    I didn't realize he said "this year". My comments were more based on his career peak.

    Can I answer no to both of those questions? What WAR calculation are you using? Fangraph's says Clemens 1997 WAR was 10.7 while Baseball Reference says it was 11.9....both of which are topped by Barry Bonds in 2002 (12.7) I'd love to see Ohtani be that good. It would be fantastic for baseball, but he loses value because he DH's and is a part time player - so it's incredibly unlikely he'll approach 12-13 WAR in a season.

    I used to agree with you, but it's hard to ignore the K% rate he's put up since coming to the Jays. As you said, he seemed to make a big adjustment in 2016 and the first half of 2017 with the Astros. His K% rate was about 18-20% in just under 950 PA's (and those improvements may date back into the 2nd half of 2015 - I didn't care enough to look). But since coming to the Jays, his K% has sky rocketed back up to 30% over this past 222 PA's. I don't pretend to know when K% stabilizes or whatever, but it would appear (to my untrained eye) that we are creeping out of the SSS territory and into the legitimate concern stage.

    I suspect he means that over his career, he's had one of the highest rates of hard hit balls in the majors. Which is true.

    The Padres sent up a pitcher to pinch hit in the 7th inning? WTF? wha...what the f*** is wrong with that organization?

    Polanco is having a massive start to the season. Big breakout potential.

    I hear you, but staggering them seems pretty easy...just give Travis 2 days off in a row and start Solarte at 2nd. I mean you don't need to try hard to find a reason to give Travis an extra day off right now.

    Anyone else notice that Gibby seems to give a lot of "days off" to his regulars on the same night that Maile (or whoever the backup catcher is) is scheduled to start? Is there some philosophy there where he thinks you're better off having: A. all your starters play together 5 or 6 days a week and 1 games with multiple bench players starting v. B. 8 starters and a bench player playing 3 or 4 days a week My 'gut' tells me I prefer strategy B and if I know Martin is going to be sitting on Saturday, I'm giving JD or Smoak a day off on Friday - not Saturday. I feel like we've seen this more than once (2-3 bench players starting the say day) over the past 2 years. Just an observation as god knows there are 100's of factors we aren't privy too.

    Yennsy Diaz has now given up 2 hits in 11 2/3 innings to start the year with 14 K's.
  12. Brownie19
    This isn't exactly true. King Felix has one of the best in baseball and it's only 5-6 mph slower than his fastball. There are more than a few pitchers throwing hard changeups effectively. That said - I like how Sanchez's change up as looked so far. Just throw more strikes man.
  13. Brownie19
    Best I can do since I'm in Wasaga Beach and don't subscribe to MiBL. I'll see myself out.
  14. Brownie19
    15 errors in 50 games at SS/2nd last year.

    I assume it's really popular/busy area - full of snowbirds?
  16. Brownie19
    How do you like the Clearwater area? I haven't spent much time there, but that location looks perfect for retirement. My parents are in Port Charlotte and it's the same. They can't get enough staff in restaurants. You'll go in and half the tables are open, but you have to wait because they don't have enough servers. Most restaurants now have to increase pay for servers and cooks or they'll go somewhere else (so much demand).

    May also be why the CB% is down and the CU% is up... Personally, I think he could be very effective working at 92-94 on his sinker with a good curve and that new quality change up. BUT - if that's the new Sanchez - he needs to throw way more strikes and keep the BB% down.
  18. Brownie19
    SSS, but his SwStr% is at 10.7% so far this year - best of his career (8.2% in 2016) It's not going to matter how hard he's throwing, or what pitch sequence he's using if he can't get the BB% down. With HBP included, he's at 6.86 BB/9 right now (vs. 5.95 K/9). That isn't sustainable.
  19. Brownie19
    It may depend on our organization's philosophy on the matter. More and more teams are willing to give up some defense to put stud hitters are premier defensive positions. Bogaerts and Correa are good examples.
  20. Brownie19
    That's Kevin Barkers view. It's probably the most useless opinion you'll ever listen too.
  21. Brownie19
    yeah - we don't judge based on ERA around these parts... 14.3 K/9, 2.1 BB/9 2.98 FIP and 2.15 xFIP in 17 innings last year suggest he has considerable upside.
  22. Brownie19
    Man - this kid really looks the part. If he ever improves his contact rate, look out.
  23. Brownie19
    US economy is booming! MAGA
  24. Brownie19
    Nice to see Alford's back already. But why's he in Dunedin? Just because it's warm I assume?
  25. Brownie19
    I always thought Kacy Clemens was a non-prospect?
