    Not much in the way of highly regarded catchers in the pipeline which made the March trades so head scratching. Body by Willians Austidillo which makes one wonder how long he'll last behind the plate but if he gets here soon enough half a decade shouldn't be out of the question. 88 hits from the big league catcher spot this year so opportunity knocks.

    Six of one half dozen of the other

    Regression to the mean. Also known as a slump. Happens to every player.
  4. dxpavelka
    sano returns for post season
  5. dxpavelka
    Perhaps you haven't been watching the way the game is being played these days........

    Worth noting that Vin was a play by play guy, not a color guy.

    I guess it's time to do what the purple did yesterday with half their 2021 draft class--send 'em packing. OR we could re-set, re-evaluate and work with them, even give them another year. I've heard that sometimes folks have a down year one year and then proceed to bounce back and produce at a higher level the next. Just a rumor, but worth looking into.

    One plays SS and the other plays LF. Let's be greedy. Could have both.
  9. dxpavelka
    ring

    Bundy would have been a lot cooler if we had called him either Al or Ted
  11. dxpavelka
    Old enough to remember when the reaction to a guy on our staff with a 5.04 ERA was "at least he's not as bad as those stiffs at seven and a half....."
  12. dxpavelka
    Advanced analytics are an excellent way of predicting the past.

    Eddie brought heart, something that can't be measured and is sorely lacking in this team. Can't see it but we can sure see that it's not there.
  14. dxpavelka
    The Rosario decision was the "right" decision and yet we've spent two years wandering the desert searching for a LF while Eddie's wearing a ring. Got it.
  15. dxpavelka
    Even if there were a Francona level manager available or even if you liked Maddon it wouldn't matter cuz this FO would never go in that direction. They'd simply bring in Rocco 2.0

    The exercise was not to make a likeable comparison. It was to make an accurate one. Of course we'd like him to end up more like MIranda and Arraez than Gallo. Worth noting that Gallo is a 2 time All-Star, Gold Glove winner and 40 home run hitter. I guess time will be the judge.
  17. dxpavelka
    hope not
  18. dxpavelka
    He'd better be or some heads should roll.

    It almost feels as if the magic elixir is to limp into the playoffs and have Miguel Sano reappear.

    Three of the top twenty rookies in MLB this season sure sounds like standouts to me.
  21. dxpavelka
    Prospect rankings don't factor in the fact that we have three of the top twenty rookies in MLB this season.
  22. dxpavelka
    The word you're looking for is heart. Can't measure it but you can sure tell when it's not there. Been harping on this since Eddie Rosario left. Got worse when Nelly Cruz followed him out the door. I know. There's going to be a whole bunch of folks are gonna jump on this thread and tell me that Eddie's got a .552 OPS and that he's a terrible defensive outfielder. I don't care. He's got a ring and we've trotted a dozen guys who don't have one out to LF since he left.
  23. dxpavelka
    I'd feel better about the trajectory of our system if we weren't two years into the Kirillof / Larnach experience and they had more than 800 combined plate appearances at the big league level.
  24. dxpavelka
    Like I said, he has heart. Something this team seemingly places little value on. Likely gone.
  25. dxpavelka
    And yet he has more World Series rings than we have playoff wins in two decades.
