Extreme savagery!

Dammit.....so we can't even buy him out even if we wanted to?

IMO....for LF they are more likely to go with 1 yr low risk Conforto prove it deal rather than paying Nimmo long term. Colas in RF obviously. If buy Pollak out at 5m rather than pay him 13 or whatever to be the 4th OF, that's a poor use of money but since this team has obtained a very advanced Ph.D in the poor use of money, I can see them just sticking with him. Now that Eloy is mashing as a DH, there should be no issues with the whole "I have to play LF in order to hit well" BS. He's the DH...period. I agree that even though he hit well this year it's time to let Jose go and slide Vaughn into 1B full time, unless there's a trade for Chisholm. I think the rotation is mostly fine. There's too much bad money tied up in the pen but there's not much we can do on that. Keep Moncada. Yes he had a terrible year, but once TLR left he seemed to improve somewhat and even the relatively powerless YM from last year was still a 4 WAR player with high OBP. He's a savage I'm not gonna throw him away for one bad year. Plus we should sell low and we need some more time for Montgomery anyway. At worst, he's a bridge until Montgomery is ready. At best, he is back to being a very good player and 4 WAR guy. There's no good answer at catcher. If these guys aren't being made miserable by a douchebag dinosaur and dont have another plague of injuries they still should be a 90+ win team.

Cleveland....feel free to start losing games at any time.

Any chance we could put a picture of TLR, RH, KW and JR in the banner and put "The soreness will escalate" in there too?

Isn't this savage like 4 years young for AA or some crazy number like that by age (according to baseball reference)...he had a grand slam a couple days ago and now another homer.

So much for "he only hits well when he plays in the OF"

MOAR winning please K thx

Good. I want it to be miserable there. This stupid organization can't even avoid stepping on their own dicks in whatever short window we have and they totally wasted two prime years by giving this geriatric clown all the power. I'm glad they are suffering.

Why would we add legit left handed savagery when we hate winning? We are an organization that loves excuse making, squandering resources on crap rather than making a concerted effort to substantially address major needs, living in the past, using media assets to deflect from real issues, and are perfectly happy to put our head in the sand when it comes to facing long standing problems. All of these things are anathema to savagery and are thus not conducive to winning. If you don't want to add a savage you don't want to win. It's that simple.

This is 100% spot on.

Maybe they are thinking he could be in Chicago midyear if Moncada isn't producing at 3B. He's at 123 wRC+ so he's holding his own in High A. It will be a steep adjustment this quick but that's OK it's just getting a few weeks of work and then AFL.

At this rate #9 overall is going to be too low for Colas the left handed savage.

His power tool is definitely higher than 60. 9 HRs in 22 games in AA is an insane amount of savagery.

And that bomb was against a lefties too. Is Corey Seager actually this young savage's floor? ?

45 fielding is still a significant improvement over having 1Bs in the outfield and a plus arm is very valuable in RF. If dude is handling CF in the minors I think he should be at least a 50 in RF. IMO, power is more like 65 than 60. And they're underrating the hit at 50. Dude is wiping his dick across the faces of AA pitching and is now walking more and seems to be chasing less. But they think he's like a 255 hitter in MLB? Thats a littlr light. This guy should be a 275/340/520 guy. Hit is 55. If this dude keeps hitting a bomb like every other day he should be a top 50 prospect savage by the end of the year.

Boom!

Because we aren't going anywhere so why burn a year of service time for nothing.

No. 38 ranked league wide prospect is entirely too low for this young savage.

Awesome.

Dude is a 4 WAR 3B who is one of our better hitters against RHP when healthy. Those don't exactly grow on trees. If he is hitting better against LHP I agree this suggests oblique is still an issue. He's very valuable to this team. I think and hope he will be back to normal next year (ie at least Hugh OBP and good D). If he's still struggling by mid 2023 Montgomery will be waiting in the wings.

He'll be a top 20 savage soon enough.

Nice! He should be promoted to AA before the end of the season.

I think its becoming increasingly clear that fangraphs having his game power FV at 55 is too low. This guy is at least 60 and maybe 65 in game power after he made that adjustment and his wrist healed. 6 HR in 14 games in AA is crazy. There's like 38 more AA games this year, if he plays in 30 of them, while I don't expect 15 more HRs, but he could definitely hit 10 more, that would be 16 HRs in about 44 games which is very impressive and 23 on the year as a whole when he missed time and had wrist issues is a very good year. Dude has mega power and is a RHP killer savage. He is the RF in Chicago next year. You move Vaughn for Chisholm and put Jimenez at DH full time and maybe add Conforto on the cheap in LF on a prove it deal, you've got a lineup suddenly full of left handed savages.

That's what savages do.
