Similar stance and swing. The way they run. The joy with which they play. Obviously Clemente was a world class outfielder and all time great. I’m just talking about their stance and swing and personality.

I was watching some Roberto Clemente highlights today. I think that’s who Morel reminds me of at the pate.

2024 International Signings
CubinNY replied to Irrelevant Dude's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Big fake birth certificate scale in the DR. There was apparently one kid who was supposed to be 12 and was really 18 or something crazy like that. -
Stop trying to trade Morel.
-
Another losing year.
-
Jackson is some kind of athlete
-
What about Crawford as a stopgap 3rd baseman?
-
I’m going to call them the Discount Dodgers until further notice. they have aspirations but not the gravity.

This is why I like Horton (Horton quote from The Athletic article on Busch, PCA, and Horton)) “I like things being simple,” Horton said. “The best feedback I’ll get is from a hitter and how they react. There’s all this data, but if it’s not in the strike zone, then it’s not going to play. Guys aren’t going to swing — it doesn’t matter how gross it is. So it’s just going out there and taking it one pitch at a time.”

I will, It was the bullpen.
-
Brett has a note that says the Angels are talking to Boras about Bellinger. Might be a plant, but if any org is going to overextend itself for a player like Bellinger, it's the Angels.
-
that's really the point of pointing this out. I think the bullpen was poorly managed by Ross, but there is a chicken/egg thing going on. The genesis of this line of argument was that the pen wasn't the reason why the Cubs didn't make the playoffs. Maybe not THE reason, but the most important reason.

Whataboutism applies to baseball too.
-
The Cubs ranked 14 out of 30.
-
lol the Cubs lost over 30 games that they had the lead in when the pen was pitching.
-
Mervis is in a really tough situation. He's not going to get a shot unless injuries happen and he's performing at a high level in AAA. He's about to become a career minor leaguer. The best thing for him would be to be released or traded, but he still has relative value for the Cubs who are unlikely to do that.
-
Not a Cubs target but Joc close to signing with the D-Backs
-
BA has the new dude, Cruz, as a top 15 prospect in the Cubs system. That is pretty lofty
-
Trades. But I don't know if they fall into the realm of reality or wishcasting.
-
you can't outpednatic Kyle.
-
I don't understand, please explain?
-
This will be like Dexter sneaking into Sloan Field on February 8th.
-
I agree. It is an interesting issue though.
-
If the Cubs come away from the offseason with essentially the same team on paper and win more games, how much credit do you give the manager? How much is variance? Because it looks like that is what they intend to do.
