    kinda interesting how Jordan Walker is #1 overall prospect in some publications primarily on the strength of having been 28% better than lg. average offensively at AA at 20yo but Caissie being 50% better than lg. average at AA at 20yo doesn't warrant much consideration as even top-100 (yes, i know this is not a perfectly summarized characterization)

    welp there goes the clubhouse
  4. sneakypower
    also he's not getting anybody out in triple-A
  5. sneakypower
    the Angels have a better record than us
  6. sneakypower
    surely his day is done but great googly moogly

    Brown recorded 2 Ks in the 4th both on really ugly defensive check-swings

    Boog said he was just 6th lefty (instance?) to hit 110+ MPH off LHP this year so already pretty hard to think bat speed is a legit flaw
  12. sneakypower
    are you kidding me
  13. sneakypower
    he's basically Lester but not demonstrative

    i want you to tell me what any of this elucidates in an analysis of Matt Mervis's future potential Bertz made a clearly understood point and saying "uh this one guy didn't master MLB pitching right away and also sucked defensively (dooming Mervis's near-term outlook by proxy) is mostly pointless commentary imo

    uh ok, Jose Ramirez and Paul Konerko were studs by age 23 so we'll just split the difference then and look forward to his breakout next year, in this highly scientific, meaningful, analysis here

    what does defensive value, or even age-specific production have to do with anything? the point was comparing offensive peripherals at AAA and what it might portend for his career outlook

    balk was a convenience for Steele, Berti was 99% to steal there especially with Amaya throwing
  18. sneakypower
    by all accounts, he's a superlative teammate, so all else aside having a league-average hitter in mostly PH role who likely provides significant intangible clubhouse benefits, is much more natural/acceptable role than giving full time PT to a replacement level player at a premium offensive position
  19. sneakypower
    what!!? Edwin Encarnacion had a 10-year peak averaging 40 HR & 114 RBI per-162GP

    (appeal to authority) "there's a reason 24 teams passed on Mike Trout in the draft" "there's a reason Pujols lasted until the thirteenth round" means little as a rhetorical crutch Jeremy Pena was looking like ROY for 1-2 months last year and Baseball America did an updated rankings where they begrudgingly slated him 100th lol, they're all flawed evaluators
  21. sneakypower
    i'm glad that we only wasted a month figuring out that a guy who has been replacement level for the last 5 seasons is still a terrible player
  22. sneakypower
    *bronx cheer*
  23. sneakypower
    i like that the Lions somehow ended up with 5 guys more or less with 2nd round grades, i'm here for it
  24. sneakypower
    hell yea
  25. sneakypower
    dominating might not be a totally fair descriptor, he's at 60 pitches thru 3 so he's effectively nibbling and escaping hitters counts exact same kind of start Steele had last night, funny enough
