2021 MLB draft
Bellhorn04 replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
I don't know. Give us your top 4 right now and let's see how you do. This is your big chance. -
Jeez Max, that's a little harsh.
-
The advanced numbers are not kind to his D so far. I've seen him make some nice picks on throws though. But I too hope he gets better.
-
He got off to such a ridiculously good start this year. Now he's one of the Before and After Spider Tack poster guys.
-
Well, we are baseball fanatics, so you sort of can't help thinking of the baseball implications too. Plus Jax ripped him for his actions as well.

2021 MLB draft

LOL a good reminder of why not to pay attention to any of them. -
It sure likes like Chapman's amazing start to the season was Spider Tack-related, doesn't it?
-
He physically assaulted a woman under the guise of rough sex. The graphic details are out there.
-
The Dodgers may have made a big mistake signing this guy. It's not like there weren't questions about his character in the past. This is horrendous.
-
Unbelievable!
-
I wonder how many times in his career Martin Perez has pitched 5.0 or 5.1 innings. I may have to look that up.
-
If we do call up Ort, wouldn't it be cool if we have a game with the Yankees where Whitlock, Ottavino, and Ort all pitch and we win?
-
As the old cliché goes, this is a good problem to have. Yankee fans are talking about heads needing to roll and pissed about things like us getting Whitlock. We're talking about whether to promote a guy who looks like a possible star.
-
Good point.
-
Tight hamstring. He came out of last night's game and was replaced by Chavis.
-
Perfect post.
-
I heartily disagree that there's nothing to lose. What if he stinks for 5 games and we lose 3 or 4 of them? And then what do you do with him? The leash would be short. We're in a pennant race and every game matters.
-
Exactly.
-
Arroyo is on the IL right now, otherwise he would be at 2B. If Arroyo is 100% healthy, there's no full-time spot for Duran. If Arroyo is not healthy, boom, there's your opening for Duran (as Kike would play mostly 2B).
-
That's a huge problem with assessing Duran's numbers. An OPS of .775 outside WOO does not portend all that well for raking at the ML level.
-
Right. It's just not the time. If they call up Duran right now and he gets off to a rough start, it would not be good for the team or for him. In no time you'd have the stories "Did the Red Sox make a big mistake...?"
-
462 PA's in 2018 and 460 in 2019 for the Dodgers. Isn't that a little above the threshold for a utility player?
-
Kike has much better defensive numbers as a CFer than at 2B. moon was all over this at the start of the season. Kike is a very good defensive CFer. I don't think there's any basis for saying "he was acquired to play 2B".
-
Come to think of it, the first time I heard anything about 'spin rates' had to do with the Astros. There was talk about Verlander having a dramatic increase in his spin rate when he went from the Tigers to Houston, and there was talk about strategic use of substances. Maybe that was where the Spider Tack Revolution (pun intended) really started. And then Cole went there.
-
Our old friend Jose Iglesias hit a 2-run homer off Taillon in the top of the 2nd at the Stadium to put the Angels up 2-1.
