    From ABTY on Theo at Gray's start yesterday: For those of us who prefer Gray, this is pretty exciting to hear.
  2. Tryptamine
    I'm tempted. Does Manaea have any sort of arm problems or is it just the hip thing? I thought the most recent injury was shoulder related which makes me completely uninterested in giving up the rest of the draft for him.
  3. Tryptamine
    I'm not sure which is more impressive, Castillo's 37K/1BB as a hitter or Melancon's 25K/1BB as a pitcher.
  4. Tryptamine
    Wow Rizzo, what in the hell was that?
  5. Tryptamine
    Yes, use Navarro as the final hitter instead of Soriano. Brilliant.
  6. Tryptamine
    Courtesy of ABTY7: I'd be shocked if the Rockies made that pick with Gray available.
  7. Tryptamine
    There's the sombrero for Rizzo. Statistical normalization at its finest.
  8. Tryptamine
    Nice contact on a 2-0 pitch Starlin. Nearly as bad as the check swing thing a couple games ago in the same count.
  9. Tryptamine
    Is it just me or has Starlin had a ridiculous amount of warning track flyballs lately. That was at least the 3rd just in the past 2 days.
  10. Tryptamine
    and a 2 run bomb.
  11. Tryptamine
    Nice strike 3 ump. Must be nice to be terrible at your job and still have all that security.
  12. Tryptamine
    Umps blow yet another call. A real shocker there.
  13. Tryptamine
    Matt Kemp has 1HR over his last 170ABs.
  14. Tryptamine
    Umpires blew yet another HR call after viewing indisputable replay. That's the 4th in just the last couple weeks. Rumors are flying that they're doing this as a way of silent protesting. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=27229593&c_id=mlb

    The Braves have already lost Venters to TJS and O'Flaherty just tore his UCL which means he's likely going to get TJS as well. They're certainly going to be looking for a lot of help.

    Hopefully he wasn't referring to Dillon Maples. If so, boo to Mr. Law on that. Yeah I saw this and I adamantly disagree. If we're talking ceiling, that means everything works out for Maples. To say that his stuff isn't good enough to start regardless of health is quite frankly pretty stupid.
  17. Tryptamine
    Wheeler, Syndergaard and D'Arnaud. They're all top 25 talents.
  18. Tryptamine
    Christian Yelich was already a stud, but now he has me questioning if maybe he's going to replace Oscar Taveras as the best bat in the minors. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=592885 Miami has the making of one hell of a foundation with Fernandez, Stanton, Yelich, Syndergaard, Nicolino, Ozuna, Marisnick and their impending top 3 pick in 2014.
  19. Tryptamine
    The last two nights have been a really nice change of pace from the mostly uneventful first month.
  20. Tryptamine
    I agree which surprises me considering how far I had Rodon ahead of the pack going into the season. Now he's not even the first pitcher I'd take.
  21. Tryptamine
    worst CFs in the past calendar year: http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=cf&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=450&type=3&season=2013&month=10&season1=2013&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0 Man, Cespedes makes me cry. He's a good player when he plays, but the man is almost always dinged up and it's always something different.
  22. Tryptamine
    Sorry, but I just can't bite on Bryant. To the best of my knowledge, he hasn't faced even one legit draft prospect this year. Quite frankly I imagine his ceiling as something like a Cincy Adam Dunn type guy. It's a very nice ceiling, but I still think it pales compared to Gray's ceiling and lacks the likelihood of Appel's ceiling. Guarantee me he sticks at 3B and then I'm listening to taking him at #2. Let him put up numbers against legit draft prospects and I'd put him in the discussion too, but until then there's just too many questions.
  23. Tryptamine
    The more I get into saber the more insufferable it becomes watching anyone on ESPN and 90% of MLB Network talk about baseball.
  24. Tryptamine
    Other than Wells, that isn't that crazy or any sort of sss. Swisher has been above 3.5 fWAR every year the last 3 years along with an OPS comfortably above .800. Beltre has had fWAR's of 6.6, 5.3, and 6.2 the last 3 years and has 2 seasons of .900+ OPS and a .892 OPS over that time. For whatever reason Beltre never really gets mentioned as an elite player, but his production puts him there. The guy has basically been the best 3B in baseball over the last 4 years.
  25. Tryptamine
    Any interest depending on the cost, assuming they're ready to move him? With the emergence of Valbuena, Chisenhall is really kind of redundant.
