Carlos Perez has gotten en fuego again, I couldn't tell if he was just super quiet or if he was injured for a while, seemed like he wasn't in box score for a bit. Really wish either of the bham catchers could have got more of a sniff of Charlotte than Nate Nolan but this really is like such a nice year out of Perez. And the only reason I short shrift to Fernandez is just not knowing anything about his defense and his journeyman status. But seriously, my goodness. Carlos Perez, let's review 24 years old Highest slugging of his career...in birmingham (11 HRs) Only a 10% K rate a 6% walk rate Thrown out 42% of runners 3 passed balls in 678 innings caught .264/.317/.410 are we sure this guy isn't better than zevala?

hahahaha this is too good.

man this site is just a bunch of nerds now “well actually did you know they won the 1910 World Series” jfc

Shit he brought in a loose analogy to a team from 21 years ago but called it facts so he wins and we all have to go home.

I think it's more likely he's lost about 1 mph on his fastballs (sinker and 4seam) since he joined. He still thrived last year, but in a longer season where everyone's seen him longer, I wonder if his stuff has just gotten slow enough where it's easier to lay off out of zone drop, and barrel up the in the zone stuff. His pitches still sink well, but he's likely toast.

We probably got older this offseason but yeah these are very athletic guys. I'm glad they also should have enough depth to let Ayo develop in the G league.

man what a dumb franchise. except for the 70s.

I don't really get the elephant ref

We also signed Stanley Johnson so this is a full roster. I knew I wouldn't know a lot about the remaining guys, and it is true that I do not. However, seems like a bunch of rangey defensive types that are reasonably young and you could hope for a breakout role player among them.

Very melodramatic thread. MLB must have lost yesterday.

Pretty interesting game 1 for Bham where both Davis Martin and Hansen tag teamed and pitched great.

Man Perez is on an awful run

The Championship team was his players, he had 13 wins the next year, and only 2 years under 10 wins in his 8 years. Fisher brought that team back to prominence after it was awful in the 00s due to sanctions and poor recruiting at the end.

FSU just had a bit of success with Jimbo Fisher imo

Despite failing to break out with much power yet, I’m pretty intrigued with how colson has been walking at such a high rate while keeping his Ks low, especially given the dearth of offense on that team.

my buddy showed me some rumors on possibilities of reuniting with callahan, that would be amazing. However, the further we get from cut day the less I think it's happening.

Vanderbilt is RFA though isn't he? Feels like we are tapped out there for a bit.

Seb's past balls are going to make him a below replacement level catcher unless he has some more HR barrages. Shouldn't be hard to find a defensive specialist at C with little offense.

The thing I liked about chasing millsap is I was under the impression he can still defend pretty well, aldridge was a pretty big defensive liability at the end for the spurs. There aren't a lot of options left that scream out but no option really screams out anymore so gonna have a scout pick.

yeah was pretty brutal. ACL has been its polar opposite this year. Kanny always tough, and a few new faces have hit okay but without power.

Lol we are useless. pretty interesting Kanny game 1. Brooks Gosswein did 4 ip and Kohl Simas did the last 3. No ER. Simas had 5 Ks a hell of an outing.

Yeah I was thinking the ryu contract is a good comp, where his youth counteracts a lesser total body of work. I'd pay him that though.

yeah the position players they should be fine. Mcclure was a possible bullpen pickup last year, has had a real up or down year, so whether the sox add him should tell us a lot on how they view him.

Good Jose Rodriguez night

Hopefully Bamadoc's vacation is goin well.
