    Fangraphs uses a projection system based on what the player has done in the minors. When Gordon was in AAA in 2019 he stunk. That shattered his ranking methodology. Gordon was a versatile replacement level utility player last year. If he doesn’t advance past that his career will last as long his willingness to be cut and move on. We’re there 36 better prospects? If everyone progressed ad the model say the answer is yes. Thus far it would be safe to say at this moment Lanarch and Rooker haven’t met the projections. Blankenhorn got his cup of coffee and shown he is similar to Gordon in value. He was also similar in ranking. Will Gordon prove his fangraphs rating as wrong? Well, consider all the lofty top 100 rankings he had. He proved them wrong, he can certainly do it in the other direction

    Don’t have anything to do with the news of the world. Looking at the time of the post, you sure it isn’t the Schlitz Blitz not the catching?

    See Berrios.

    That Blackburn was a top 100 in Baseball prospectus and nowhere else should be an indication something is wrong with the metric. That Blackburn was number one when others had him so much lower should be a clue that something is wrong. You can call it a fact, but it is an opinion that is so far out of line with others it should be a red flag unless you a mocking prospect rankings. If you were mocking them, good job

    With the added tool pf hindsight people can be so much smarter

    The author lost all credibility calling Nick Blackburn a number 1 prospect in an organization that had some gimpy catcher at the same time. If you tru trail hard you could maybe even remember the not great power hitter;s blame.

    One bad inning is telling of something?

    I don’t think they are going to jack Oner around like they did Dobnak. Nor is it very nice of you to project that Ober will be injured. Man, you can be such the downer dude.

    It says something about the drafting when the top drafted prospects were drafted by other teams

    Your question was less than a poor one. Nothing in the CBA benefits the fans. Should my response been asking you how does more money going to the owners benefit the fans? I didn’t ask it because of the hyperbole that would come back. Parity has no mechanism to happen in baseball. There is no way A 36% raise for the maybe 300 players at any one time that are pre arb eligible comes out to 2 million a team. I have did not say one word about free agent compensation. We can’t differ on that

    The flow of wealth I’m America has gone increasingly to the top 1%. That includes every baseball owner. My bet is you don’t begrudge paying them when you purchase products. Oil companies are at all time high for profits, You call the players greedy. Raising the CBT reminds me of trickle down economics. . On the other hand how many years of profit taking rather than competitive clubs do you have to have? If a century of teams is not enough to float the idea of if this is the way teams are then the money teams might as well spend more. It would be something like a free market economy If the players did not ask for everything they would get nothing.

    Yeah the union has done nothing for the player’s incomes. In 1972 Danny Thompson as a third year starting player made 13,500. Median household income was 11,200. Thanks to the union the players aren’t doing that much better than median household income now, if you move the decimal point over to the left one position and divide by 2

    Getting back to Arraez. His ceiling has been shown. He is a good player but not potentially great. That does not get you a front line starter. In any trade proposal be almost becomes a Brian Duensing bit.

    Since 2007 the baseball drafts have produced Gibson, Dozier, Hicks, Rosario, Buxton, Berrios and Rogers. Maybe in a few years that will change. Maybe not.

    Theilbar is a left handed Ryan is right. You should understand the difference Hader was a multi inning pitcher for 2 seasons. His career should be longer that 4 Why is 91. Important when the average FP velocity is climbing to the mid nineties and is higher than that for relievers, Reaction time
  16. old nurse
    Name one do it all reliever then with a 91.3 FB Colome. Is Ryan as a reliever, not Hader
  17. old nurse
    Your comment was Hader is a multi inning reliever. Your interpretation of why he is no longer throwing multiple inning is just that, If Ryan fails as a starter he will not be a multi inning reliever like Hader for the same reason he would have failed as a starter,. Your premise was preposterous. In terms of the Milwaukee staff development, I don’t think anybody by minor league ranking anyone thought the three of them would become what they were last season. So what is your point there?
  18. old nurse
    Hader has not thrown multiple inning games the last two seasons and is not projected to do so in the future

    A work in progress. By the end of the year there should be some clarity

    Nolasco pitched fro a couple of years at league average, Pineada has pitched well above league average but now has a 5 year injury history. There is absolutely no similarity in career between these two.

    Cardenas and Winkel would come to mind as the young catchers. My guess is the person was thinking of Garver and Jeffers. Garver may be viewed as young if you are old enough. You may not understand that 31 is a distant memory for a centurion

    In the article Cody stated that Rortvedt is a fine backup catcher but would not be a primary catcher because he can’t hit enough. Somebody took an interesting exception to that , I responded to that. Rortvedt will not hit well enough to be a primary catcher. Your numbers show that. He hit what an average minor league player would hit. He may well have a long career as a backup. A league average minor league hitter is not a league average major league hitter. There is too much chaff at the bottom..
  23. old nurse
    To get to major league average would be a huge step. The original post that you assailed stated he Ben would not be an everyday catcher with his hit tool. Constant progress is one thing, the amount of progress needed to be a major league average hitter is a very limiting factor. He would still need to hit better against the highest level of pitching. Like I said very very rare
  24. old nurse
    His minor league stats would be an indication of his hit tool. A career OPS of somewhere around .650 would make it very very very rare he could ever get to league average for a catcher

    Career ERA and innings were not on par between Koufax and Santana. You may hate the post season argument but there is a huge difference between what they did post season.. Koufax was brilliant, Santana was not
