    Landry_25 on the board with Vlad +2 and +1 for first homer

    I have heard good things about him. Hopefully they come true.
  3. mphenhef
    So much sloppiness in the early going this year.
  4. mphenhef
    If he isn’t sent down to figure it out in the minors at this point, Little must have incriminating photos of Ross or John :).

    Married with a kid at 19. Many in the industry say he is very mature for his age and is clearly coachable from the adjustments he made as soon as he got to pro ball. That being said, the fact he was married so young makes me wonder if this was a case of marrying to sleep together.

    They did nothing? They only signed the best SP available, arguably the best non closer RP available, an intriguing bat from Japan who has been good so far and the Korean league MVP who many were excited by. They have 4 injured starters (pitching) and now 2 injured starters on the hitting side…that’s been a lot of bad luck so far. They have the depth that they will stilll manage through this.

    No bueno :(

    Double points day today! @CHW with Taylor starting as an opener again Springer (2) Schneider (6) Vlad (2) Kaz (4) Varsho (2) Clement (6) - mphenhef Straw (10) Gimenez (6) Heineman (10) bench (20)
  9. mphenhef
    I am guessing the expectation is a lefty will come in after Taylor given Davis is batting 2?
  10. mphenhef
    Does his stuff play up in one inning stints by chance?

    Half the posters in this thread must believe that: Chase Delauter is going to hit more than 100 bombs. Kyle Tucker will OPS under 700 this season. paul Skenes is a bum with an ERA over 9. The other half knows it has only been a week and you can’t read much into it. Choose your side.

    Last year they had a habit of playing to their competition. I am not too worried about it.
  13. mphenhef
    They offered Tucker a 10 year deal with a big AAV. He chose the Dodgers and a ridiculous AAV. This wasn’t a case of them cheating out. They were shopping at the top and couldn’t convince all of them to come. Going after other options wouldn’t have moved the dial a lot. Barger may still be the impact bat we want on the corner. It’s too early to judge this year.
  14. mphenhef
    It’s early to be s***ing on hitters too much. We’re 7 games in. A cold week not to start the season and we barely notice it.
  15. mphenhef
    Potential because it is still early and it is hard to say right now if it is a Kirk problem, pitcher problem or just playing s***** aggressive teams.
  16. mphenhef
    I am gonna assume this is tongue in cheek given this was you in the last GDT “There's a difference between letting off a few F bombs v. suggesting we should fire the FO/coaches, ripping the Manager on every decision he makes that backfires and/or bragging about how you told everyone that Player X is garbage”
  17. mphenhef
    That’s now 10 SBs against Kirk partway through his fifth game. This is has the potential to be a problem.
  18. mphenhef
    Realistically, they were probably holding him down long enough to get the extra year of control had he not signed. So nine years gives up 2-3 years of free agency. It’s important to note he still hits free agency at age 28 with a chance to get his bag. what was his earning potential in those nine years? The first three would be about 2.5 million total on minimum contracts. Soto got $80 million in four years of arbitration so if Griffin becomes a superstar (and arbitration doesn’t change) that seems like a reasonable number. Those are both big ifs though. His more likely comparable in arbitration is Bobby Witt Jr who’s numbers given in his extension were actually a bit less than this. That’s 82.5 million for the first 7 years. Tack on another 60 million for two years of free agency and it’s not a bad deal given the security it provides for his family.

    Friday April 3. Jays at CHW facing RHP Grant Taylor Springer (1) Sanchez(2) - Jonn vlad (1) - Barger (2) - Laika Kirk (3) varsho (1) Kaz (2) -mphenhef Clement(3) Giminez (3) bench (10) Kaz for me.
  20. mphenhef
    40th percentile in velocity. What about accuracy?
  21. mphenhef
    I firmly believe the Jays didn’t really want him back, especially once they had to make the call early on Okamoto.
  22. mphenhef
    Focus and pre-game prep perhaps. He certainly had it during the WBC.
  23. mphenhef
    I guess those end up being the same pick perhaps?
  24. mphenhef
    Shouldn't the Jays also be losing their 5th highest pick due to the Cease signing? Also, shouldn't they have added a pick after the competitive balance round B for Bo signing elsewhere?

    Fenway flat out sucks. Many seats with completely obstructed views, every step having a different height. It's got history and a gimmick (the monster) that make everyone love it, but to me even the monster lost some appeal once they put seats on top of it. Plus the people there tend to be idiots. I've been to plenty of pro sports in all kinds of cities and Fenway is the one spot I've seen with regular fights breaking out between home and away team fans.
