Ok, you heard it here gentleman. If you're 25+ and you're not putting up a 200 wRC+ on 80% flyballs you're horsefeathers and not worthy of getting a chance at the big leagues.

3,9 fWAR in 2021 and likely a 5 fWAR performance this year. Even with a horrific 2022, he's going to get paid pretty well. Remember, even Mancini got 2/14 and he has 1 total season over 1.5 fWAR

Deloach= 113 wRC+ on a .394 babip and 27.8K% Trammel= 125 wRC+ and has been given 351 major league PAs in which he has posted a .168/.270/.368 line with a 37.0k% Scheiner= 115 wRC+ Mervis= 137 wRC+, 99 MLB PA with a .167/.242/.289 line on a .218 babip Walks more than any of those guys, strikes out less than any of those guys, higher wRC+ than any of those guys

As always, it depends on what type of deal he's looking for. He's had a career year in 2023 , but he was awful in 2022, In 2021 he was good, posting almost 4 fWAR. If he's looking at like 4/72, even 4/80, I could see that, but if he's trying to cash in on this year for something like 6/150 then hard pass.

I saw an article that warranted like 4 or 5 responses was somehow at 5 pages and I was 90% sure of the answer why before I even opened it.

Midseason Updates to Prospect Rankings
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I just don't get being this down on Alcantara. Even if we ignore that he clearly adjusted to A+ after a horrific start, his overall numbers put him at a 118 wRC+, in a season where he turned 21 less than a month ago while playing a premium defensive position. -
I was on the Michael Busch train for that draft.
-
The farm completely lacks the star power that made that run possible. The Orioles are the 2015 Cubs.
-
Perlaza kind of has to get one, though I wouldn't expect him to see any big league time until roster expansion.
-
Patrick Wisdom deserves some playing time
Tryptamine replied to Doug Marier's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Over who? I'm not starting him over Candelario or Madrigal at 3B and I'm not starting him at DH over Morel or over Gomes when there is a lefty on the mound. -

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 8-7-23
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
I was so sure he was the big get from the Darvish trade. Whoops. -
They simply cannot basically forfeit every fifth game by letting Smyly start. He needs to be put on the IL with a mystery injury until he can get himself straightened out.
-
White Sox Interactive makes this place seem packed. There's a pretty small amount of people still active over there.
-
It's been an incredibly short time and I'm already sick of hearing about how USC is going to demolish the Big10, etc etc.
-
As much as Ricketts is a loathsome ghoul, the Angelos clan is on an even higher tier of human garbage.
-
Huge series win against Atlanta, they can't let up here. Take 2 of 3 then head up north.
-
Man would it be really huge for the Cubs if Cuas was actually a guy.
-
At least exhaust their bullpen....
-
Bednar blows the save
-
Jose Ramirez knocking out Tim Anderson ranks up pretty high on the hilarious scale
-
God I wish they'd have picked up just one solid pen arm
-
I've been saying this for a while. Whatever he changed in AAA to start elevating the ball probably saved his career. He's up to a ,720 OPS and 101 wRC+ while playing plus defense at 3B. Before today's game, since his return from AAA(93PAs), he has posted a .321/.411/.449 line which is good for a 141 wRC+.
-
3 run hr by the Reds makes it 6-3, they're back in it.
-
All I asked for was 1 win. If they get 2 that's found money.
