    that would be a massive, career altering regression, so of course he'd then suck He has ~300 career major league PAs. There would be nothing career altering/massive regression if he settles in as a ~.270 hitter. He’s a slap/singles hitter with not great speed or power. Hell, last time he had 200+ PAs at any level, A+ in 2019, he slashed .270/.340/.370. he hit .309/.371.398 overall in the minors with 51 walks and 21 k. i think you're underestimating just how good he is at that specific skill set. saying "if he hits .270, he's going to suck" just doesn't make sense to me. every baseball player could start sucking at any given time, especially young players with limited experience.

    4 WAR pace with only a .324 babip this year. And last year with a .360 BABIP he was playing at like a .6 win pace. Hope I’m wrong, but just don’t see much upside here and think it wasn’t the proper use of Kimbrel as an asset to get a guy like this. The contact/batted ball profile seems pretty bad and he’s not too fast. I just don’t see how he sustains being like a .310+ hitter. And even if he regresses to like a .270 hitter there is little value. that would be a massive, career altering regression, so of course he'd then suck

    it seems like people are unhappy with getting young high ceiling guys and also unhappy about getting quality major league ready guys. i just don't understand why anyone was expecting to get both. kimbrel was very valuable but we didn't have a scherzer/turner type package to offer up. maybe i'm just happy that this hints at more of a retool than a rebuild, but i saw this trade and i was pretty happy, and i was fully aware of magridal's slappiness. he feels like a lock to be a good player.

    Before the season it would have actually been much more exciting. the point is that it was unrealistic

    i dont really get this take tbh. the kb trade is the one to be mad about.
  7. 17 Seconds
    imagine being told before the season that we'd get a chance to turn kimbrel into madrigal and heuer

    getting major leaguers in the kimbrel trade plus a hurt PCA really killed our chances to move up dramatically.

    you aren't getting quality and quantity for 2 months of javy baez everyone suddenly loves our players again I cannot believe anyone here does not love Javy, even if they say he swings and misses or whatever the hell. He is the coolest baseballer alive, and we all know it. i love him, but i don't love the player he's become

    assuming health, kilian gets a shot in the rotation by next season, right?
  11. 17 Seconds
    yes, because baez/bryant/rizzo are all comparable to perhaps the best relief pitcher of all time We literally just traded the best closer of all time today. and we got a fine return in that one. which trade are you complaining about? this all sucks and everyone should be mad, but considering the circumstances, jed's done fine in the trades. did anyone ever expect to get awesome prospects for 2 months of a semi-broken bryant/baez/rizzo?

    AA (?), but yes his numbers look awesome what does he throw? sigh.... of that sucks, i thought that was aaa

    kilian's numbers are insane at aaa this season at least we're getting a lot of guys ready for the majors

    why would you expect more? mets fans seem to be pissed about this Two ML'ers for one 19 year old isn't a very common swap you aren't getting quality and quantity for 2 months of javy baez everyone suddenly loves our players again
  20. 17 Seconds
    Cubs are the #10 farm system too If we dont end up in the top 5 after today, I will feel disappointed given who I watched leave. irrational or not getting major leaguers for kimbrel kind of put a dent in that

    If they were to get all three In that trade, I'd be walking up to Contreras, Baez AND Hendricks saying "hey guys, who wants to go to TB? i didn't mean all 3
