    His hard contact is about MLB average per Statcast. His groundball rate was just too high. Maybe there are more artificial surfaces where he played before? Maybe he is being pitched to differently? He is showing in a small sample that his approach has changed. We have to see how this plays out over a whole season rather than a few weeks.

    I seem to remember this too!

    With Duran, I am still wary of a 32% K rate and his 563 BABIP. He's going to come back down to earth at some point. Does he end up hitting 275 or 225? Will the BB rate still be about 10%?

    Magnetic personality.

    Chang plays defense and hits bombs. They also don't have ANYONE ELSE that can play SS. They are stuck with him. I think they can fake it at 2B for a while with the some of the people they have in the org.

    Ok, ignoring his 6 RBI yesterday he was still on pace for an 85 RBI season over 150 Games. Our biggest complaints last year were that Xander and JD weren't getting RBI. Both of those guys were under 80 RBI last season.

    That's why I use OBPts+. You get a boost for leadoff BB's.

    Stick it out with Casas. DFArroyo.

    "Cupcake schedule." The cupcakes were made by a psychopath.

    I'm not sure it matters who catches Kluber. I'd have Wong catch Sale again.

    Yes, sorry I meant Ferguson. You don't think Rosier is off to a good start in AA? He's the same age as Ferguson and has a 846 in POR. He was also projected as a bench bat. I didn't even recognize his name prior to this season. He's really a speed guy, 8 SB, 12 H, 3 2B. Ceiling of a bench/5th OFer.

    He doesn't look overwhelmed. He just needed a different approach. That's on the coaching staff to work with him and show him what will work in MLB.
  14. mvp 78
    Every stat is sacred. Every stat is great.

    IDK. If the pitch is inside, pull the ball. If the pitch is outside, hit the ball to LF. The issue before was he was rolling over the outside pitches towards 2B over and over.
  16. mvp 78
    I agree. His two question marks were making contact at the MLB level and defense. If he can make good contact, that just leaves figuring out a defensive approach that gets him to a moderately below average level. That should be doable. He doesn't even need to be a starter. If he can be a guy that you can just platoon or rotate in, that's big. Most of us had written him off entirely.

    Masa has 15 RBI in 17 Games. His 729 OPS is underwhelming right now, but the last 5 games have been a bit of a turning point for how he has been approaching his at bats. 10.5% BB, 11.8% K leads me to believe that he's not overwhelmed at the plate, just making bad decisions.
  18. mvp 78
    Bulk innings in the pen. More frequent appearances with multiple innings.

    You've definitely been more of a Grumpy Gus than usual.

    I'm not sure what Paxton can provide. He still has velo. Maybe he can provide lightning in a bottle. More likely he just goes back on the IL after a few starts. Klubers velo is down. His command is down. If he falls behind in the count and has to get over an 88mph 4 seamer, the next pitch is likely headed for the seats. He was able to be a decent pitcher last year, but it looks like time has finally caught up with him.

    Huh? Blocks Above Average: McGuire 2 Wong -1 Framing Runs: McGuire 0 Wong 0
  22. mvp 78
    Hamilton is repeating High A this season where he hit below 200 last year. I don't know how much meat is on that bone.

    Intangibles? No! Inchangibles? YES!
