    Gee, I wonder who it was that Dombrowski didn't get along with in this organization and was annoyed that would show up at whole bunch of meetings unannounced... 🤔

    The only way the Yanks miss the playoffs is if Judge hits the IL. They are near locks year in and year out now with expanded playoffs.

    Depends on the hitter TBH. Casas? Should be swinging. Working a long count? Fine. Watching a close called 3rd strike? Not ok. Working the count is fine these days with starting pitchers no longer able to go beyond 100 pitches. If the team has a bad bullpen, try to get to it early.

    Doesn't make sense.

    Castro is a switch hitter and he really struggles against LHP. I wonder if his LH swing will get a bump in WOO. He won't get platooned in the near future, but if he can't start hitting vs LHP he's going to be out of the system at some point.

    SP currently states Early has a ceiling of a third starter and it's based on his velo only. The way they look at pitchers is purely "if this guy throws hard and has command he'll have a high ceiling with good secondaries" he'll get a TOTR projection. With Early, he has a great pitch mix and his velo is just a tick under what the want to see. Unfortunately, that has caused them to underrate Early going back to his first professional season. They've always been high AF on Tolle because of the velo ("ceiling of a 2 but that may be light'). We have seen how those two have pitched. Early may just be closer to a finished product and may be more likely to reach his ceiling. Maybe he can even be better than what SP projects? They didn't put #3 in his scouting report until last season so he's already pushing that projection higher. Casas will most likely start on the IL then rehab at AAA. Not sure how they'd have Masa and Casas on the active roster together. There would need to be some sort of move made.

    Calling a team that you are projecting to win 90 games "Flops" is a little silly IMO.

    "It's great to be working for FSG. I love my job. I have a nice salary, get lots of dividends and provide my great insight in many cool meetings. Why wouldn't everyone want to work here?!?" - SK

    Pythagorus said that you should have gone 76-86 in '21. Very weird roster.

    “You can’t replace someone like Raffy,” Kennedy said. Even if you believe this, why say it? This guy is so dumb.

    "Well, players should just want to play for the Sox by taking LESS money and not caring if they are traded a year or two into their contract. He clearly just didn't want to be here. It had nothing to do with us not wanting him or getting outbid!"

    Wilson and Coulombe are both still available.
  14. mvp 78
    Sure, but they already have pretty ridiculous depth. 1. Crochet 2. Suarez 3. Gray 4. Bello 5. Sandoval 6. Oviedo 7. Crawford 8. Early 9. Tolle 10. Uberstine

    Blum is a 6'7" UDFA who added 5 MPH to his 4 seamer since May and throws a plus curveball, per his pitching coach.

    I think they will try to deal Sandoval so that they get back under the 2nd threshold. If he's looking good in ST, someone will want him.

    He was 46 when he fought Robin Ventura. I don't know if deGrom will be able to lift his arm when he's 46.

    I'm old, but not "remembers Mario Mendoza's playing days" old. I did know that he's who the Mendoza line was created for. I remember Yaz Day, but anything before that I was too young to really pay attention.

    I heard IKF was a good clubhouse guy. He's supposed to leave the clubhouse at some point?

    Durbin needs the high socks. Sorry. Mayer knows what's up.

    You might get positive regression from the pitchers, but you'll definitely see negative regression from Cal and Naylor. TBH Donovan and Durbin are the same player except that Durbin can play 150 games.

    IDK, Ray Knight was an aggressive runner. HoJo was up next. He would have walked it off anyway at that point.
