    it dawned on me that the upside to the Alcantara trade is that it frees up all the easy nicknames/abbreviations for Almora

    meanwhile, Mitch Moreland & Prince Fielder have a 84 and 54 wRC+, respectively

    and while looking at that trade value graphic, it's a laugh riot to recall that 4th-ranked Kris Bryant was issued a 4.4 WAR projection for this year, but- he's on a 7.7 pace right now...has actually played at a 7.3 win rate for his career to date so i think we have the #1 overall guy in this year's iteration fwiw

    the 3 out-of-zone plays is the real highlight (on Almora's D page) but one more (admittedly dumb) point for Russell, he's still following his ZiPS 5-year forecast pretty faithfully so we should wait until next year to complain in earnest if he stays developmentally stagnant:
  13. sneakypower
    of all the 26 hitters (since 2010) to reach 500 PA by age 22, he's only been better offensively than Jose Ramirez: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=500&type=8&season=2016&month=0&season1=2010&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=14,22&filter=&players=0&sort=16,d some of the players within proximity are monsters now so sure, he can improve there, and he's a fantastic fielder, but it's hard to say he hasn't disappointed with the bat thus far
  14. sneakypower
    yeah, either of those 3 should be fine
  15. sneakypower
    i don't see too much fault with that; he's been basically Nick Ahmed plus some walks, which is fine but still disappointing...that higher offensive upside we hoped for is tougher to imagine if his strikeout problems persist
  16. sneakypower
    11 Cubs hitters have topped 60 PA...10 have a double-digit BB rate
  17. sneakypower
    he's basically broken Corey Patterson but at 2B, however much value you want to ascribe to that
  18. sneakypower
    there's been a crazy frenetic pace in that match
  19. sneakypower
    like with Brett Jackson, it really baffles me when players are at first good but then get markedly worse in their 2nd go-around at AAA
  20. sneakypower
    so...Addi is basically patient Nick Ahmed plus a few hits?
  21. sneakypower
    he followed up an 8-win campaign in '10 with a replacement-level season...that's amazing
  22. sneakypower
    dumbest rule in soccer
  23. sneakypower

    yes
