    I don't know what the exact splits are but feels like he puts the ball on the ground a ton RHH. Pretty much the one nit to pick with him to this point.
  3. Bertz
    I think with hitters it's a bit tougher to skip a level, but yeah they probably need to be aggressive in moving him up.

    Speaking of old minor league rookies turning into a thing

    I was literally coming here to ask about velo This feels like a situation worth monitoring
  6. Bertz
    Yeah if he's still doing this as we get closer to 70 games rather than 7 he belongs on the "you can get there on your fingers and toes" part of a top prospect list.
  7. Bertz
    Yeah, power's especially streaky though I'm not too worried about that until we get a good bit deeper.

    It is understandably not going to get nearly as much ink, but Eli Lovich I see you

    Hartshorn through 7 games: 37 PAs, 10 BB, 1 K, 3 XBH, 6 swings and misses Insanity

    It'd be really cool if Owen Ayers just breezed through A+. As the age relative to league obsessed guy 25 years old at AA is not ideal but for a catcher it at least stops giving me the ick.

    Great night for Naz. Wheat actually threw strikes in his first inning and started getting my hopes up as well, but his second inning went back to form.

    Generally good news on a Shota day
  14. Bertz
    That's a good looking lineup

    Maton said something about his mechanivs veing out of wack and it's tough to fix those on the fly while pitching in games that matter. So I assume this is very much a phantom IL stint. Carlson makes sense to me. With the starts to the season Shaw/Conforto/Alcantara are having probably safe to cut him loose. Kingery has slightly more utility because him being around lets Counsell be aggressive with moving Shaw in/out of games.

    Wonder if Webb's being put out to pasture

    Also worth noting they also turned their defense into a disaster just to squeeze in these modest offensive improvements.

    Mlodzinski was a bit of a monster out of the pen last year in long relief, so I'm honestly a little worried he's the goods. Pirates are still a team who I'm not especially impressed by on the position player side. They've improved substantially year over year but they were horrific last year so that's still probably not enough. I think the difference YoY is last year games against them were usually "first team to 3 runs wins" and now it’s likely more like "first team to 4".

    🤞Throw strikes Naz!

    As you'd hope with a top round college guy Reid appears to be too good for MB. Hopefully he moves up to SB as soon as the weather turns.
  22. Bertz
    Eli Lovich, who had a Morel-ian contact rate at MB last year, is a hair under 95% (Arraez-ian) through 15 PAs. THAT won't continue, but it'd be cool if he's got a decent hit tool now.
  23. Bertz
    Obligatory Pizzacutter note about how the stabilization point is not hey this is this guy's true talent now but instead when you can definitely say something has changed. Put another way thr stabilization point is where you someone like me should stop condescendingly being like "it's April" but the goalposts still move pretty slowly even after that point.
  24. Bertz
    Random and mostly meaningless, but Shaw is grading out well in the outfield so far. DRS has him as a +1 RFer, and statcast has him at 0 but says hes 64th percentile in range, so I assume that means hes on the positive half of the ledger even if he hasn't accrued a full run yet. He looked awful at Wrigley, but to Trueblood's point it didn't cost him any plays. And I'll say in Tampa he started looking pretty solid. If he can fake his way through April before actually being pretty good from there that'd be a wonderful outcome.

    So that....doesn't sound great. On the flip side Sharma wrote this yesterday in an article about all of the SP options the Cubs have in house in the wake of the Horton news. It's not impossible that was wrong or something happened in the 24 hours since but it feels like an injury would have come up in talking to folks for that article. Hopefully this is about the weather or maybe it's semantics and he's going to be the piggback for one of the doubleheader games tomorrow.
