AAA as a 21 year old with back to back 30 homer seasons in the upper levels of the minors. And he might have a good slash line this year to go with it.
  22. Terminator
    Do I see us as being able to win 87 games and get into the playoffs as the WC3 at which point anything can happen? Yeah, I suppose so.
  23. Terminator
    It's a telling part of the schedule. They are only a game back of the last WC spot though. If they play even just decent in those 18 games they could rise as high as WC2.

    I'm going to give them until the ASB but if they don't go on a run before then then they need to become sellers. Chapman, Whit, Kiermaier, Belt and some of the relievers like Garcia should hit the block. Not going to get a ton for those guys but if they can get lotto tickets and upper minors depth they should do it. Can play Horowitz and call up Davis Schneider, Otto Lopez and others to see what they've got. Get Manoah back up and/or put Francis in the rotation and take the training wheels off. Things like that. It's hard to see it right now, but we've got a ways to go before we hit that point. After this Marlins series we've got to win a good chunk of games though. Can't say I'm overly confident but I do have some optimism that they can pound on some of the teams coming up.
