They are going to destroy the Pacers

I was hoping he would recover, but it seems obvious the injuries sapped the fast twitch in his legs. He has no explosiveness left, and that was his game.

Or they can wait and get him for the minimum soon enough.

He keeps it up, Jerry might even get his contract paid for, return be damned. (no he shouldn't, but we all know better)

Stop thinking.

He wasn't great as a reliever until he left here. Weird right.

Or in our case a .150 hitter.

Robert having a few days off is a good thing, injury or not.

I'd be thrilled to flirt with .500 right now. Hahns "mediocre" days would be a huge improvement.

There hasn't been a more consistently in his own lane poster in Soxtalk history

And by that you mean some rando walking the streets of Charlotte

Have you met fathom?

He is quickly approaching a career high for IP in a season. I wouldn't be surprised so see his stuff oscillate and decline at points as he fights through it.

Of course, but those guys with 6 years of control are usually more expensive than a crappy back up catcher... We got a guy with a utility player ceiling.

His TWTPD (The Will To Play Dumb) is 9ff the charts.

What did you expect from a mediocre back up catcher?

Dude is a 3rd string, defense first, no hit, catcher who calls a decent game. If you have him on your roster, you are automatically looking for something better. He has no value, and we have other catchers who should be playing.

So when a team is out of a top 10 pick for a year, does a new team move into the top 10, does the odds for all of the other teams left over get distributed to the other teams, or does a team that can't move up just automatically move down to 10 no matter where their slot get pulled up and the other teams that get slotted behind them just move up one slot?

In a situation like this you are quite literally taking the best offer. My guess is no one was offering any kind of lottery ticket, instead it was more like a 25 cents off butter coupon.

As a franchise we should be doing everything we can to keep our high end guys as starters. There should be no other options left before we make them relievers.

I am glad it was Thaiss that was traded instead of Lee, but it looks like Baker has really fallen off since 2023. He screams utility guy ceiling. https://www.draysbay.com/2024/10/16/24267960/2024-draysbay-community-prospect-review-24-dru-baker

Hopefully it nukes itself with all of the crazy reroutes into unattached other logic eventually collapsing the system.

Don't punish a poor AI.

I spent all winter saying it.
