    Kirk had a tremendously bad first two weeks of the season that he's still working his way back from. Over his first 13 games/50 PA he was sitting at a -1 wRC+/-0.2 FWAR. Since then he's produced a 109 wRC+/2.0 FWAR in 227 PA. It doesn't feel like he's ever really fully hit his stride this season offensively but the quality of contact has been very solid and it feels like a hot streak has been just around the corner for a good chunk of the season.

    The dude is 25 years old, it's not like he's a 35 year old journeyman.

    Eflin was acquired by the Orioles so therefore he is to be showered with maximal amounts of praise because in the eyes of jb they can do no wrong. Bonus points are to be awarded based on snappy Atkins nuthugger/apologist type barbs.

    Can't say what my emotional state was at the time of hearing that little tidbit.

    There are rumors of the 45th dude s***ing his pants on a tv set.

    The 2023 Blue Jays were 14th in runs scored in MLB vs the 2024 Mariners who are 27th.

    I think his arm strength is fine. To my eyes his throwing troubles stem from not setting his feet and throwing off of his back foot too often. He tends to rush his throws a bit instead of taking a tad more time to put more on the throws and this leads to a lot of bounced throws.

    Clement has been playing nearly every day for several months now. Going back to June 6 he's produced a 115 wrC+ and 1.3 FWAR in a third of a season. That's a helluva lot more than a bench player who is only producing because he's not playing very much.

    I think it's generally only the states without a state income tax that really have an advantage

    At least Yrod makes peanuts relative to most FA starter signings.

    He's faced questions about his age as he a little old for the level, but I do like the potential he shows as he's only a second year pro at this point.

    If Nimmala can get the strikeout issues under control the sky is the limit offensively. I had a look at what Orelvis accomplished at a similar age in A ball and they both produced very similar numbers, with Nimmala getting the edge power output wise with a .348 iso vs .293 for Orelvis. Orelvis had an edge in k rate at 26.1% vs 32.1% k rate for Nimmala in his second A ball visit.

    Jose Bautista had some pretty insane hot streaks as well.
  14. max silver
    That's quite the turnaround compared to the 66 wRC+ he produced at AA in the Mariners system.

    I legitimately can't remember anyone else in all of my time following the team experiencing a hot streak like this one. I started watching in the early 90's so that goes back a long time.

    I wouldn't completely write Schneider off either. I think he could really benefit from some AAA time to get full time at bats in order to rediscover his stroke.

    I like Hortwitz just fine as a platoon DH who can spend some time at 1B/2B as needed. That allows the team to allocate the limited financial resources as needed to fill out the roster with DH largely filled. Having said that I'd have no issues with trading him as Wagner might end up as a pretty similar type of player.

    Rodriguez has generally been solid as well. It seems as though the team may have a decent back of the rotation in place for next season, but the safest course of action would be to bring in another mid rotation or better starter to push those guys into depth roles.

    That loss came with a serving of bad decisions by the manager (leaving Tapia in the game and allowing Mayza to face Santana) and a serving of downright bad luck as the Mariner's largely babip'd there way to an improbable victory with the Springer/Bo collision being the icing on the cake.
  20. max silver
    I blame the manager who utilized Tapia when he had Jackie Bradley Jr. available off of the bench.

    That's a true pick your poison scenario. Do you face the .472 xwOBA dude or the .477 xwOBA guy hitting behind him? I'm really surprised Judge hasn't been intentionally walked more than he has up to this point given how relatively weak the rest of the lineup is by comparison.

    Soto certainly picked a good time to experience a breakout season. He produced at similar levels in the shortened 2020 season but never showed this type of prolonged production in any previous seasons.

    Yay sarcasm. I don't recall Blue Jays structuring deals with significant deferrals in the past so this would be out of the norm. We have no way to know if Vlad would be willing to do this either. Ohtani was an edge case given the insane amount of marketing money he pulls in already so deferring huge chunks of present payment was a far easier pill to swallow.
  24. max silver
    I have a really hard time envisioning the Yankees not being willing to pay whatever it takes to keep Soto long term. He's performed up to his full capability under the bright lights of New York and instantly transformed that team into a contender.
  25. max silver
    This would be contingent on both Vlad and the team being willing to defer money in this fashion.
