After only 9 IP, do we even know what the first Whitlock is?
-
Well getting a prospect you like without giving up anything can be tricky...
-
Not to mention, Cora did not sign the versatile players...
-
Well, they have no bench and the players on it they do have don't have regular positions. The versatility has caused an inordinate amount of juggling...
-
I'd rather just see the outfielders have one position they can call their own. You wouldn't move infielders around based on the ballpark they're in...
-
And many have pegged Cordero as a platoon option who cannot play defense, but he is only 8 months older than Arroyo...
-
If that's your memory of Kevin Brown, how does that comparison look now?
-
Last night's night big issue was the walks. Sox pitchers walked 7 hitters and 5 of them scored, which is a ridiculous percentage. They also only gave up only 3 hits - all extra base hits - and two of them scored...
-
What Cordero and Renfroe are is stopgap outfielders while this team puts some semblance of a talent base behind them. Maybe Bloom has a bigger picture in mind with Cordero, but I am not certain he was the key part of the Benintendi deal, and I think the PTBNL from the Mets was more what he had in mind...
-
THe same could be said about Cordero. Both players debuted in 2017, and both playes have exactly one season with at least 100 PA's. Now, Cordero does have another season with 99 PA, and has more PA overall. But we are still talking about players who came here with less than 300 PA's or less spread out over 4 seasons...
-
Ottavino has been a flop thus far, but if this team is to stay in contention, his return to form is essential...
-
Well, that's more than I can say about Jack the Giant Slayer...
-
I'm ok with that. I'm not real high on Arroyo given his career to date, but 1) there is no obvious better solution and 2) his limited playing time so far has shown no reason to not start him...
-
His 18/14 K/BB ratio leaves a lot to be desired...
-
Another thing we can all agree on is that the 2021 Yankees might be the worst use of $200 million since Jack the Giant Slayer...
-
Correct. 2001-02. You see them a lot now. Frankly, I find it appalling that the NBA disallowed zone defense but somehow permitted the appallingly boring Triangle Offense. I'm typically not one for outlawing a strategy, but if there is anything in any sport that just needs to be banned and all infractions hit with severe penalties anywhere from being locked in a room full of hungry crocodiles to removing body parts with carpentry tools, it's f***ing Triangle Offense...
-
I heard of Jagger Rusconi, but only because of Bellhorn's "Fun with Baseball Names" thread...
-
I know. We don't have to change everything. And the only things we all agree on are 1) Josh Taylor needs to go to Worcester very quickly, 2) Hunter Renfroe need not face RHP, and 3) any beer purchased at the ballpark tastes like a melted candle. Other than that...
-
At some point, defending the status quo is part of the conversation...
-
Hey, it’s possible. I agree, not likely. But possible...

2021 MLB draft
notin replied to jacksonianmarch's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
As long as it's not my alma mater. Those Worcester Polytechnic Institute players rarely live up to their pre-draft hype... -
Ah yes. Well, Hoyer then. The idea is the same regardless of who is in charge...
-
Unless you think he is like Liquid Plumber and he keeps those bases free for Verdugo, Bogaerts, etc, to flow freely around them and bypass that nasty hair clog...
-
It messes us up at home? I think we can agree a lot of people don't like seeing baseball get messed with. We've all seen plenty of people who decry sabermetrics, and those don't even take place on the field. So now what I have noticed with all these shifts is balls I see fly jump off bats that I assume are going for hits are becoming routine ground outs and line drives caught easily by the second baseman playing out in right field. It creates an emotional swing where I go from being exited (or upset, if someone else is up) to see the ball jump off the bat, to suddenty watching a routine out that makes me feel the opposite emotion. I think maybe a lot of people get frustrated watching baseball this way...
-
I didn't think so. Bloom bought a prospect that he was enamored with. And in order to get him all he had to do was pay Adam Ottavino to pitch for a year...
