    Busch and PCA are both currently projected to match or exceed what they did last year. Seiya Suzuki was worth 2.6 WAR last year.
  2. Bertz
    They're in last place in what is probably still the worst division in baseball and Skubal/Mize/Torres all walk at the end of the year. I'd guess they won't because of that aforementioned division but there's a decent argument that they should blow it to smithereens and be open for business on anyone but Mcgonigle.
  3. Bertz
    Since the start of '24 when Greene broke out he has a 129 wRC+. Seiya has a 127 over that same period.
  4. Bertz
    Riley Greene is left handed Seiya Suzuki, which is not a bad thing the winter before we lose three veteran corner outfielders, but is a far cry from some mythical "elite" bat that would make the offense magically not streaky.

    I mean even if that meant anything he'd be facing the Giants the outing after as well.
  6. Bertz
    Boyd's through 4 and has thrown 55 pitches. He's mostly held his velocity. He'd be lined up to face the Giants next weekend, and their offense mostly sucks. Are we sure he needs a 2nd rehab outing?
  7. Bertz
    It's not going super well but Will Sanders rehabbing at SB
  8. Bertz
    Caple pitching great through 4 The groundball rate has evaporated early here at AA, but still impressive how little he's been fazed at the new level. If he could get a month+ at Iowa this season and be considered pitching depth in '27 that's a huge win
  9. Bertz
    Boyd lined up for the first game in SF 🤞
  10. Bertz
    4 of the next 5 opponent SPs are lefties, so hopefully Alcantara gets a little bit of run.
  11. Bertz
    I mean I think the takeaway is it's mostly not skill
  12. Bertz
    Sonme of this is that Myrtle's lineup is depleted at the moment but Geuri Lubo's a little interesting. Also that's a super cool name.
  13. Bertz
    This might legitimately be the first IFA SP prospect we've had with some oomf on his fastball since Marquez? And we didn't exactly have a steady pipeline of them before that either.
  14. Bertz
    Knapp/Caple is a fun doubleheader duo for Tenn
  15. Bertz
    Just noticed that Jose Escobar finally got the bump to SB. Hard to get a read on him because he's hit basically since the second he got to Myrtle, at a young age to boot, yet the team let him spend parts of three seasons there and get to 700 PAs. Pretty strong show of no confidence. Man Lovich is insanely hot right now. Very much feeling left behind by all his teammates going to SB.
  16. Bertz
    Am I supposed to be impressed? I mean that only made it to the last row of the bleachers.
  17. Bertz
    This is Shota's 12th start and 9th caught by Kelly. I think that likely tells us more than catcher's ERA.

    I'd love to see these direct quotes. But they signed Ross for three reasons 1. They needed a backup catcher and Ross was a fine one (you scoff about WAR but 5.2 in 483 PAs his prior 3 seasons) 2. Montero was a lefty so a righty who mashes lefties was a good compliment 3. Ross was buddies with Lester and they wanted to roll out the red carpet for Jon
  20. Bertz
    The team did not choose to sign Ross because he had a sparkling catcher's ERA come on now be serious
  21. Bertz
    I'm fairly open to catcher soft skills being a thing but when you're cherrypicking to the extent that flipping one outing would completely change the calculus I think it's probably best to just touch grass.
  22. Bertz
    DIETZ! DIETZ! DIETZ! DIETZ!
  23. Bertz
    I would be loathe to blow our prospect wad on a rental given the shape of the rotation heading into next year. Go get someone with control (Reid Detmers?) or try to pan for gold like the team did with Soroka last summer (Trevor Rogers?).
  24. Bertz
    Pete running to the dugout doing the earmuffs sign and demanding the high 5 procession even though he was called out because he was so sure it'd get overturned is my favorite thing in a while. That's like a prime Javy move.
  25. Bertz
    So Kepley hasn't played the field in over a week. If we're wondering why he hasn't been promoted probably some sort of nagging injury?
