    I like that Heyward changes up his music. Zobrist should take note.

    I was thinking the same. How crazy would that be. But it's totally possible. How much of a sample do we need these days? I see UZR/150 being cited after a couple hundred innings and I always thought you needed way more than that.

    Heyward is hitting some bullets lately
  4. We Got The Whole 9
    He got him alright, horsefeathers you Span

    That's true...I forgot he was actually pretty decent the 2nd half of last year when no one was paying attention. I still think White has the highest ceiling for a #1. He's only played 4 NFL games, so hopefully he can stay on the field and show us something. I'm not sure he still has that ceiling. You don't miss that much time to multiple injuries without it actually knocking down a significant portion of your ability. He has missed a ton of reps and the mental game is way behind the already-stunted physical development. I could see a year similar to Meredith last year but that's definitely in the high range of possibilities. Probably something like 50 catches and 700 yards.

    At least he's throwing strikes this time...

    KB should be performing a lot better in high leverage situations. He's too good not to.
  16. We Got The Whole 9
    I accept that

    Carry us, Rizz

    Tony is waking up

    Meh, Davis is better and only cost half the players. Wilson has another year of control and Grimm sucks. But this isn't to argue that this would have been a better deal than the Davis deal. Only that my proposal was not nearly as awful as it was deemed at the time.

    Swung at ball 4

    Just looked at Soler's stats. The dude has doubled-down on a patient approach (40% swing) and is showing a strong discernment on pitches to swing at... and he's been rewarded with a 250 wOBA. Of course he still pours on the negative defensive value. He horsefeathering sucks. Wonderful trade by Theoyer. Really hope this gives us a slight inside edge to bringing Davis back after the season. Doubtful but who knows. What I will say is that I proposed Soler + Grimm for Justin Wilson before the season and let's just say, the idea was not met with positive responses. Who cares. No big deal. But JFC that would have been a coup. Wilson has been ridiculous. Now he's gonna get a massive haul if they move him at the deadline.

    I'm not really worried about them being unproductive, but it's not great making them the players who get the most PAs today when they're both have a decent risk of having multiple at bats over in 1-2 pitches where they're duped into rolling over or something. It's a nitpicky complaint, but the reason that Zobrist, Schwarber, and Bryant are great for the top of the order is not only their production, but that they're properly selective. Almora has shown glimpses of doing so this year but never in MiLB, and Baez has never been close. In other words, a lineup spearheaded by Baez and Almora isn't going to run Moore's pitch count to 100 in the 5th inning unless they're knocking the crap out of him. It's a small effect, but it does matter when there are alternatives that could give you a better shot at that opportunity without doing something silly like hitting Heyward 2nd against a LHP. Ok I understand your qualm now. That's valid. Can't dispute that their agressiveness could certainly work against them. I'm simply looking at it from the production standpoint and I believe this lineup will produce several runs.

    He does have 100 PA vs them with a 500 OPS and 40 Ks. It could very well be the former you suggested.
  24. We Got The Whole 9
    I don't think we have enough from Happ to decide that yet. But what we do have is Almora holding a 1.0 BBK at a sparkling 13.9%. Javy last year is what they're hoping is coming along this season. For some reason he went like 2 for his first 20 (or something) but now he is coming back around and has a 300 wOBA vs them. Last year he posted a 360 wOBA and even a K rate below 20 at 18%. Traditionally he has put up big numbers against LHP. Just watching Javy and Al vs LHP - you can tell they are much more comfortable at the plate than they are vs RHP. Their pitch recognition is far better , and they make much stronger contact. Now Miggy over Willy... makes no sense. Really at all.

    Seriously, I'm not sure what is confusing.
