  1. Better option for what? Eaton is a bench player that fills in for late inning purposes or when a player needs a breather. Masa can't do that.
  2. Beautiful swing though! Can't wait to see all those grounders to the right side of the IF this summer. 🥰
  3. No guarantee for sure. He won't turn 20 until December and has a long way to go in his development.
  4. Playing an NPB team and using NPB balls. If only he was still doing that for a living.
  5. Justin Gonzales exit velo just now 117.3 🥵
  6. Halligan just killed Watson's ST ERA with that GS to Barger. I mean, the pitching stinks.
  7. He's only coming up because another poster puffed him up a few times.
  8. After having a 10% k rate last year, Franklin Arias now has a 100% k rate. 🥺
  9. You just gotta be aggressive in the top of the 1st in ST when runs are at a premium.
  10. Oh, you have this chump ahead of him: 23 G, 124 IP, 3.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 8.7 k/9, 1.45 bb/9 Nice try! Yophery: 5 HR, 221 AVG, 316 OBP, 657 OPS TBF, if Yophery added strength, he'd be a top 20 guy. He's just not there.
  11. Braiden Ward EV 76.4 mph IKF EV 84.6 mph worst in MLB '25 Someone check Ward's bat.
  12. Braiden Ward's Prospect Savant page is the ying yang of EV & Speed.
  13. He steals bases like Ted Williams. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=willia001ted
  14. How is Rodriguez #16? Makes no sense at all even if you just read the write up. He has a whole lot of nothing going on. I wouldn't have him in my top 40 TBH.
  15. Lux tax vs revenue in JH's pocket looks better for JH. Cash paid vs revenue in JH's pocket looks worse for JH. Maybe? JH can/will trade any contract once he doesn't like it anymore. Crochet 28M Lux/28M Cash Anthony 16M Lux/7M Cash Bello 9M Lux/6M Cash KC 7.5M Lux/2M Cash Raf 6.25M Lux/2M Cash Whitlock 4.6M Lux/7.25M Cash
  16. I disagree that it's harder to string hits together. Even with all the changes, there was only a difference in 5% in hits from 1985 to 2026. Is that 5% decrease really that big of a rally killer? I'm not so sure. It's just that teams have moved towards launch angle and exit velo to maximize EVERY at bat rather than simply use what worked for 100 years (moving runners over, going oppo intentionally). Unfortunately for fans, there's no measurable difference in runs scored between the mid 80's and now (including letting pitchers hit) when you factor in the extra 4 teams that are now in the league. Now, it's a station to station game where not much happens until there is a big swing. Games are a lot less exciting IMO, a lot less action going on inning by inning.
  17. Maybe you don't know how to use emojis then, because you really ended that post confusingly.
  18. I'm trying not to pay too much attention to the complaints. Just ready for Opening Day TBH.
  19. With the WBC going on, there will be a lot of "need body guys" this ST.
  20. BAL - Jeisson Cabrera - AA reliever (MiLB journeyman) PIT - Antwone Kelly - AA starter (7th ranked prospect, on 40 man)
  21. I'm sorry, did you hit your head? Moving runners over and productive outs are a large part of small ball.
  22. Franklin Arias gets his first ST action.
