Was perusing Kepley’s baseball cube page again, and saw he had 27 HBP last year, and another 10 on the cape. New market inefficiency is taking guys that opponents can’t help but plunk.
Kepley seems exactly like a Brewers OFer. Small, slap-hitting guy who can go get the ball but doesn’t have a great throwing arm. Trying to mimic their weird voodoo?
I would love Young. I think Raisin posted a blurb awhile ago that the Dodgers were looking hard at him at the end of the 1st. He seems like a good bet to be a comp pick to me.
I don’t remember what Shaw or Cam smith’s chase rates were in college, but it just seems weird to me that Aloy keeps getting linked to the Cubs with that ugly chase rate.
Same. He's easily my least favorite of the names being bandied about. He swung a wet noodle in nearly 200 PAs on the Cape.
He probably won't be there, and the K's are horrendous, but Jace Laviolette would be fun as hell.
