    Why not just say a Keith Hernandez profile, who is kind of the gold standard for that kind of 1B archetype.

    I think they basically just wanted to give them one more AB since they're both in funks so it's a low stakes time to sort of work on stuff. And as for Leo, maybe they wanted to give him a proper start so his family could be in attendance? Kind of s***** to make your debut as a pinch hitter with no one watching.

    I think JRam is just the classic example of a player that's good at everything but not the best at any one component. He's a great hitter but career 129 wRC+ is more really good than great, solid but unspectacular defender, incredibly smart runner but not a stolen base fiend topping the leaderboards. He'll get his laurels and hopefully he also doesn't have a drop off so he can solidify his candidacy, but you can see why this type of player might fall out of fanfare a bit more than someone with a more flashy style. Of course, the Cleveland market thing is what's holding his fame back the most, if he was a big market player you'd be getting fed Jose Ramirez down your throat on a regular basis.

    For what it's worth, Arenado is at 54.5 bWAR and has a ton of accolades - 8x AS, 5x Silver Slugger, 10 GG, 6 of which became platinum gloves as recognition for being the best defender in baseball. I think Coors effect will dampen him, as is the bar to clear the 3B HOF discussion, but he's up there for best 3B defenders ever with a good reputation around the league. It's a very Scott Rolen like resume, and Rolen limped to an induction. Rolen was the better player thus far obviously, but Arenado is "only" 33 so there could be a couple of dead cat bounce seasons to prop up his candidacy. If father time caught up to Goldy it's going to be on the fence. The 2022 MVP is gonna boost him candidacy massively though. If he retired tomorrow he'd probably fight it out on the ballot until the last few years, with a decent chance to make it in.

    Francisco Lindor is sitting at 49 career fWAR, and this is still his age 30 season. Looking like a very probably HOF, he also had a pretty impressive 7 year peak that looks a bit worse than it is due to the shortened 2020 year, and some hardware to his name - 4x AS, 3x Silver Slugger, 2x GG.

    Garrett Crochet is a legitimate ace. Already seems like he's been around forever, although he's only 25, but with him debuting during his draft year the White Sox only have two more years of control after this season.

    Judge esque oppo shot from a 5'10 (at best) guy lol. Davis Schneider is unreal, what a shot. And then Bo follows it up with a first pitch weak tapper to first base smh

    I don't think there's any indication here that the Dodgers think Biggio is any more than what he already is. He's at 0.5 WAR, just a warm body utility man with MLB experience that's better than replacement level and won't complain about his role if he's rarely used. His physical tools have greatly deteriorated, there's no 3+ WAR monster hiding in there or anything, and the Dodgers must know that.

    Vlad’s gotten a steady diet of hanging breaking balls from Rea this entire game. 0-3
  10. Orgfiller
    Figured they would test Schneider’s arm.
  11. Orgfiller
    Carlos you're aware Gelof has a 63 wRC+ at the moment right?
  12. Orgfiller
    The Phillies have been personally responsible for turning a couple of > .500 at the time of play teams into sub .500. Strength of schedule is a thing of course, and it only becomes apparent the longer in the season you go, but as Laika points out, if these teams were worse their % of good teams faced would be much bigger as they’re handing out wins to make them look better. We’re hanging on close to .500 almost entirely on the backs of the White Sox lol.

    His fastball sucks but it's the only reason it makes his breaking pitches actually decent. His lack of consistent upper echelon velo is still extremely disappointing to me, he should never be throwing a fastball below 97. If his command was better it wouldn't be as much of an issue, but he's very prone to completely losing his release point and start missing everywhere including the middle of the zone.
  14. Orgfiller
    I like how Yimi decided to f*** around and bust out an elite changeup to Stowers out of nowhere. "f*** me in particular I guess", he must be thinking after that AB. He rarely ever throws that, never stood a chance.
  15. Orgfiller
    Not that I’m a proponent for using this to replace journalists, but they might just have to consider verbally spewing all of this stuff into a speech to text tool, and then use ChatGPT or something to summarize it for them, then the editor can just go and see if it gets across the important info.

    They haven't stopped putting out the lists, but they keep shooting themselves in the foot by trying to come out with extremely in-depth detailed team lists despite not having nearly the amount of staff required for such an undertaking. So as a result they're in constant catch up mode putting out lists throughout the year. They just released the Marlins today, and are missing 10 teams with half the AL not done. It's a thankless task that they never seem to rectify, nobody cares about an org's bottom 10 35 FV prospects, just put out everyone's top 20 or something and then spend the rest of the season hyping up helium/less heralded guys that could be something.

    Almost gotta wonder if his bat is comically small. Like in order to stop drilling the ball into the ground he changed to a lighter bat to give him a few extra mph of bat speed with increased bat control, but now when he demolishes a ball it's just missing some oomph from the decreased bat weight.
  18. Orgfiller
    Some of the best swings we've seen from Vlad this year these last two ABs. Two outside pitches driven opposite field with authority.
  19. Orgfiller
    This doesn't disprove the point or anything, but I think it's in bad faith to not include Varsho in this exercise, who was traded for using international guys that were signed by the team (Gurriel and Moreno) in order to get his years of cheap team control. Yes, there is otherwise a serious lack of homegrown talent, but trading said homegrown talent for young controllable players shouldn't go against them.
  20. Orgfiller
    Would be pretty unheard of for an independent league signing to make the jump straight to the majors. He's almost certainly assigned to one of our levels, as everyone shifts a level up to make up for the MLB pitcher spot (Manoah) being replaced by a minor leaguer who's called up.
  21. Orgfiller
    Under the hood he's not really significantly different than his other seasons. The hard hit, avg exit velos are all in line with his previous hitting profile and still indicates a dangerous hitter exists in there. The biggest drop offs have been in barrel rate, and more importantly the plate discipline -> K/BB rate. Julio's always been quite the hacker, he's generally been in the 20-30th percentile in chase and whiff rates to go along with K and BB rate, this season it's all the way down to 10-15th percentile. He's swinging at everything and whiffing a bunch, which could be a result of pressing at not seeing the results from hitting the ball hard and getting hits. It's a Bichette profile with a grade or two lower in hit tool and a grade or two above in power. Julio (and Bo similarly) will be fine, but this kind of profile can lead to some pretty bad looking slumps. The luck will even out and the power will carry him to a hot streak to make him look like he made an adjustment when really all he needs is a slight improvement in plate discipline.

    IKF is smoking Vladdy and Bo in ISO lol
  23. Orgfiller
    Honestly I don’t think this is impacting the wear and tear all that much, players like RAJ aren’t treating these games with the same intensity, it’s just additional practice. Unfortunately Acuña is built different, and not in a good way. He clearly had bad knees if this is already such a major issue this early in his career.
  24. Orgfiller
    Thinking too small. -Trade Bo to the Dodgers for a bunch of MLB-ready stuff +1 -Sign Kim in the offseason to replace Bo +1 -Extend Vlad, Jansen and Kooch -> Trade Vlad for MLB ready pieces, extend Jansen + Kooch, sign Juan Soto for all the moneys to play 1B for the next decade The division will be easy to win.
  25. Orgfiller
    I think the 3 to 5 includes retaining your challenge on a successful appeal.
