    I've been really impressed by what we've seen from Rodriguez so far. This is huge given how so much of the prospective starting depth has already flamed out early this season.

    I wouldn't go so far to say that AA developed much in the way of starting pitchers as his entire tenure basically consisted of Marcus Stroman and a single good season of Sanchez as home grown starters.

    His overall numbers at Rogers Center were very good. He hit a 3 week slump when the club returned to Toronto but then cranked out a 190 wRC+ at home over the last 5 weeks of that season.

    Vlad also mashed in the Rogers center over the last 5 weeks of the season after the team returned to Toronto.

    I just found it to be an amusing ad.

    Sweet I just got an ad on this website for "special massage" featuring a stacked blond in a tank top.

    That was an awful play by Tatis Jr.

    I heard from someone on here that Yimi should have been let go last season to avoid having his $6 million vesting option becoming active. If he keeps anything close to this up he's going to be a massive bargain.
  9. max silver
    I don't know if that was behind the massive spike in K's early on as I think he just wasn't seeing the ball very well
  10. max silver
    KK looks a lot better at the plate since the homestand.
  11. max silver
    He's basically showing that kind of velocity as a starter so far. Hopefully he can maintain that type of stuff over longer outings.
  12. max silver
    YRod has shown better velocity so far than I was expecting.
  13. max silver
    Holy s*** that was a good catch.
  14. max silver
    We'll see how long he can keep that up with the 84.7 MPH average exit velocity.

    I was low key hoping that White would be able to carry forward the upper 90's heat from the end of the AAA season and spring training but unfortunately his stuff returned to previous levels pretty much as soon as the regular season started.
  16. max silver
    Or Biggio. Or Vogelbach. Or IKF, or basically anyone else on the roster.
  17. max silver
    That's an odd development as Kirk is literally the worst guy on the roster to park at first base given the fact that he's 5'8" with super short stubby arms that further limit his wingspan.
  18. max silver
    Yeah that's perfectly f***ed up as it appears the guy might finally be reaching his potential as a late inning weapon and his reward is a demotion to AAA.

    Atkins has repeatedly struck gold with the shorter term signings but I fully agree he needs to start adding more long term core players to this roster if it's to be sustainable and if he is to have a chance to keep his job moving forward. They've generally gone after the right guys in free agency but have mostly been unsuccessful at landing the big fish and been forced to pivot to the shorter term fixes instead. I had the same observation as Laika earlier brought up that Vlad's quality of contact metrics are really solid this season, so hopefully this is something that eventually corrects itself over time and he starts receiving the type of results expected of the type of contact he's been producing. Perhaps the xWOBA model doesn't work for Vlad and he's the opposite of the guys who regularly outproduce their expected results. I recall seeing on a game broadcast that the opposition had already accumulated 5 OAA against the Jays so it stands to reason that Vlad has been victimized by some great defensive plays early on.
  20. max silver
    Varsho has hit home runs in his last two games he started and has a 4 game hitting streak so I think he's earned a start or two.
  21. max silver
    It's against the Rockies and he's only pitched 3.2 innings so far this season. Definitely off to a fantastic start, but don't get ahead of yourself.
  22. max silver
    I'd love to see this happen as I think Kikuchi has unlocked beast mode moving forward. I believe he's a Boras client so a pre free agency extension seems somewhat unlikely.
  23. max silver
    Varsho is off to a rough start to the season but Kiermaier has been even worse so it's a bit of a choose your poison scenario between the two of them.
  24. max silver
    In a typical offseason that's still bench player money though. IKF is likely about a 1.5 win player if he plays primarily in the infield and receives more than 500 PA, vs Gurriel who is a 2 win player if he receives 600 PA. Gurriel is paid a $14 million AAV for an extra half win vs IKF so it hardly seems like IKF is such a bad contact in comparison.

    Baseball games aren't played on paper. Half of the team dramatically underperformed their projections last season and that's very unlikely to occur again. I think the only important loss to the lineup was Chapman, and he was a complete zero at the plate for approximately half of the season. I actually think the combination of IKF/Clement/Biggio may come close to approximating the same type of slightly above league average offensive production with appropriate matchups. Merrifield was a below average bat for the season as a whole and I think the club may actually stand to improve on what he offered with the available roster options, and I think Turner and Vogelback/Votto will essentially replace what Belt had to offer.
