Ideology.

Too bad he wasn't protected. He gone!

He's trolling, mate.

lmao

Uhmm... no kidding. There was no blueprint for the Royals.

He's s***.

Blow Me!

I'm flattered.

Yes, you were. You think ATL will not likely wreck that number by 5 wins or more? That's taking it away from them... ^^^

Of course it isn't 88 W's, doesn't take away from what the Braves did in a season full of crippling injuries and a great 2nd half, look at their RD, they were good, nevermind the PS. AA for PM!!!

Fun Fact... the Roberto Clemente book was the first baseball book I ever read.

Fun Fact; I don't give a s***, but they should. Kiss my purple butt!

I was just saying....

George Bell was a rule 5 pick.

He isn't, way too young to write him off.

I'm really hoping Big Nate as a good healthy SP/RP or he falls to the wayside like Honeywell has, big year for Pearson.

Now there's a guy who bust because of injuries.

I believe he'll be gone also, Miguel Hiraldo might get taken too.

So is it no longer the Euro tour and renamed World Tour? I watched some of that early in the AM. Lots of good players still.

You're right, these moves are puzzling. I hope this works out. *shits pants* Pardhino wasn't protected either... meh, who cares. Jays know what their doing.

That's exactly who I thought of, Luciano. I'll be pissed if that happens.

Full Report Hunt was so crowded out by other prospects (Danner, Greene, Lewis, Pratto, Crouse, Estrada, Allen, Ward, etc) that he didn't even make the SoCal Area Code team (a regional, draft and scout-driven All-Star team) the summer before his senior year, and I didn't know about him until the following spring when he played well at a heavily-attended Boras tournament. Hunt got a $1.6 million bonus to keep him from going to Pepperdine, then put forth three solid, if unspectacular offensive seasons (.258/.341/.384) before having a huge breakout during 2020 Instructional League, during which he was suddenly hitting for much more in-game power. As a young pro, Hunt had a conservative in-game swing swing. He'd show you average raw power during BP but deploy a contact-oriented approach in games. His swing had virtually no stride, and he relied on strength to drive balls into the gaps for doubles, but that was it. Last Fall, Hunt's swing had more lower body movement and that, combined with another year of added body/strength maturation, makes him a much more dangerous hitter. I watched him park one halfway into the left-center field seats at Chase Field and he took Mason Thompson (who sat 96-99 that day) deep later that week, his second loud extra-base hit that day. He was one of a few buzzy Padres prospects (some of the others have also been traded) from the Fall, and he performed against a quality cross-section of pitching. Hunt's defense has backed up a little bit. He was catching on one knee, even with runners on base, and his footwork coming out of his crouch was inconsistent, which lead to inconsistent throwing accuracy. I've also seen him pop as low as 1.88 on throws to second and, despite his size, he’s agile enough and has sufficiently good hands to receive and frame big league stuff. I think the style with which Hunt catches will probably grow and change, especially as he shifts to an org that seems less inclined to put their catchers on one knee with runners on, and ultimately he'll be good back there. The thing to focus on here, though, is the potential power production from behind the plate, which now compels me to project him as an everyday player. (Alternate site, Fall Instructional League)

Where's JFL? Also, again good luck bruh. No more golf till after Christmas, sheesh!

Someone on the 40, can likely start the year on the 60 day IL. I'd punt Anderson(the guy they claimed today) from the 40 in a millisecond for him.
