    Javy Baez is a career 92 wRC+ hitter. But he's good defensively at multiple positions (great at some) and is a good base runner - which is where he gets most of his value from. From the reports I've read, Gurriel isn't good defensively at multiple positions and thus is going to need to be a better hitter than Baez to be an MLB utility player (and a much better hitter to be a starting player). Gurriel's going to need to get his K% down to the low teens if he's going to keep his BB% below 5%.

    Maybe, but he's also missed almost full year and a half of development between coming over and being hurt last year. The best idea is to work on it in the offseason, but if they want him to change his approach, it's significantly easier to do that in the minors. The pressure to succeed at the ML level is too intense.

    That doesn't make cheating 'right' Do we just accept that those less fortunate are going to steal and cheat to get out of the cycle? Should they instead worker harder and become educated instead (even if that means a higher % of them fail)? Should we give them more help/aid to narrow the gap? (I'd say yes if they are the latter, no if they are the former). It's a great debate.

    I agree, but he does explain it in the comments below. Simply saying that SRF and Reese are working to rebuild their prospect status so they can be part of the future.

    I disagree. 2018 is over for the Jays. Gurriel should be in the minors working on some semblance of plate discipline. We all know 20 K% with 2 BB% isn't going to lead to success at the ML level.
  6. Brownie19
    Interesting debate. It's like saying those in the getto shouldn't steal and deal drugs. I understand why they do it, but I'm not sure we should condone what they are doing either. The counter argument is that instead of cheating, they could simply work harder.

    Oh. Meh.

    Radio scouts - as in we scout prospects without seeing them? Is that the reference?
  13. Brownie19
    When do you think he'd be due for a promotion?

    His BABIP is back up where it was in MAR/APR. My big concern is he went from a 10.1 BB%, 21.7 K% in MAR/APR to a 2.3 BB%, 25.6 K% in JUN (and basically the same in April). That s*** doesn't seem sustainable.

    Fisher Cats with a 1 hit shutout. We got the good Jon Harris tonight. f*** that guy has been so inconsistent and disappointing. Put it together man. Hiraldo continues to hit as advertised.

    Awesome. I'm pretty open man. We love our beer, we love a good burger place, we love a good steakhouse, we love a great Indian/Thai place. Basically looking for non-chain restaurants that make kick ass food. I ran into some Philly guys at spring training and they recommended the Havre de Grace area for golf between Philly and Baltimore (I think I looked up Bulle Rock Golf Course). We probably don't have a lot of spare time in Philly, but if there's a couple must sees - then hit me with it and we'll see if we can squeeze it in.

    I love those Ohio Dominican's...

    wRC+ up to 115. He's historically been a slow starter. Maybe now that he dumped that crazy beech - he's back to raking.
  20. Brownie19
    Thanks man. I actually went on a high school trip to Washington and I think that's pretty much exactly what we toured when we were there (I saw the Dalai Lama in Arlington Cemetery - well, we saw his limo as he was touring through). As a high school kid I really enjoyed all the museums and places to see - but I suspect I'll have a whole new appreciation for it this time.
  21. Brownie19
    He actually rebounded and was hitting good this year. wRC+ of 128. Not classic Miggy, but still very good.
  22. Brownie19
    I'll give you my full run down upon return. I think we'll be in Washington for a couple of days. I'm really excited.

    So I'm heading on a baseball/golf trip with 3 friends in July. We're going to visit Washington, Baltimore and Philly. The ball games are as follows: July 21 - ATL @ WAS July 23 - BOS @ BALT July 24 - LA @ PHI We'll be squeezing in 3 rounds of golf along the way too. We're pretty pumped about the match ups as the likes of ATL and PHI got good sooner than we expected. I'm looking for suggestions or recommendations on: - Places to sit in each stadium (or where not to sit) - Places to eat in each City - Things to do in each City - Golf recommendations And any other tips that might help us out.

    Did Buck retire???

    If Bec, Brodt and Stevenson all go for $10K, that saves us $627,200. If we save 10% on Conine, that puts us at $762,200. We're still stretching to make up for $1,047,100 we went over on Groshans and Kloffenstein. Sorry Wymer, you're going to have to take a hair cut bud.
