A normal kid his age isn't an above average major league hitter lol.
-
When Bo was Vlad's age while the latter has been in the MLB, the former was putting up decent-not-great numbers in AA and AAA with a 50 game cup of coffee in the MLB.
-
Dude, Vlad hasn't even turned 22. His first two seasons have been at ages 20 and 21, following a complete and utter annihilation of the minor leagues at the ages that. Throughout the entirety of his career, most "good" prospects would either still be in college or high school, or getting what might be considered an aggressive promotion to A+/AA. He projects highly because the kind of guys that are above average hitters at 20 and 21 with good K and BB rates and decent power tend to go on to be exceptional hitters. This is not to mention that what he did in the minors and at the age that he did it is basically a Hall of Fame level talent. For as much as the projections don't like Teoscar as much as we might, what do you expect? The entirety of his breakout came in a 50 game sample with an elevated BABIP and worse BB rate. 2020 was a small sample size, guys put up a great 2-3 months all the time and then go back to being their usual self. I hope Teoscar builds on his offensive breakout, but the truth is the most likely scenario is he's exactly who he's been his whole career, maybe a slight upgrade on that.

General Blue Jays Discussion Thread (2021)
Orgfiller replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
So is every Coors guy's. It's so hard to measure the Coors effect on a player who's never played away from there before. We never saw if someone like Todd Helton could get it done elsewhere. Dexter Fowler did well post Coors. Tulo was already broken, CarGo was already washed. Matt Holliday did great. Someone like Chris Iannetta continued being the same guy. I think there's good reason to believe Story is a legitimately excellent player and very capable hitter. -
Because people want to see one of the best players of all time sniff the postseason? It's pathetic the extent to which the Angels have squandered away Trout's prime despite their main flaw being apparent and unaddressed since he first started for them.
-
Awful transaction for the Angels, the Orioles did very well here.
-
Garrett Richards has already been signed by the Red Sox.
-
Classic Angels move. Could've probably bought Odorizzi and have some more stability/upside but hoping that 33 year old injury prone Alex Cobb bounces back is the way to go instead.
-
I honestly think it's worse if he doesn't opt out. That means the Rockies were willing to help the Cards load the "burden" of the deal and in the process they didn't even increase the value of the return? Usually when you eat salary it's so that the pieces you're getting back are worth something. Even if the deal becomes an albatross the idiot Rockies will still brunt a portion of that, and they're paying as if it already is and not that Arenado could get back to his 5-6 WAR star level immediately for at least half of that. Even if Arenado was a rental this in an all-time terrible return IMO. The Texas Rangers traded one year of Lance Lynn for Dane Dunning+. Dane Dunning alone is worth more than everything the Rockies are receiving here.

The Cardinals to acquire Nolan Arenado from the Rockies
Orgfiller replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
This is basically my reasoning in this trade. An embarrassing deal for the Rockies. For the second time in 3 years the Cardinals pry a star away from the NL West and while the DBacks return was far more reasonable they've given up no one they'll miss. Impressive work. -
So I guess the real question at this point is why would the Rockies settle for a package of trash instead of asking for one good prospect/young player and some unknown lottery tickets? Jhon Torres and Austin f***ing Gomber is the best they could do for a 5 WAR superstar? This seems like the package you give up for Kris Bryant because you think he's past it not a guy averaging 5.5 WAR the last 4 seasons and a third of a bad season that no one cares about.
-
If he was guessing why would he be guessing those guys in particular lol? It's definitely his sources telling him those guys are included or were heavily discussed.
-
It's weird because on one hand the Cardinals are giving up a package based on the assumption that Arenado opts out but then why the f*** are the Rockies eating a potential $50M+ of his contract?
-
Don't forget to cite your sources in the future Carlos. https://www.prospectslive.com/fantasy/2020/2/26/the-best-fantasy-baseball-sleeper-that-everyone-has-forgotten-about
-
Good for both parties. Hopefully we get some fans later into the season so he gets a nice send-off if he calls it a career.
-
The past 3 years haven't been enough indication that Merryweather quite literally can't hold it together? He couldn't even stay healthy as a reliever in the month or so that he was up lol. We should consider ourselves lucky if he can become a 2 IP reliever who gets to 60 innings in a season more than once.
-
Yeah I think people expected him to be pumping 97+ from the bullpen and that just wasn't the case. He's a middling fastball + decent slider reliever with zero control. People stuck on his "potential" are living 5+ years into the past.
-
That opinion is too mainstream. Law always has to be the odd man out.
-
What is this, 2015? SRF is who he is, a reliever with decent stuff who doesn't know where the ball is going. One year he may be able to be more consistent with his location and put up a very good season out of the bullpen, the others he'll probably struggle maintaining a K/BB ratio near or above 2.
-
This. If Winckowski doesn't appear on Radio Scouts no one on this board cares that he's included here. He's even rule 5 eligible, so would need to be added to the 40-man soon anyway.
-
Matz has good stuff, I'm sure some of our internal metrics see some upside in him.
-
So basically clearing 40-man roster room. Can't be disappointed with giving them up even if Winckowski was a nice story to follow. Let's hope we can unlock Matz's talent.
-
Read the post again connorp.
-
Could see the Mets getting involved. They still have one too many 1B/DH types and there's no DH, so Dom Smith could be going the other way. On the other hand that would have the Rockies actually addressing a position of need sensibly and that just sounds too good to be true.

Masahiro Tanaka returns to Japan
Orgfiller replied to TwistedLogic's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Can't be mad at this. This same guy also said he wanted $15M from the Yankees so it seems like it was Yankees, overpay or bust for him. Would have loved to add him but at least he's not going to a contender.
