What do you expect from Dansby Swanson in 2023?
muntjack replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
I'll take the under on those numbers. .250/.320/.400 -
If there was a way to wager on the Cubs making a substantial trade soon, I would.
-
They seem to be trying to put complementary pieces in place first and then let a solid farm come up and raise the ceiling, almost inverting the traditional method. Time will tell, but I don't think I necessarily hate it.
-
You're both right.
-
I feel like they are going to legitimately go after Ohtani.
-
I want Luzardo, think he has the TOR upside currently lacking, but it's going to take a good deal more than that.
-
Wait, what? I don't know Jim Riley, but he must be from L.A. How are the Dodger and Cub deals even in the same universe? LA's #6 and #10 prospect, neither a top 100 guy, both atrocious in their MLB stints last year, and that's somehow in line with a package of what you could argue are 4 better prospects?

This post is borderline dumb as horsefeathers, sorry for being an horsefeathers though. The presence or lack of highlight reel plays is not exactly how defensive metrics determine value, and while they aren’t perfect, they are pretty good. The fact that you can't tell my tongue was firmly in my cheek says you should reevaluate your reading comprehension before criticizing a post.
-
The only teams that shouldn't be giving Mervis 500 PAs are those gunning for 100+ wins with superstars at 1B and DH.
-
I was trying to get hyped, but after spending 5 minutes watching Swanson's defensive highlights on Youtube, I can now confirm that defensive metrics are horsefeathers. Nico is a better SS with a similar arm. Seriously, highlight videos are supposed to make a player look better than they are but it was terribly uninspiring. Not sure he made a single play that would crack Javy's top 100. It may have affected my experience that Chip kept saying "that's a Dansby dandy", which I found profoundly disturbing.

If I'm Jed, I'm calling the Angels and saying pick your five favorites.
-
Except for Coby White, no bull shot under 60%. That's bonkers.
-
If he accepts, I'd just lean into the name and only sign 6'4 + players moving forward.
-
When the season ended, I suggested Luzardo as the guy I'd go after. I originally proposed using surplus OF prospects, which the Marlins are short on. Now, with Canario's injury, I tried plugging in Christian Hernandez + Keegan Thompson and BTV accepted it, so i'll go with that. I'd add a good deal more, if necessary. Young + High 90's + #1 upside is exactly what the rotation needs.
-
I came to post this but decided to check fangraphs. Today I learned that in his 154 PAs, he was a more productive hitter than Aaron Judge.
-
If 22 players from this season's AFL have more productive careers than Matt Mervis, I will tattoo ricketts' face on my nipples.
-
omg here we go
-
Don't think they're rebuilding, but they have Sam Huff, a legit C with 70 power ready to take most of those PAs, and they desperately need OF help and SP, so it would be one of those deal-from-your-strengths-to-address-your-weakness type trades.

2023 Chicago Cubs -WS favorite version- Sign Correa Trade simulator approved: Justin Steele + Kevin Alcantara + Adrian Sampson for Shohei Ohtani Brennen Davis for Rafael Devers Keegan Thompson + Nelson Velazquez + Chase Strumpf for Jonah Heim and Jose Leclerc Though we give up some real talent here, we're adding two superstars and keeping the farm healthy as only 2 of the top 30 are headed out. Hoerner 2B Correa SS Ohtani DH Devers 3B Happ LF Suzuki RF Mervis 1B Morel CF Heim C Ohtani Stroman Wesneski Hendricks Assad Alzolay Kilian Wicks You hope one of the bottom three forces their way into the #3 or #4 role at some point. The SP depth can help in the pen along with Leclerc/Hughes/Leiter/Wick/Estrada/Rucker/Uelmen For '24 you attempt to extend Shohei, let Devers go, slide Morel to 3rd and make way for PCA.

I did notice a career-low launch angle 2015 - 9.7 2016 - 10.3 2017 - 11.1 2018 - 12.3 2019 - 10.9 2020 - 10.9 2021 - 10.4 2022 - 8.0
-
I'd prefer to rotate guys into the DH role for rest rather than have a big, old dude sitting in that spot. Forced to, I'd (probably?) feel better with Abreu as that guy over Franmil, but not so much that I'd want to pay $15mil per for him. His power is waning, his excellent OBP this season was more BABIP than BB%, and he'll be 36 so there is a non-trivial chance he's approaching a cliff.
-
If the 2020 draft had been a full one, and Hoyer had taken this dude in the 6th round (as he recently said would have been the case) I feel like we would be talking about him very differently. The fact that he was a NDFA seems to make people reluctant to assign legitimacy to his performance. He has a great eye, easy power, and seems like he can hit velocity and off-speed. Dude's gonna be an all-star next year.

Bears week 6: Commanders on Thursday night

I swear to god, I could lob that to him 10/10 times. -
Yeah, we went from discussing Rodon to German Marquez as the big add very quickly.

2022-2023 Offseason Top Prospects List
muntjack replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
It's funny those are the catchers you chose because I think Endy Rodriguez (#40) is the best of them all. He's probably my favorite prospect in baseball.
