That's pretty good, right?

Gage Tater Workman?

Would be nice to have some value out of any of our first round rounds aside from the Horton’s second half. They go like this. - Horton (125 IP total 2.2 fWar) - Wicks (95 IP total for .3 fWar) - Jensen (still in AAA apparently, #35 organizational prospect) - Lange (Less than 200 IP for less than 1 total fWAR) - Little (three 2/3 of an inning for Chicago, 118 IP for .2 career fWAR based on his sole positive season in ’25) Then it goes Blackburn, Pierce Johnson, Hayden Simpson, Cashner, Mark Pawelek, Matthew Clanton, Chadd Blasko, Luke Hagerty and dear old sweet Bobby Brownlie. Before you get back to Prior (657 Innings 16.3 fWar (7.8 in ’03)) Not the most inspiring list.

Chances any of this has to do with the new pitching lab and infrastructure?

Seiya hit his career high in HRs last year, but was he a better offensive player for it? (His BB% and K% remained largely the same (Ks were actually down about 2% 2025) 2024 - 585 PAs .283/.366/.482 - 21 HRs 16 SB 137wRC+ 2025 - 651 PAs .245/.326/.478 - 32 HRs 5 Sb 123wRC+ He scored the same amount of runs and drove in about 30 more in 2025. Maybe a team without loads of raw power shouldn’t be trying to focus on yanking homeruns? Maybe they should and it will all pay off? I dunno.

Thank you all for taking the time to post these! It’s appreciated!

39 walks in 649 plate appearances 8 walks in 53 already this year. Seems like quite a difference.

If this is what Nico is, I’m the horsefeathers. And happy about it. Where has this patience come from?

Ha! Fair.

Seems like a perfect opportunity for Brown to step up and take a spot in the rotation.

.

Just went and watched this ab. A couple things. It was an 0-2 pitch and I still hate the ‘Jaguar Paw’ he does as he rounds the bases. I’m all for individualism, but that’s lame. Still my favorite prospect. Like someone else said, be nice for a full, healthy, year of KA, instead of only showing up in the summer.

Man I hope so.

Clearly.

Seems the same could be said about this comment?
