He can't throw strikes but he has elite stuff, would be worth picking him up and stashing him. Basically a younger Axford without a track record.

Also you have to be uh...kinda good to post a +10 WAR season, like his teammate has, the leader in WAR all time through age 25. It's been 14 games, it'll be unreal if Ohtani surpasses 5-6 WAR, let alone competing for the best single season in the modern era. People might need to tamper expectations a bit.

The farm system is pretty comfortably in the top 10 in the MLB. We have generational prospect Vladimir Guerrero Jr., son of HOF player of the same name who played primarily for the Expos (the only other Canadian MLB team in existence) and the Angels. Other prospects of note include Bo Bichette, who plays in the same minor league team as Guerrero Jr., Nate Pearson - our top pitching prospect, Anthony Alford, Teoscar Hernandez (not quite a prospect as he's a bit older and has MLB experience), Danny Jansen - top catching prospect and breakout guy from last season, and a few others. Check out the MiLB recaps on the front page as well as the prospects thread for more in-depth analysis and to gain more familiarity with the farm system. It's been highly revamped since the previous GM traded many prospects away (in his defense he did acquire ans develop a good number of them) and we're very excited for the future with our current front office in charge. Basically the team is in a state of retooling while we try our best to put forward a viable MLB product. It has the talent to make the playoffs this season, but it is not one of the top tier teams in the league such as the Houston Astros or the LA Dodgers on the NL side so we'll be content with anything further than a won Wild Card game. A number of the prospects which I mentioned are pretty advanced and should see playing time in the majors as early as this season or the next, with others not too far behind. The new group have done a great job of addressing depth both on the MLB and MiLB side of things.

Did you just assume my time zone?

This just in: Mike Trout is pretty good at baseball. More at 11.

Oh well, we got another series win. Keep that streak going in the next one.

The Maile breakout continues.

Holy f*** Tyler Clippard is currently sporting a sub 10% GB rate. That's insane.

Garbage hits FFS.

That was an amazing pick, unfortunate that he couldn't get the transfer to second.

Oh f*** off with that hit.

Axford please, just find it within yourself not to walk the ballpark.

Unreal PA by Maile.

Diaz keeps crushing the baseball. Way to get the run back boys!

In his first career appearance, it was incredible. Are we sure it was Texas though?

Wow the absolute madman got out of it. This could be huge.

Holy f*** that was some strike 2 mistake pitch.

Omg Showalter go f*** yourself.

It looks pretty clearly fair tbh.

Nice play Grichuk.

I knew that would come back to haunt me.

Estrada is so great because a lot of times even when he misses badly the hitters are so fooled. Hitters are absolutely sitting on one pitch at all times and they just get f***ing rekt when it's not the one they were guessing.

Solarte is fearless, he swung out of his shoes on that 3-0 pitch lmao. That ball was drilled.

Chris Davis is some kind of lost. I feel bad for the guy honestly.

Lol Ngoepe.
