Oddly enough, what you said sounds frightening similar to what my douchebag stock brokers tell me whenever I reject their “big win proposals”, and stay with my gut!
Hang’em Chaim and his revamped baseball analytics department get a solid “A” grade from me.
After last season’s performance and a gaggle of uninspiring off season moves, I seriously doubt even the most diehard Red Sox fans thought we would be more than 10 games over .500 at this point in the season!
Sometimes you just have to tip your hat and say “great job.”!
Now we need hang’em Chaim and the baseball analytics department to ace this upcoming draft. Rocker and bednar and we will have killed it!
I have watched Santana’s at bats and I see a guy who goes up to the plate with a plan, and has decent bat speed, but his timing is off. He is picking up the spin too late.
He gets his timing back, then we may have a decent hitter on our hands!
Good news today: former yankee pitchers put a dagger in the hearts of Yankees fans! Offense was strong!
Bad news today: workman may need more seasoning in Worcester!
The three players to be named later are all mid level prospects, but hang’em Chaim appears to have used two of them as boom or bust prospects and the third guy as organizational pitching depth!
I have no problem trading Barnes next month, if we can get a solid starting pitching prospect for him,
Add that guy to (hopefully) two potential starters in this draft (rocker and bednar) and we cooking with gas!!!
Hang’em Chaim spent the first part of his career here revamping the baseball analytics department. This past offseason we witnessed the success of that endeavor!
To date, we have seen no evidence of any revamping or retooling or anything else to make the player development system better than it has been historically!
Although I do want to point out that as far as producing hitters and relievers, I would put our system up against anybody else’s!
If hang’em Chaim can get two solid starters out of this upcoming draft he will have surpassed most if not all of his predecessors!
