    Kepler jinx successful!! 😁

    Kepler 2016-2018: .234 BA / .732 OPS 2019: .252 BA / .855 OPS 2020-21: .216 BA / .731 OPS 22-23: .220 BA / .650 OPS .730 OPS may not be your definition for a mediocre hitter, but it's not good for a corner outfielder, and also full of walks and low on RBIs. Since 2019, his OPS has taken a significant drop every year... and there's no debating that he's at rock bottom 2022-now.

    He was never that great to begin with, it's been mediocrity at the plate surrounding a superb 2019 season... and now we've had about a full year of something below mediocrity. Disappointing, and it was too bad they couldn't ship him off for anything over the offseason.

    Take DRT in the 2nd round? Uh… I’d take him in the 5th, probably no higher. I get why people like him, but he profiles as a Day 3 prospect. Hooker is probably the guy if they take a QB in the 2nd round.

    Hey all, I've been working on my very own Mock Draft Simulator and it's currently up and running if you want to check it out. You can click here to go straight to it, or if you want to read up on the explanation of how it works, click here. I whipped it up in the past month and a half, so it's pretty bare bones (no trading draft picks), but it uses my draft board (which you can find here). Here's a haul I just made:

    I have a good feeling about this inning...

    People here give Garlick a lot of crap, but man does he eat lefties for breakfast!

    Teams should be bunting at least once per inning against the White Sox, they're so terrible at fielding that they'll screw up about half of them. It's pretty crazy how consistently bad they've been on defense the past couple years.
  9. Danchat
    Should have swung at ball 4 in the dirt, lol

    Seems too early to say they nailed it, especially with the injuries that have popped up. Get back to me in another month or so and then we can talk.

    Alcala is OK, he was a dumpster fire for most of 2021 but had a superb September that obscured his rough season, so 2020 was his only quality season. Celestino had a graduation year of 2021 IIRC, and I poised the thought that it was more likely he wouldn't be ready until 2023-24. And here we are, he's still not ready and doesn't profile to be any more than a 4th OF. He did hit over .300 for a couple months last year which was nice, but he completely cratered the rest of the year. It's clearly a bad trade, but the real reason why had more to do with the Twins failing to maximize Pressly and the Astros immediately flipping the switch and turning him into one of the best relievers in baseball. It wasn't a Liam Hendriks situation, it was near-instant. That makes the trade a total loss, seeing as how he was integral to multiple playoff runs and a title to boot.

    I was talking more about the speed of the relay, I thought the runner was part of the way to 3B by the time the outfielder had the ball.
  13. Danchat
    Dang, I thought Vazquez was easily going to make it to 3B. Heck of a throw/relay!
  14. Danchat
    There hasn’t been a shift, the pitchers are just pitching better and using less pitches. Lopez is not in the same stratosphere of Bundy/Archer/Smeltzer.
  15. Danchat
    BUXTON MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Danchat
    Worst inning of the year, still only gave up 2 runs. That's pretty ace-like.
  17. Danchat
    I didn't realize Headrick started the year in AAA, that's quite the promotion after just 10 games pitched in AA.
  18. Danchat
    We’ll see about Kirilloff and Lewis… but my long-term concern is that more injuries are going to mount over the next few months like they have the past two years.
  19. Danchat
    So far, things are panning out as expected... the starters look great, the bullpen is fine, and the hitters are very questionable... we're just not going to be scoring a lot of runs when Solano, Castro, and Taylor are in the same lineup.
  20. Danchat
    Thanks for the info, that’s intriguing. Looks like Benson was/is a decently highly regarded prospect with plus power but might strike out too much. They may come out of this trade with a couple quality MLB hitters.
  21. Danchat
    Holy cow, was that a 2 hour game? Alcantara only needed 100 pitches to throw a complete game shutout? Dang, I'm impressed. I am loving these quick games.
  22. Danchat
    Let’s not forget the Reds also netted Steven Hajjar in the trade… it seems to me that they’ll need to extend Mahle if they want to get enough value out of this trade. If they lose Mahle over the winter, I think the trade is going to age poorly.
  23. Danchat
    Zero top 20 prospects? That's kinda hard to believe, but yeah, De Andrade is the only guy who's close. Huh.
  24. Danchat
    It's wild to see Lamonte Wade Jr. playing 1B and leading off for the Giants, and also Rob Refsnyder leading off for the Red Sox...
  25. Danchat
    Yup, I'm in love with it. No more sitting and waiting around, having less lull keeps my attention - maybe that's a me thing. But I think one day we're going to look back and wonder how we tolerated such slow games.
