    Yes. He would have replaced KK + Varsho + Belt
  2. hanton
    different topic specifically I was answering your logic for Merrifield not stealing 3rd in that situation, with Snell on the mound and Espinal at the plate. I'd be pissed if he didn't attempt it.

    Interesting pick-up, we can use some flame throwers and he's been up-to 98mph but sits near 95/96
  4. hanton
    Lefty on the mound, weak hitting righty at the plate, less than 2 outs, best base stealer on the team. It was the perfect scenario.

    for sure, it's not a deep position in the league so that would still be a good duo. Failing that I'd like to see Atkins try and make a deal for one. There are a few teams with multiple good young catchers, Mets, Dodgers, Astros come to mind

    I'm ok with it, Espinal got the assist by giving Sanchez a clear lane to gun him down at 3rd - otherwise he swipes it easily. Get your head in the game
  7. hanton
    I haven't looked at it in that detail but what you say makes sense, framing / receiving skills don't really slump. Inconsistent playing time also hasn't helped
  8. hanton
    This is a big problem

    Need to start challenging some of these players with a promotion to the majors, of course based on performance but also sometimes based on age
  10. hanton
    Difficult to watch him struggle after what he did last season, I still think the bat is for real but he probably won't hit for power, above average on base numbers which is valuable from that position. and his receiving skills haven't slumped, called strikes below

    ..just watching the replay of the game now... Espinal with the assist on Sanchez throwing out Merrifield at 3rd
  12. hanton
    nah

    "Mayza and the team’s pitching coaches sat down to create an offseason plan. The priority: create a better slider." (your bold and not mine) This is wonderful but every pitcher on every major league team sits down with their coaches to create an off season plan. This is like saying he came into camp "in the best shape ever". Still valuable and good he's working on improving, keep in mind Mayza's outings by leverage: 18 Low, 6 medium and 6 high I am intrigued by the Pitching Lab though and look forward to seeing what it can produce - the fact that they are modeling it after college ball is a good sign - it's what the Dodgers did to get their hitting development back on track a few years ago. Should have done this in 2016 - might have produced more major league talent by now.

    prospects bro...

    You tell by looking at the major league talent - it's the only sure way. I was really referring to the High Performance Department that started way back when the current FO took over. So we have to wait a few more years to see what the Lab produced - that will be 9/10 years with this FO that's unacceptable IMO Ricky T is hurt isn't he? there's no proof that it helped Mayza a 31 year old MLB veteran, Berrios was pretty much a stud when we got him
  16. hanton
    did it really though? or was it always part of the High Performance Department? that's why I mentioned the 7+ years that the hpd has been in existence
  17. hanton
    in 7+ years what has the lab produced in terms of major league pitching talent?
  18. hanton
    so how long a rope?
  19. hanton
    I don't know what do you think?
  20. hanton
    Painter might have to get TJ
  21. hanton
    for that play at 2nd Berrios didn't recognize the situation and threw behind the runner - had he hesitated a bit and ran straight towards Grisham to get him in a run down - it would have been an easy out. Outstanding game though by Berrios, team didn't hit or at least didn't cash in runners when needed
  22. hanton
    for sure but why would Vlady's arb come in at 25M? maybe it comes into play in his last arb year but certainly won't be this winter. I doubt we see the Bellinger numbers - he was bottom of the barrel bad and yes absolutely mvp numbers are still possible
  23. hanton
    If that's true why do the Jays keep him? release him right now
  24. hanton
    the Dodgers (Mark Prior) knew how to manage him, it's just not working here
  25. hanton
    and how has that worked out for the Padres?
