just updated the previous update to see. Overall, very little changes compared to the big shuffles at end of may. Mostly who we picked but was hoping for more recent notes on Thompson.

BA says it has updated every top 30, but very little movement tbh. Movement below: Lenyn Sosa +3 to 8 and I think he just replaced burger Christian Mena +6 to 13. Kohl Simas to 18 (+2) Chapelli to 28 Yohemy Nolasco knocked out of top 30 (He just started pitching again, must have been injured) Terrell Tatum up to 30 Overall there weren't nearly as many notes this time or new info, kinda bummed but the May one was pretty sweet.

Maybe Toman is their second round play like Kath/Kelley

very good tweet

I can believe there are still some underrated effects of the pandemic year for this group, especially with so many of the write-ups I read knocking them for failure of development of another pitch or something there. They lost a year, could be it. They had to re-build stamina. Obviously, that same stuff can be applied to last year but last years group also had a ton of depth from what happened the year before, and maybe losing freshman year of college turns out to be worse than sophomore year. That said, would go for hitting too, but the "worst draft class" thing I can see being off in a few years for this reason.

Shilling pitched in AZ. Nice to see.

Hell yes

RHoCWS

oh hell yeah, just for the text groups alone. People imagining Hahn as miserable instead of happy are delusional. He has no right to have been a GM for 10 years with his record.

That's only because he's 5'7

k clearly the sox would screw up a similar situation but I'll just point out Thome's resume isn't that different, it's basically the same, as Rocco Baldelli's.

Thome worked with Davidson to get his mind right and a couple of our prospects. If he's game with managing players and not acting like an observational analytics genius, then it's fine.

He's been on special assignments, and if he worked closely with Front Office analytics for strategy and just handled the players it would be fine. Super star managers are dead.

This team needs someone being competent to be a role model.

Sure.

see...the hard thing is Thome is one of the best people on this planet and I can't even hate it.

RENAME IT LORETTAS LOUNGE

but you know, since our lives are just groundhog day, I'm sure this is like when the reports were out of Nagy getting fired and then we just had that morose wandering to the end of the season.

Stupid draft being after the ASB means you can't fire Hahnnyboy until then.

ramirez is good on all counts, but yeah, no. No SB or anything. just walked him after the first pitch.

At least the guy went after guys like Cabrera when they became available (and nearly succeeded)

I think he's a for real future starter. Just needs to keep improving command and strength. Stuff is there.

We'll know JR was pissed when he promotes TLR to Assistant VP of Baseball operations

no, it needs to be all of it. It's the same stuff up and down, it really is. I do like Paddy, but even he is the same thing, they all think they are lone baseball geniuses, nobody has built a system in this team.

See I would think Observed Analytics would catch that it's an 0-1 count or an 0-2 count.
