  1. Omg Nick Madrigal. This is our year
  2. Oh no not Neris. This guy is smoke and mirrors.
  3. In 2022, I was watching Emmanuel Rodriguez (19, low-A, Twins) closely. He was posting a comical .492 OBP about halfway through the season before a knee injury ended his year. Two years later, he has a .507 OBP and a 215 wRC+ in AA. He's currently playing in my hometown and the defense is +, as well. Kid looks as good as any minor leaguer I've ever seen.
  4. Madrigal being late on that 3-1 fastball down the middle is frustrating. The guy offers nothing with the bat if he can't put a good swing on that.
  5. Not really. Only one of those is a top prospect, and his hit tool is his weakest tool. For either Mervis or Canario, becoming a good ML hitter would be a 70th percentile- type surprise.
  6. He has an .815 OPS in Iowa. If he can make the next adjustments, and go on a tear, and the team has the PAs available between LF and DH, sure.
  7. Bellinger for Canario was the right play if they wanted to win the game. It felt like bunting with Amaya then staying with Canario was basically giving up 2 outs. Big fan of Craig but that was terrible.
  8. Though Luzardo has typically had traditional splits, in the small sample this year, LHH are giving him fits. I'm guessing he's had trouble with a particular pitch?
  9. Raise your hand if you also knew Joc would take Smyly deep.
  10. Injuries to the rotation and to Merryweather have resulted in the suboptimal configuration of the pen. It's especially unfortunate that the injuries occurred this early, because the call-up replacements would look a lot different (better) in, say, July.
  11. It may not have been 'lucky', but I had chalked this game up as a loss at multiple points. It surprised the hell out me that they won.
  12. Dusty had a lot of strange beliefs. The only fond memory I have of the man was him yelling at La Russa.
  13. As soon as I said he shouldn't be in a major league rotation, Ben Brown made me feel foolish. He was hitting his spots with both pitches. With that, you can see the possibility of a dominant SP
  14. I like Ben Brown. He is a unique pitcher with very good stuff. I don't think he is necessarily ready to be in a major league rotation, regardless of his decent results so far.
  15. Think we'll see Rojas in some top 100 lists this summer?
  16. Ben Brown reminds me of the kid pitcher from Dazed and Confused. Not just the long hair but the lanky, lazy body language. He almost seems like he'd rather be somewhere else.
