Squirmin' for Yermin

Collins is 25 without a defensive position. I don't see a large gap there.

I don't care about spring stats... unless you go 0-50 then that clearly leads to some red flags we shall agree to disagree!

You're my favorite poster now, just because you give updates LOL

You're lying to yourself LOL

I wonder if he would be enticed at all with a Freddy Peralta type extension. 5 years for 15 + 2 option years at 10 million.. If I were Cease, I'd pass on something like that too

To be fair.. If he really went 0-50 in ST, we should all have a mild heart attack lol

Luis Robert, CF Michael Kopech Andrew Vaughn Nick Madrigal, 2B Dane Dunning Jonathan Stiever, RHP Matthew Thompson, RHP Andrew Dalquist, RHP Micker Adolfo, RF Jimmy Lambert, RHP Blake Rutherford Luis Basabe Yermin Mercedes Zack Collins Norge Vera (FUN!) Gavin Sheets Luis Gonzalez Ian Hamilton, RHP Tyler Johnson, RHP Danny Mendick Bernardo Flores Benyamin Bailey, OF Zack Burdi Konnor Pilkington, LHP Luis Gonzalez, CF Codi Heuer, RHP Yolbert Sanchez DJ Gladney James Beard, CF Jake Burger (just gotta if he ever plays again lol) I am the high man on Yermin and the low man on Collins. I think they are the same profile (DH/1B) and I strongly prefer Yermin's bat.

Same, I would bet this is the route taken too.

I think he is saying you can't just throw out random names as examples of players who couldn't produce at the MLB because we could just as easily do the opposite.. AKA provide names of former minor leaguers who put up big numbers and continued to in the MLB, specifically non-major prospects (Like Yermin). I am with him, stating bad MLB players who had a good year or two in the minors is not the same.

Super interested to follow him here

This is a good post... But the thing you're leaving out is that Yermin didn't just do this in AAA... He's done it at EVERY SINGLE LEVEL he has ever played at.. So I think the "just looking at AAA stats" is just wrong.

Are you actually there? Keep you the updates! You da bomb

I get it. I am someone who believes you cannot teach effort. Because of that I don't think you can "unteach" effort in a way. I still play sports and I just naturally play balls to the wall. I just don't think it's in some peoples blood no matter the stage (ST or world series). But yes, I am with you, let's not get hurt in ST.

So did Robert stay in the game?

Yeah, let's teach them to not play hard.

Giolito needs to get over it.

What is there to not love about his bat? He has no job on this team this year or the future (He's a DH) and we signed Abreu to an unnecessary long term deal. But I don't think people are crazy for thinking he'd be a really good hitter.

It would be SO DUMB to use McCann as Giolitos personal catcher.. McCann has one year left and is gone after this year..

Now that's a lineup to get excited about.

The Abreu extension stops that

I mean the guy has got to be a 60 grade hit and 60 grade power... We messed up not giving him a shot last year

I LOOOOVE how Vaughn immediately sprinted out of the box instead of watching it. Can't teach effort.

You mean, PER NOT STEVE CISCEK!

He was a top 60 prospect prior to having TJ.

Alex Colome has a lower K-rate than Aaron Bummer and he is a closer.. I forget for which team though.
