  1. Mendick 2/2 including his 8th HR.
  2. The BABIP was shown to suggest he would regress back to the mean BABIP over the course of the year and what his #s would look like. Please continue being incessantly negative with everything. It really makes this a fun place.
  3. Right now his BABIP is at .263. Last year he was at .319 at A and A+. If his BABIP was the same as last year he would be at .310/.383/.407 line currently. I would say that is a decent line for a 2B that plays + D and runs above average.
  4. Last year JT Realmuto put up 4.8 fWAR in 125 games with a .277/.340/.484 line with 21 HRs. Realmuto was 24th on Fangraphs in defensive value among catchers at 8.3. If Rutschman would put up .285/.360/.485 with superior D than Realmuto, he would be over a 5 fWAR player easily, and probably north of 6. With those stats he would be the best catcher in baseball. No catcher has eclipsed 5.0 fWAR since Buster Posey in 2016, when he went 288/362/434 with great D and put up 6.5 fWAR. If you think Vaughn would be putting up a .290/.380/.525 line with 30 HRs, plus D at 1st, & being a decent base runner, he could be around where Freddie Freeman and Paul Goldschmidt were in 2018 and around 5 fWAR. Since 2008 here are some lines from catchers and their fWAR with similar projections to what you said for Rutschman. 2011 Miguel Montero: 282/351/469. 35 defensive value. 18 HRs in 140 games. 6.0 fWAR. 2016 Buster Posey: 288/362/434. 37.22 defensive value. 14 HRs in 146 games. 6.5 fWAR. 2013 Jonathan Lucroy: 280/340/455. 41.6 defensive value. 18 HRs in 147 games. 6.8 fWAR. 2009 Brian McCann: 281/349/486. 43.2 defensive value. 21 HRs in 138 games. 6.9 fWAR. 2013 Buster Posey: 294/371/450. 29.2 defensive value. 15 HRs in 148 games. 7.2 fWAR. 2008 Russell Martin: 280/385/396. 44.8 defensive value. 13 HRs in 155 games. 7.6 fWAR.
  5. Robert with a BB. Then steals 2nd and 3rd, and scores on an error.
  6. He's listed at #5 for the 2018 Class. Yolbert Sanchez | Rank: 5 Hometown: Havana, Cuba Position: SS Age: 22 DOB: 3/3/1997 Bats: R Throws: R Height: 6'0" Weight: 180 lb. Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 65 Known for his elite defense, Sanchez's polished glove might be ready for the big leagues now. According to scouts, he can spray the ball from "line to line" and is considered a line-drive hitter. He ultimately projects to hit eight to 10 homers in the big leagues. He is also known for his average to slightly above average arm as well as an average to slightly above average running ability. Scouts also like his game instincts and track record. Sanchez was the starting shortstop for the Havana Industriales and projected to be the starting shortstop for the island's national team before his defection last summer. He was the starting shortstop for Cuba's 23U team in Panama and was a teammate of White Sox prospect Luis Robert on the country's 18U team. Because of his age and experience, Sanchez will sign under the international signing guidelines. The Orioles, who came up short in their pursuit of Cuban outfielders Victor Victor Mesa and Victor Mesa Jr. and Cuban pitcher Sandy Gaston, still have close to $6 million in bonus pool money and were among the first teams to scout Sanchez in person. Should the Orioles decide to trade away their bonus money, the Twins, Brewers, Pirates, D-backs, Rockies, Indians, Royals, Tigers, Mariners, Blue Jays and Giants could be possible partners and thus be in a position to make a substantial offer. The Dodgers, Phillies, Rangers, Cubs and Red Sox have money to spend during the current signing period. The Astros, Mets, Cardinals and White Sox could be among the teams in play for Sanchez if he decides to wait until the next signing period that starts July 2. Sanchez is represented by Ulises Cabrera of Octagon and trains with Edwin Castillo in the Dominican Republic.
  7. Madrigal's BB% is now at 8.92% this year. 10 BB in 112 PA.
  8. Mendick HR. It's 8-0 in the Top of the 1st for Charlotte.
  9. Collins works a 9 pitch AB for a walk after falling behind 0-2.

  11. We all hope he develops the power part of his game, without it he is pretty much a non-prospect at 1B. FYI this is his 12th HR in the Sox minor league system in 695 ABs.
  12. It's complete horseshit that Schwarber is given no repercussions for his words, his ejection was meaningless as the game was over, yet Tim Anderson is ejected from a tie game, and then suspended. Suspended for language, my ass.
  13. I don't think the Sox will bring him up this year due to the fact he has a grand total of 383 PA, including 198 above A ball, in the Sox minor league system. If he is brought up this year, it's due to the fact that he's hitting like this in AA & AAA.
