  1. The power and walks are the nice part. He was a bit unlucky earlier in the season on BABIP and now he's getting a bit lucky, but he's also drawing walks and hitting for power.
  2. I'm better than you I'm better than you You may have thought that you were better than me But I'm better than you
  3. I think maybe there's a bit of ground to be explored between "not hitting 50 HRs at Daytona" and "not being on pace to hit 15 HRs at Daytona." and of course he's not working on his development at all in the minor leagues. it's as simple as once he had power, and now he doesn't. You are really hammering the absurd overstatement pretty hard. Probably a good idea when you don't have much of a real case to make.

  5. "In play, runs" when someone you care about is up is so fun
  6. You'd think he'd be putting up at least an .800 OPS in the minors then. The walks are nice, but the power is still unimpressive. Maybe it blossoms in the next few years, maybe it doesn't.
  7. SLG as a Smokie went from 342 to 525
  8. If we can somehow miracle together yet another decent rotation, and we don't start handing out jobs to terrible players for little reason (Stewart, Olt, etc.), then I like our 2015 chances quite a bit.
  9. If we don't win a World Series then every player's career is moot. And if we do, all the other years are moot.
  10. Can we all agree that this won't become a thing? No.
  11. 2-10 with a -38 run differential since the trade
  12. Most of us our 1990s-bred Saberfans and it's never going to feel quite right how much defense and baserunning actually do matter to total value in 2010s baseball.
  13. @javybaez23 Challenge accepted.
  14. It's only 29 PAs, but I'm very happy to see Alcantara's contact rate at 73%. If he can keep it around there, there's just no way for him not to have value. The offensive standards for his positions are too low and he adds a bit of baserunning value too.
  15. The pages leading up to it are fun, too.
  16. Tied with Giancarlo Stanton for the NL lead.
  17. The dude who faked his death? I haven't checked, but I doubt it.
  18. And it will be amazing to have him under non-guaranteed control for 6+ years.
  19. I have zero interest in giving six years of guaranteed money to a guy striking out 30% of the time in AAA.
  20. That would be a very White Sox move.
  21. Could Rizzo hit 40 this year? Probably not, but 35 seems pretty doable.
  22. You have no idea how close I was to posting something about his HR power being down lately.
