    Babe Ruth hit homeruns off the same pitches that Bobby Dalbec is feasting on in AAA.
  2. mvp 78
    And Pedro would drill his ass 100%.
  3. mvp 78
    The question isn't if he'd throw a no-no, it's how many perfect games he'd toss in a single season.
  4. mvp 78
    They used to measure Sam McDowell's fastballs vs motorcycles. High tech stuff! Let's not get into the Dalkowski nonsense either which really gives up the game...
  5. mvp 78
    I'm obviously joking about Houck. He'd destroy Koufax in a game of one on one. Probably rock the baby and posterize Koufax.
  6. mvp 78
    Probably wouldn't want to be on the same field as "those people" though.
  7. mvp 78
    It's how we can send people into the sun, a fastball from 2036 that reaches escape velo. There's a 13 year old right now being trained at Driveline for this.
  8. mvp 78
    They did say "like a rocket."
  9. mvp 78
    Something to keep in the file just in case IMO.

    Fastballs can't rise. It's an impossibility. Houck with guys behind him that could legitimately play defense? He probably has an ERA under 1.50 60 years ago.

    The NBA back in the 50's was even more archaic. This year's Celtics would beat those teams by 50 points. I discount all NBA stats prior to the ABA merger.

    Send Hugh back to 1910 and he hits 280, easy.
  14. mvp 78
    He injured the same leg last season and was put on the IL for 2 weeks. He's had more IL days than games played so far in his career.

    Mayer is leading the entire minor leagues in 2B's.
  16. mvp 78
    Willie Mays would still be an MLBer today. Frank Robinson would still be an MLBer today. Ty Cobb? It's really hard to say.
  17. mvp 78
    I think the A's aren't very good, so probably the Reds. The integrated teams from the 70's are more modern than what the game was in the Cobb through DiMaggio days.
  18. mvp 78
    They may be better, but I think it's ridiculous to keep assuming that the greatest players of all time are long dead and the current players are outside the top 50.

    @SoxProspects FCL Red Sox lineup- 5/23 1. Franklin Arias- 2B (#SP60 #22) 2. Yoeilin Cespedes- SS (#5) 3. Brooks Brannon- 1B (#46) 4. Andruw Musett- C 5. Kleyver Salazar- DH 6. Raimundo De Los Santos- CF 7. Yosander Asencio- RF 8. Karim Ayubi- LF 9. Yohander Linarez- 3B Brannon makes his MiLB debut at 1B. Musett has been raking for FCL Sox at C.
  20. mvp 78
    I was only referencing AL teams.

    It's a marketing thing. Baseball clings to the past like no other sport. Any top 25 list always heavily leans to players pre-1980 and often features black and white film where players are sped up awkwardly. If you put Ohtani on the 1927 Yankees, he'd outhit Gehrig and Ruth. If you brought 1927 Gehrig and Ruth to the 2024 Dodgers, they wouldn't make the All Star team and maybe not even get a starting spot on the Dodgers. The players now are better than they've ever been. Send Houck back to the Dodgers of the early 60's and he's neck and neck with with Koufax.
  22. mvp 78
    I wouldn't say ANY team. Yankees look good. Guardians have been on fire lately. Royals seem to be decent. Orioles are good. White Sox, A's and Angels are horrible. The rest are a murky middle right now that could go up or down.
  23. mvp 78
    Schiraldi had 2 outs and then gave up 3 straight hits. Maybe trying to get more than 2 innings out of him wasn't a great idea? If McNamara went to the Steamer for a clean inning, maybe they win it?
  24. mvp 78
    Maybe? Even the Rays are due for a down year. The Jays are talking like it's time for a fire sale.
  25. mvp 78
    A "playoff team" on 5/23 with horrible underlying metrics. With 6 teams able to get into the playoffs each season now, any team above .500 is theoretically in the playoff picture until halfway through September at least.
