    You know Rocco would have yanked him several hitters earlier (not that it would have changed much).

    They tested out ABS in the minor leagues for a couple seasons before implementing in the major leagues, makes sense to me over a rare special game.
  3. Danchat
    They really seem to have a thing for it...

    Nice to see all the top hitting prospects doing well in the span of a day! Yup, I think we see why the Tigers were willing to let Go go for basically nothing.

    Possible, but it was widely known that the Vikings really liked JJM - the betting odds were heavy on Vikings taking him, I checked in my 2024 mock draft documents and found that every single one of my favorite draftniks had us taking him, there is footage of Sean McVay on the phone with the Vikings talking about trading up on draft night and he refers to our pick as "Kevin's guy". They also traded 4th and 5th rounders away to move up one spot to get him just in case the Broncos were going to leap us. I could see them seeing Penix as the backup in case as they decided not to spend multiple 1sts to move up (which was heavily speculated, going up to 5 or 6), but all signs indicated JJM was the pick even if Penix was on the board. It's only in hindsight now that he's flaming out that we are questioning whether KOC really wanted him. In the scenario we take Maye, does anyone dare claim that KOC didn't want him and he was solely a KAM pick? There are people on other sites making that argument and it confounds me - KOC was driving the selection of the QB in 2024.

    With the unofficial Vikings depth chart now available, here's my updated chart:

    Hoffman didn't throw a ball in the strike zone in that whole AB...

    Jenkins has a considerably better K% and BB% than Sabato, he's just not hitting for power quite yet. I don't think he's "demanding" a spot at this point, but I think he's getting close. With an almost 30% K rate... Right, that will decrease his trade value, but still, I think one of those teams would bite at the opportunity to buy low on a top 100 prospect. And he'd be part of a trade package.

    ERod is finally back at AAA after missing about 3 months, but even when the rust is knocked off, he was striking out at a 29.4% clip there. He's gonna look like Fedko if called up now. There's no chance of DFA'ing him and getting him back next year if they don't want him on the 26 man roster, so they will either have to start playing him in the majors or include him as part of a trade package in an offseason trade. Personally, I would move him while teams still consider him a top 100 prospect. There have been opportunities to call him up previously and get a look at him (they were burning an option year regardless) and the Twins passed... and in the midst of trying to tread water, I don't think they're going to give him a chance in the next few weeks. Maybe we see him cameo in September.

    Given he went 3 innings last time and 4 innings yesterday, seems like they are working on him as a starter. Just getting a bit late in the season to be ramping up...
  11. Danchat
    He's 32 now, was a 28 year old rookie for us. Didn't look very good in his first few outings, then got moved. Another lesson on being patient on young guys with plus stuff...
  12. Danchat
    IMO he made the decision now because Kyler needs every rep he can get with the 1s. To be fair to him, even Kirk and Sam had some rough practices in their first season learning KOC's system. It's too early to panic, but also disconcerting that Kyler was not separating himself from JJM...
  13. Danchat
    You just know we're going to win 8-9 games again, not be good enough to make the playoffs / or win a playoff game, but also not have a high enough pick in a deep QB class.
  14. Danchat
    I'd give the Castro trade a higher grade, I am willing to bet one of Armstrong or Gallagher breaks through as a reliever in the majors eventually. That would be a great return for 2 months of Willi Castro.
  15. Danchat
    Hard to know if it's legit or not, based on two weeks of practice. What I do know is that O'Connell rarely ever uses formations with 4 WRs and Jennings is locked in as the WR3. So add in 2TE sets with Hock and Oliver getting a lot of snaps and spending a 5th rounder on a FB, I don't see Felton getting on the field much without an injury to a WR ahead of him.
  16. Danchat
    I'm sorry, the Orioles only have one more loss than we do? Not after tonight, but geez, they're getting boatraced.

    He got on top of another meatball!

    Worth noting, he might get a 4th option year for missing so much time due to injuries.
  21. Danchat
    Rodriguez is still rehabbing in the low minors, he hasn't faced AAA pitching since May 1st. Given this is his 3rd year on the 40 man roster, I don't believe that service time would factor into this. Gonzalez had a foot injury on Thursday, but otherwise has been overmatched at AAA. I don't think he's a good enough prospect to be worried about his service time.
  22. Danchat
    Uffda!
  23. Danchat
    I was pretty much out on Clemens this April, to be fair.
  24. Danchat
    Culpepper wasn't dominating either and also didn't need to be added to the 40 man for another year, so why him and not Jenkins?
  25. Danchat
    Still feels like this game might end with the score being 11-10... let's see if the pen holds up.
