His numbers are really padded by his .911.
Amazingly, he was still at .803 after 148 PAs, which is almost half his career PAs, but that just further highlights just how bad he has been from 2023-2024.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Maybe I haven't seen enough of him, but there's something awkward about Grissom. His swing, his throwing motion -- both look almost too deliberate or methodical...
... like he's trying new techniques relayed to him through upstairs analysis... or maybe he's just physically compensating for some undisclosed nagging injury.
Either way, Griz doesn't let it fly -- if he was still a draft prospect, scouts may call him too stiff. Bogaerts, whose body type has been compared with Grissom, looked smooth in comparison when starting out.
My point is the far more likely outcome was another lost season from Sale. If the two outcomes were
1. Save $10mill and get an MLB-ready infielder at a position of need, or
2. Spent $27mill on a pitcher who will miss between 25 and 31 of his starts and maybe give you 30 good innings
Which would you choose? Probability had these as covering 99% of all possible outcomes.
Also, while everything around these moves bombed, moving Sale was more than just saving $10mill; they spent that money and then some on a starting pitcher who has thrown over 500 IP in the past 3 seasons. If you do believe the best ability is availability, this would have been considered an upgrade.
I mean, if they don’t trade Sale, do you think they still sun Giolito?
I always put CC for C so my lineup tabs up better......too dumb to find another solution. I'm a lotus 123 guy so my technical skills are very limited.....some of you know what I'm talking about...Remember the day when you used an entire row to put _______ and --------?
I write fictional stories in my spare time. So don't fact check me. Better?
No, but that's part of my issue - I think Breslow had to free up that $10 million to sign Giolito. I think they should have kept Sale and signed Giolito.

But he's always a physical specimen.

To play baseball idiot savant here, that "deliberate" look may be a sign that unlike Mookie Betts, Grissom doesn't have great "fast-twitch muscles" going for him, which may help explain why he hasn't put one over the fence in 220 trips to the plate.

Looking more at the Bogey comp...
Xander Minor League stats: 379 G, .297/.373/.493... .866
Grissom Minor League stats: 338 G, .320/.408/.475... .883
If Griz didn't have some pop, we'd have heard more comparisons to an Arraez-type guy on the way up.
(something may be holding him back, besides big league sweepers)
mookie suffers a broken hand
BTW-I think Stroman is showing tonite why I called him a head case. What is that white thing on the back of his head and who wears # O ?

I thought I was going to see a baseball game tonight, instead a track meet broke out. Great fun.
To the fan who didn't enjoy the game I'm not sure what to say.
We're closer than what we think.
This group can be fun to watch.

Seeing Rafaela slowly start to put some games together is very encouraging. He is very close to being the sort of hitter he can be (low OBP but good contact with pop)
Who would have expected Duran to be on the MVP long list this far in the season? (or any other time) Or for Tanner Houck to be legit in the running for Cy?
Nice to see them have a good homestand. The negative vibes around the home games have been rough on the players actually playing.
And we can't say enough about how Cora and Bailey have made the pitching staff work.
