  1. Somehow I missed how playing an instrument, with sheet music in front of you, that has been practiced is akin to judging where an object traveling at about 130 feet per second in a non linear motion actual is in relation a spot FWIW, when the object travels i a linear fashion the person standing next to the spot puts the object where the fans can get it. The article I looked at previously talked about what a dead guy did 50-70 years ago with buses. Now that is quite the baseball story. Time to give this site a rest
  2. A dive into the why of Kepler would end up behind the paywall. Sano did not seem interested in being an elite athlete in an era where sustained success was going to require work. Hopefully he did a decent job of saving money
  3. Yup, baseball attendance has gone up the last couple of years. Kind of hard not to after shutting down with the pandemic. Baseball attendance is still down from their peak attendance. If the stry starts ff with a slam asked on skewed statistic, why other trusting anything else the person has to say?
  4. There was an article elsewhere where Kepler talked about how he plaid with an abdominal strain most of the year and how it affected his performance. The game has changed and though you say you have watched it forever you can’t see it. Your list of catchers who played 135 games rarely hit 135. They didn’t even make it 120 in half the seasons they played in games started as a catcher. Your memory of what was is faulty
  5. That is how it works now. Repeat a hundred times and is is widely reported
  6. Limbo, that is the thing were if the bar is set to low you fall on your butt
  7. Playing games as catcher, only Carl Raleigh appeared in 135 games as catcher. Only 11 catchers started more than 100 games. Kendall was 15 years ago.
  8. ZIPS 2024 era + for the pitchers was also inaccurate. Being TD decided to malfunction once again, refused to reload and deletes the post about the pitchers I was typing. I am going to think about trying again later
  9. ZIPS 2024 ops+ projections for some of the young players Lewis 121, actual 107. Julien 112, actual 74, Wallner 112, actual 124. Miranda 105, Actual 112, Lee 89, actual 64, Castro 93, actual 102, Larnach 95, actual 116. Martin, 83, actual 89. Not terribly accurate.
  10. The other pitchers pitched with the arm that was injured
  11. Baseball trade values has no application in the real world. Any analysis of the trade says that Arizona got the better end of the deal. Saying that a hitter with a season and a half at A+ level with an OPS of .695 is equal to a AAA player with an OPS of .835 is laughable
  12. As a DFA to claim him would take a roster spot. To take him would be confidence in fixing the swing that the Dodger could not in 2 years. Low risk,high reward. Little possibility
  13. You provide the reason why the team could not have traded for Puk by giving them Gonzales with your last line. What you haven’t shown is that the Twins had a better third tier player than Miami received for Puk . Gonzalez simply has ot hit at the A+ level. At best he is the lottery ticket the team throws in.
  14. A high leverage LH relief pitcher would require a couple of third tier prospects that somebody else considered first tier. it would also need those players to be on a losing team and be a rental. That scenario did not exist
  15. The farm system in 2024 is producing what new players for the MLB team in 2025? Can they play defense better, do they hit better, pitch better than they did in 2023? Can’t really say if the farm system is better or worse. That is the problem with trying yo assess, What the player is might not become apparent until arbitration hits
  16. Talented players but not awesomely talented. While many major league may not have been ranked very high as young players very few players low ranked players become solid major league contributors
  17. March has been pretty much when this FO made trades. There is no reason why this year should be any different
  18. I all fairness there has always been pessimism even when they are wining 90+ games.
  19. By things like contact, sweet spots and other metrics it would appear thay Marti has a decent eye. What he doesn’t have is bat speed. That should be able to be fixed
  20. Mike Illich died in 2017 and the Tigers have not spent since KC has never been associated with the big spenders, nor have the Indians The White Sox are such a mess that I don’t think there is enough money to make them that competitive. There won’t be much for trades except for minor moves until free agency winds down a bit more
  21. Minuet. So nice that you are pointing toe at people rather than fingers
