    Just to be clear - I'm not talking about 2018 Ramirez. He's clearly useless now (he's struggled to rebound after an injury right?). I'm talking about what we thought we had in 2016. I suspected Verdugo had better projectable tools, but he's certainly not shown it yet (although he's hitting well in AAA so far this year). Your tool report looks better than Fangraph's too btw.

    Sorry - I'm just curious why people are so interested in him. Verdugo 2015 - 108 wRC+ in A, .325 OBP, .394 SLG (age 19) 2016 - 113 wRC+ in AA, .336 OBP, .407 SLG (age 20) 2017 - 118 wRC+ in AAA, .389 OBP, .436 SLG (age 21) Harold Ramirez 2013 - 133 wRC+ in A-, .354 OBP, .409 SLG (age 18) 2014 - 117 wRC+ in A, .364 OBP, .402 SLG (age 19) 2015 - 163 wRC+ in A+, .399 OBP, .458 SLG (age 20) 2016 - 112 wRC+ in AA, .354 OBP, .401 SLG (age 21) 2017 - Current: BUST Verdugo may have better raw power (seen some of that in AAA this year) and he throws better - but offensively, these 2 were pretty comparable IMO... and FWIW, I never said NO to Happ for Verdugo - I just wondered why people were interested in him. Low K% seems like his best tool at the moment. Maybe some untapped power?

    What's the interest in him? He looks like Harold Ramirez. No power, no speed, no on base skills
  4. Brownie19
    Anyone know anything about these prospects?

    Nationals acquired RHP Kelvin Herrera from the Royals for 3B Kelvin Gutierrez, OF Blake Perkins and RHP Yohanse Morel. He's a rental. He didn't fetch anything of interest unless Morel, who's 17 is a high touted international signing.
  6. Brownie19
    Not me - I hope he goes in a massive slump.
  7. Brownie19
    Yes - I think times have changed (even though that was only a few years ago). The Astros didn't give up as much as the Cubs to get multiple years of G.Cole.

    I might be missing your sarcasm, but in terms of route, positioning and tracking the ball - no, I don't. RF has an extra throw (RF to 3rd base) you have to make, although in general there are fewer balls hit to RF. Personally, based on Teoscar's route running and strong arm - he seems like perfect fit in RF. Put Grichuk and Pillar in LF and CF where there are more opportunities. The only thing I can't of that makes LF easier than RF is ball park configuration, or if someone struggles with balls slicing away from them (in which case LF would get fewer of those than RF). But that would seem negligible overall.

    I agree. You'd have to catch Cashman in pure desperation for this to happen. It would probably take an injury to one of their starters - and he's probably have to be drunk. I'd give up JD and Happ in a heartbeat for Frasier. Bird will probably be hurt by then and JD can slide into 1st for them.
  10. Brownie19
    That doesn't make any sense to me unless it's a mental thing.
  11. Brownie19
    apparently Evan White has the same scouting report. Can play CF, but we put him at first because he's sooooo good there.
  12. Brownie19
    I have to think Clint Frasier is the ceiling for what we'd get for Happ. Kyle Lewis is more likely. Although he has the pedigree, he's 22 and in high A ball striking out 5 times more than he walks. He certainly looks like that knee injury set him back big time. The M's farm system is awful. I'd attempt a back flip if we got Frasier for Happ.
  13. Brownie19
    We'll probably get all the savings from Bec. College seniors get like $5K - $10K
  14. Brownie19
    No - it's a joke as a couple of years ago people were saying Cody Bellinger is athletic enough to play CF, but because he was SOOOO good defensively at 1st base that they were going to leave him there.
  15. Brownie19
    He plays CF Cody Bellinger...
  16. Brownie19
    Jon Harris with 2 good starts in a row. Nice to see Biggio and Alford hit bombs.
  17. Brownie19
  18. Brownie19
    He's striking out 27% of the time in high A ball. He is not going to be the next 19 in the majors.

    Just a joke Spank. Gruber's a complete loser. Why would the Jay's even invite him - let alone think Gruber and Barker would be a good segment?
  20. Brownie19
    I too would elect to shut down any segment with Kevin Barker.
  21. Brownie19
    I mean - f*** Keith Law, but I thought everyone's said Kevin Smith is a stud defensively. When he says Kevin Smith isn't a long-term SS "at all" is that because he doesn't think he'll hit enough to be a regular?
  22. Brownie19
    Why's that? No need to take it slow because he's driving now!
  23. Brownie19
    Johnny Mac posted 1.0 WAR in 2007 when his wRC+ was 59. That's pretty f***ing impressive.
  24. Brownie19
    I read a bar in Baltimore is giving away free shots to customers every time Chris Davis gets a hit.
  25. Brownie19
    All I'm saying is that if you're in a s***** position and want to get out of it, there are always going to be options/temptations to take the faster/easier way out (cheat, steal, etc.) - all of which create moral dilemmas and negative side efforts, or you have the option to do it the hard and honest way and work your ass off. Perhaps I'm over simplifying this as the DR players do both (take PEDs and work their ass off). But a DR player can work harder at being a better baseball player. More training, learn other languages, educate himself on the game and how to better transition to baseball in NA, etc. I refuse to believe that DR people have no choice, so just let them do PEDs, or that people in the getto have no other choice, let them steal and sell drugs. There's always choice. The honest way may take longer and have a bigger chance of failure, but it's still a choice.
