2021 MLB draft
notin replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
As much as I would think this team needs to build up it's MiLB pitching, if they take a HS shortstop, I can see why. My first thought was "You don't build up your pitching by drafting high school shortstops," but maybe you do. If, say, Mayer or Lawlor (and/or Yorke) pan out at the lower levels and become ranked prospects, it is possible they can be dealt for a pitcher more established in the MiLB ranks or whom already has MLB experience, which is a lot less risky than taking even a college pitcher... -
Well, even George would not hold Marcus Thames accountable for Jordan Montgomery (4.24), Corey Kluber (6.10), Jameson Taillon (7.56) and Domingo German (9.0). Also, Nick Nelson (10.80). The Yankee starting pitchers should form a band called Gerrit and the Atrocities...

Right now, it isn't broken. I'm ok with Kike leading off until the team stops hitting...
-
While advanced metrics don't like Cordero's defense, a lot of scouting reports do, especially when it comes down to tracking down difficult flyballs for outfielders to get to (re: range). That said, he looked a little bit lost on Eaton's RBI double today. And I am unaware of Duran's arm strength, but Cordero can throw very, very well..
-
Yeah, but it was like they all knew what was coming. Probably worth pointing out Benetti seemed to go through the series thinking offense was a big problem for the Red Sox last year. He didn't seem aware this team could hit...
-
I was a little surprised. Although Ozzie did point out Cordero can expect to be drilled a few times during the next series between the two for stealing a base (which I think was ruled as defensive indifference) with a position player on the mound. And he also said that while he would probably order it were he managing, he has managed teams where the players took it upon themselves to take care of things like that...
-
So watching the White Sox broadcast for this series’s In the postgame show, Jason Benetti kept strongly implying the Red Sox must have cheated after struggling yesterday to starting the game with six straight hits. He even brought up Cora’s past in such a scandal (with the 2017 Astros). While he tried to say he wasn’t accusing the Red Sox of anything, he absolutely was. His deskmate Ozzie Guillen was much more rational and pointed out flaws with Giolito today...
-
While both are former 2b’s that were moved to CF in the Red Sox minor league system, I think the comp ends there or at least doesn’t go much further...
-
Hicks is a switch-hitting Jackie Bradley. Offense is inconsistent and a bonus, and not why he starts...
-
I was going to point out he only used Springs for the worst part of the order, but the entire Yankees lineup is the worst part of the order...
-
You do realize that the team hit the hardest by injuries right now in the AL East is the Red Sox, who are without Sale...
-
Or this weekend, with 4 games in 48 hours. Whichever comes first...
-
The only reason to question the decision is that the Sox had to play four games in a 48 hour stretch. So obviously getting as much IP from the starters certainly has some merit. But then Pivetta was a bit too wild to have a long leash yesterday...
-
2 down. 17 to go. They’ve taken the first two, but this hasn’t been ownership so far...
-
The Braves gave a pinch hit appearance to 36yo middle infielder Sean Kazmar last night. It was Kazmar's first plate appearance in the majors since 2008. This is believed to be the longest stretch in MLB history between two plate appearances. In his most recent plate appearance before last night, Kazmar last faced Nationals' RP Saul Rivera, who retired in 2010...
-
And kills any chance of playing elsewhere. His .466 OPS is horrific and worst on the team, but unfortunately for the Yankees, it's not the worst by all that much.
-
He needs to change his name to Bimbrel...
-
At least it's not a 7 year deal like Bauer could have had if he wanted...
-
Wow. It's gotten so bad that players are just quitting rather than see this one out...
-
Yes. Or Kluber. Good chance one or both gets injured filming. I should also mention that Harvey Keitel’s part will have to be written out, since right now no one is chasing the Yankees...
-
They’re playing like they expected the rest of the AL to just roll over for them...
-
He still thinks the 2018 team was a complete dumpster fire...
-
Haven’t separated? You’re 5-9. Absolute worst case would be being 9 games back with 148 to go. Not exactly Magic Number time...
-
You’re talking to a bunch of people who used the same date on the game thread for nine days because the team was winning. And now you think we want lineup changes? I get what you’re saying, but is it broken right now?
-
Let’s just say Boone and Cashman could be cast to play Thelma and Louise right now...
