  1. Lyle Miller-Green has really turned things around after a horrid May, wouldn't mind seeing him promoted to W-S post draft. Really intriguing combination of size and skills.
  2. With Albertus coming back and probably heading out to Kanny soon, I'd like to see Bonemer to WS - Antonacci to BIR - Jacob Gonzalez to CHA, he's been swinging it pretty well and carrying a healthy SLG/OPS over the past 5-6 weeks.
  3. Whoever is pitching for Charlotte just hit three guys in a row to load the bases, never seen that before.
  4. No, I meant what is the point of saying something so antagonistic and rude?
  5. What's the point of saying something like that?
  6. My interpretation of that post is that Montgomery had a similar profile to Merrill through 2023 and Merrill managed to get to the majors the next year so it isn't out of the realm of possibilities that Montgomery could grab the starting SS next year, especially with a potentially more competent MLB coaching staff next year. It's very unlikely but not completely impossible. Also, I don't really understand all the pessimism surrounding Montgomery, we all knew that he was going to be a raw project with tantalizing physical tools and up until last season he's exceeded all expectations. Even last season he struggled at AAA as 22 year-old still learning the game, but reading the sentiment about him on here and you'd think he was a 28 year-old journeyman.
  7. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=montgo001col Looks like Montgomery put up an .828 OPS in AA in 2023, which I believe is higher than .782.
  8. I'd offer Crochet+Pham for Pages+De Paula+Ferris+Eduardo Quintero
  9. That announcer is a human quaalude
  10. I'm really happy to see Wes Kath succeeding this year, we've seen a countless number of high school kids struggle with pro ball, get buried in the lower levels and wash out in a few years but Kath seems to have really turned a corner this year and adjusted to A+. Shows a lot of mental toughness and perseverance, hope he gets a lot of confidence from his recent performance and carries it throughout the year.
  11. No doubt. Fond memories of all those guys, Lil' Hurt will always have a special place in my heart.
  12. Everyone's jumping on you for this but I was thinking the same thing about inheriting that position. Lillibridge, Saladino, Mendick, Remillard, half of this year's roster. The only thing working against him is that his last name is a little too bland.
  13. Tony La Russa admits he's not the decision maker but he was referring to his bowels.
  14. Initially when he was drafted, I tabbed Burke as an athletic, glove-first 4th OF type in the mold of Adam Engel, but after his performance this year in the minors and the AFL I'm starting to think he might eventually become an everyday player.
