    Prospect watch with Orelvis at 3B, Roden at RF, Schreck at LF. Aside from that Leo Jimenez is at SS.

    Kasevich is an interesting guy to follow. His floor is all given by how playable he is at SS. As noted, he's a big guy with an okay arm, so if that means he eventually has to move to a more offensively demanding position like 3B it could really limit his utility. It's encouraging to see that his exit velos aren't quite as bleak as his power output indicates. Whether that means he can dramatically alter his swing to tap into more power or simply give him a higher floor as a high contact, hard lines drives type remains to be seen. If the defense at SS is good he probably profiles as a decently high probability 2 WAR type of guy.

    Francis' stuff looks decent, fastball velo held up well, good command of his pitches. Only one swing and miss however. Interesting to note that he featured his slider 30% of the time, mostly against RHH. This was a pitch he hardly used in 2024 so might be something he's working on to add depth to his arsenal.

    Nobody ever give Max Scherzer the ability to review balls and strikes lol. He's made some egregious calls in this outing. He's absolutely fooling some of the Cards' young hitters. 4 Ks, fastball looks solid and the rest of the arsenal looks like vintage post-prime Mad Max. Didn't see a single fastball below 92. So at worst it doesn't look as if the velo has declined relative to last season, and it's only the first outing in February.

    Thanks again for running this series Pendleton. A pleasure to follow along reminiscing on Blue Jays history as we pass the final dog days of winter.

    The biggest thing for Martinez, much like other young options like Wagner and Roden, is the defensive utility. If Orelvis could play a passable 3B I have no doubts he would be on the roster to begin the year. As it stands they've trying to hide him in 2B, and with Gimenez in the fold it's not a great look for his path to PT. A DH at 23 years old is tough to just put him on the roster.

    Scherzer looking pretty good in his first competitive pitches in blue. Sitting 92-93, reached back for 94 on a couple of occasions. Displayed the majority of his arsenal, mostly fastballs but showed slider, curveball, cutter and changeup. Two Ks. Loperfido took a scary hit against the wall playing defense. Running back on the ball, he stumbled and ended up tripping neck first into the CF padding. Had to leave the game for precautionary measures, moving his neck on the way out.

    If you remove the PA qualifier to 0 this actually adds 10 more names to the list in front of Vlad. Also I f***ing love not only that the table copies so neatly, but it keeps all the hyperlinks to guy's pages. This new forum rocks. Should be noted that Vlad is the second worst defender in this sample behind Kyle Schwarber, and is the 11th worst baserunner behind mostly 30+ year old catchers, old 1B, Alejandro Kirk, and Yandy Diaz.
  9. Orgfiller
    Soto has over double the career WAR that Vladdy has. Career wRC+ of 158 vs Vlad's 137. Career worst season was 3.7 WAR with a 146 wRC+, Vlad's (one year ago btw) was 1 WAR with a 118 wRC+. He's also a better baserunner - bad nonetheless, but not league worst - and defender - also bad, but not league worst. Soto is at least a tier above Vladdy. He rakes at a level of an all-time great, at his worst he's better than an average Vlad season.

    Meniscus tear would be a couple of months out at least no? At least if it requires surgery.
  11. Orgfiller
    Kirk always looks better in ST. If he wasn't so short and stubby he would look a lot more athletic. In the vids of him working out in the offseason and stuff he always looks to be in decent shape, he's just not particularly fit for a professional athlete.
  12. Orgfiller
    Nah it shows up but I think it also copies the formatting, so when you're in dark mode it's black font on a black background so you can hardly read it. This is what it looks like to other people reading your post on dark mode:

    I think it also makes it more likely that he opts out and gets the deal he always wanted next winter. 3/90 is a reasonable guarantee for him but it gives him the option to pull a Matt Chapman and get that cushy multi-year deal on his terms without the QO attached,
  14. Orgfiller
    TIL Carlos thinks Nick Kurtz is the next Freddie Freeman.
  15. Orgfiller
    If 29 year old Yoan Moncada is getting 1/$5MM then I can't see JDM topping this number honestly.

    I think literally just the money they got for him in the deal. The 2nd round pick is top 55 protected which might as well be literally nothing. I think they were just doing Indiana a solid. Can't say I understand it from a tax calculations perspective but I'm sure there was something minor to it.

    You actually thought they would keep Wiseman? He was out for the season on an expiring contract (with a club option that nobody was picking up).
  19. Orgfiller
    I don't see why the White Sox would prefer Nimmala over like, Yesavage for instance. Tiedemann I could understand not wanting due to the injury history, but they also can't be picky about acquiring a guy with his upside who is otherwise basically MLB ready.
  20. Orgfiller
    The only issue here is I could see the White Sox not wanting to move him until he rebuilds his value. Should go without saying that moving a guy not following his 5 WAR season but after the disastrous one that came after would make them look like even more of a laughingstock than they already are. They're probably waiting until at least the first 2 months of the season to see if he shows a pulse before selling on a high again. Of course there's risk to that, Robert's skills could have declined as a result of numerous injuries, or he could yet again get injured early in the year to deplete his trade value even more. With all of that said, the conversation you would think starts at one of our top 3 prospects. Otherwise they have no reason to deal him.
  21. Orgfiller
    30 million for the first year seems solid for him but I also don’t know if he can beat this AAV if he opts out after year one. He’d need to put up a 140 wRC+ to be offered a 3+ year deal.
  22. Orgfiller
    As long as the OP is updated with the lineups/pitching matchups prior to gametime it really doesn't matter when the GDT is created or by whom. Definitely no issues with creating the game thread early in the day.
  23. Orgfiller
    Fantastic writeup. A bit depressing that all of these guys are those whose stock is down considerably, but they probably wouldn't be in the back half of the top 20 if this wasn't the case. Definitely a ceiling over floor group of players.

    Danny Coulombe signs with the Twins. Cheap deal, 1 year at $3MM. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/twins-to-sign-danny-coulombe.html

    One of the remaining decent LHP relief options, Danny Coulombe, signs with the Twins for 1/$3MM. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/02/twins-to-sign-danny-coulombe.html You'd think an arm like this would have garnered more interest, and the Orioles did decline a very cheap $4MM option. There must be some significant concern with his medicals.
