    PCA sitting at a .616 OPS. If he can somehow get it up to like .650 by year's end, I'd consider that a very successful rookie year.

    From what I read he got picked on his first throw then after that was good. Apparently the Bear's D picked Burrow 3 times and Jaylon completely shut Tee Higgins down.
  4. Tryptamine
    Might be time to shut Wicks down and get him right over the off season.
  5. Tryptamine
    The usual it's early caveat, but Drake Maye doing an awful lot of checking down in his first 2 games. I wonder if the game just feels fast for him and he's just trying to get the ball out asap.
  6. Tryptamine
    Well then I guess let's hope the bat is what they apparently believe it is.
  7. Tryptamine
    It makes the decision to give him full slot even more strange to me. I thought there was a chance he might be an slight under slot even when we thought he was healthy, but now that he's done for 2024 and probably only DHs for most of 2025, I have to assume they didn't know or that they're super ridiculously high on his bat.
  8. Tryptamine
    Yes, what MLB needs is more injured pitchers. Every team is going to have to roster like 7 starters with another 2 or 3 ready to go in AAA.

    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/40864100/struggling-white-sox-drop-season-ticket-prices-2025 White Sox are reducing Season ticket prices starting next year. I wonder how close we are to going back to when you'd get a free White Sox ticket for purchasing a value meal, though I can't remember exactly which chain it was. I think this was back in the mid to early 90s.
  10. Tryptamine
    Sure, why not.
  11. Tryptamine
    Don't need to read it to know it's stupid.
  12. Tryptamine
    Happ is solid. On a competitive team he's a guy who should probably be your 4th best hitter. On a really good offense maybe your 5th best hitter.
  13. Tryptamine
    Albeit a very small sample size, Neely has been a monster with the Cub organization so far. 4 2/3IP 4H 1R 0ER 8K 1BB That's a 15.43 K/9, 1.93 BB/9, 0 ERA, .74 FIP, 1.07 WHIP and this is all happening while his babip is .400.

    500M is a damn bargain at this point. It's crazy how good he is with the bat. Despite providing huge negative value with the glove and negative value on the bases, He's still going to be somewhere are 37 career fWAR in his age 25 season.
  15. Tryptamine
    30M a year for 6 years sounds completely reasonable again.
  16. Tryptamine
    I've never watched any episode of Hard Knocks because #1, I wouldn't get any enjoyment out of seeing guys dreams dying on camera and #2, knowing more about athletes as people usually seems to not go very well as far as me liking them more.
  17. Tryptamine
    Well this is pretty much the nail in the coffin for any realistic chance of making a playoff push.
  18. Tryptamine
    That Seiya stat backed up how I feel every time he's up with less than 2 outs and a man on third.
  19. Tryptamine
    The perfect excuse for why they couldn't possibly make an offer to a generationally talented hitter in Soto.
  20. Tryptamine
    McCarthy is out for the year.
  21. Tryptamine
    He still has an outside shot to hit that 60 fWAR area where HoF discussions happen, but most likely he ends up in the hall of very good. Given the garbage can situation, I think he'd have to have a pretty clear cut case to get voted in.
  22. Tryptamine
    I'm actually rather disappointed with the season Caissie has had. Yeah he's putting up a 110 wRC+ in AAA in his age 21 season which is nice, but that power stroke he found last year is just gone again.
  23. Tryptamine
    Though it means little to the Cubs with Paredes now manning 3B, but Bregman has really turned his season around. He's up to a 117 wRC+ and 3.2 fWAR. Since July 1st, 160 PAs, he has posted a .297/.350/.561 line good for a 156 wRC+. If he keeps rolling through the rest of the regular season he is going to get a near 200M contract and he wont take a single AB of that contract before he turns 31.
  24. Tryptamine
    My guess is that gets adjusted after the guys at BA/FG/ETC. get a chance to set down and talk with scouts at the end of the year for their end of season rankings. At that point I'd expect he'll be in the 13-15 range.
  25. Tryptamine
    Pretty much in agreement with the people in the top 10, not exactly the same order, but it's the same people people. I have Southisene up higher, Cowles up higher and I also have Lovich in my top 30. They are way higher on Pedro Ramirez then I was, but I'm probably too low even if I still think they're a bit high. I think there's a decent chance Cristian Hernandez slides into the #10 slot if he continues putting up numbers in A+ following his recent promotion. Also, I'm already terrified that Cam Smith has K'd in 7 of his 11 PAs at a level he frankly should be crushing. Extremely small sample size and all that, but it definitely has me nervous.
