    i think i always properly realized that a bird in the hand is worth two Brady Hokes in the bush- so to speak, that i have no painfully regrettable takes on this topic

    5 touchdowns of 45+, unreal, still can't believe what a stomping that was

    Brighton played well today, Chelsea should consider poaching their manager

    in hindsight, Kyle Pitts was not a good 3rd round pick
  7. sneakypower
    he's basically leaning into it, too
  8. sneakypower
    how

    just 4 days ago Dolphins selfishly, negligently setting his career length and possibly lifespan on fire, really enraging to see

    nobody seems to think much of him but also becoming harder to ignore Perlaza's been white hot for a few months now as well, after an abysmal April [attachment=0]Screenshot 2022-09-22 at 10-51-56 Yonathan Perlaza 2022 Minor & Winter Leagues Game Logs & Splits Baseball-Reference.com.png[/attachment]

    i probably should've added Judge at some point
  14. sneakypower
    i personally consider him firmly within the system's top 10, but i can see the usual factors at play: likely corner OF, iffy hit tool, streaky performance the real question is did he meaningfully flip a switch midway through the season where he became a much more well-rounded hitter vs. all or nothing slugger or is it just sample size fluctuations [attachment=0]Screenshot 2022-09-22 at 10-43-11 Alexander Canario 2022 Minor Leagues Game Logs & Splits Baseball-Reference.com.png[/attachment][attachment=1]Screenshot 2022-09-22 at 10-43-25 Alexander Canario 2022 Minor Leagues Game Logs & Splits Baseball-Reference.com.png[/attachment]

    tbf he just beat the Saints with Scotty Miller, Breshad Perriman, Russell Gage as his most targeted pass catchers
  16. sneakypower
    AJ Reed is the closest comp i can think to for flame-out scenarios, but still doesn't seem too analogous bc that guy had apparent conditioning issues

    that's a very hot take considering it's such an apples to apples comparison; what is KA likely to do better than PCA? we already know PCA blows him away defensively so it's an uphill battle at the outset [attachment=1]Screenshot 2022-09-07 at 11-02-48 Kevin Alcántara 2022 Minor Leagues Game Logs & Splits Baseball-Reference.com.png[/attachment] [attachment=0]Screenshot 2022-09-07 at 11-02-02 Pete Crow-Armstrong 2022 Minor Leagues Game Logs & Splits Baseball-Reference.com.png[/attachment]

    Scott Parker and his £1650 blazer are available

    I could look very dumb about this, but I think we could see Willson's market fail to materialize. It only takes one team to fall in love or have money burn a hole in their pocket, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't beat Grandal(4/73) in years or dollars. It certainly seems like the lack of a trade market means the industry as a whole aren't super enthused with Contreras. I'd happily take him back if he falls to the 3/60 or 4/75 range.

    expected woba was .289 last year, it's .288 this year, that's what should be anticipated from him and that's just a bench player for any team that tries to win games; you're projecting very fluky performance to repeat, the age-old Cubs 2B trap we've seen what feels like a thousand times
  21. sneakypower
    3+ wins from 2B without spending time higher on the defensive spectrum is pretty good, but the BABIP brings up the other point about Madrigal I've made before. He's supposed to be a hit tool outlier, it's his defining valuable trait that stands apart and why people put a 70 grade on it. Madrigal hitting .320 for an extended stretch with no HR and few Ks(and the BABIP that creates) shouldn't be thought of as an extreme outlier. It shouldn't be the *expectation*, but even if you drop him to something like .300/.360/.350 over a larger sample, you're still talking about an above average player on a team that could use more of them. As of today his MLB career even with multiple ups and downs is 130 games, 504 PA, .296/.343/.364 for a 98 wRC+ and 1.8 fWAR. he gets lazy 70 grades on his hit tool simply for never striking out, his ZiPS babip is still .307 doing unexpectedly well "for an extended stretch" and unexpectedly poorly for an extended stretch adds up to an overall liability, why are we talking ourselves so hard into Aaron Miles 2.0
  22. sneakypower
    so what you're saying is, even with a .367 babip he's still pretty average
  23. sneakypower
    oh no i got sniped on the thread
  24. sneakypower
    really pulling for this guy to be a thing
  25. sneakypower
