I thought he was going to suck from the start. I was right.

https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/2019/04/finding-star-nothing-luck-quantifying-effectiveness-mlb-player-development/ Was posted in futuresox, but I think this belongs here. It shows their estimates from 2012 to 2019. It's just painful see what most of us have known (maybe not the worst, but very bad) and knowing the guys running the place have their jobs until they choose otherwise.

It really hurts to see these guys doing so well. It's pretty masochistic of me to keep checking their stats, but I can't help myself. Tatis and Narvaez look great.

How's your OOTP team doing?

Lol yeah, once he learns to hit the ball in the air.

Why? I find the stats page so much better. Especially on mobile. Everything you need is there

This is why you can never have too much pitching

That player would be carrying an unreal babip around .500. I'd imagine he hits the ball harder than any other players and with not much launch. Wouldn't happen, but obviously acceptable.

Imagine if Tim Anderson or any other player did the Jason "The Jet" Terry move and stuck their arms out like an airplane while rounding the bases. All hell would break loose. But my God that would be awesome.

The funny thing is that many of those arguing against Tim's "antics" are the very same ones who would complain about the world being too PC now.

People hate on Jason, but I'm a big fan. I feel it is also more difficult when you are a commentator of a team that absolutely blows. Give him a better product and he wins more people over imo

Palka needs to go down for Tilsen/Cordell/Delmonico. How long will they keep screwing our pitchers over with him out there? I'd argue they all have equal or greater ceilings than he does.

Yeah, because Abreu is hitting like trash and will likely be paid more than he is worth in the off-season. Yonder is a lefty who plays competent first base. If he keeps hitting well, he will have value at the deadline and possibly next year

Do we give yonder the ABs to reach his option, or trade him at the deadline if he's hitting that well?

Jose is toast

Look at what Robertson, Kahnle, and Frazier got from the Yankees... We aren't getting anything better than Narvaez for Colombe.

The guy was unhittable in 28 regular season games for the Cubs. The wear and tear he saved from other relievers can't be overstated. The trade was worth it.

I googled it after. Figured it was a movie reference. The Little Magician is a hell of a nickname.

The Little Magician > De two utes

Didnt you just call my nickname for Nicky Madrigal bad?

Do you really expect this team to be competitive next year?

Why does it offend you when people say nobody outside of the organization think Collins can catch? That's just a fact.

Two bad calls by the ump

Continue to disregard how they came Ray Ray. By all accounts it has been weak contact

I take it you saw The Little Magician in person. What did you dislike about his swing?
