Hall of Famer

And we don’t have to stay married to all of our terrible opinions. Nobody will criticize anyone for saying “You know, it’s not really fair of me to...

It would be pretty wild if he became a good Mlb player. JuCo to 1st round pick to basically being a non prospect to good MLB player. Sounds like a...

Says the captain of the “Yu Darvish is mentally weak” argument.

If he’s just going to compete with Vargas for a lefty backup 2b job then whatever. If he’s going to start 80 games then ugh.

Command isn’t makeup. Command is a skill. You can be the greatest person in the world, the hardest working person, the most coachable person and not...

Lol.

It’s hard to tell with Gammons if it’s legit or if Theo just told him that he liked Yorke too. Im glad it worked out the way it did. Looking...

Interesting that wrote that you agreed with the Rizzo example but not Willy. Interesting. I can’t qwhite figure out what subjectively gives...

Nope. Stratos is the sole authority on makeup. It doesn’t matter what people who actually know the players say. It doesn’t matter what their...

He does. All he’s done is overachieve what should have been reasonably expected of him. He had no business making it as far as he did but he put in...

It’s pretty much the same team as last year with ******** starting pitching.

Lol. Nonsense. How does Nico carry himself better and deal with stress and adversity better than CJ? Nico has failed to this point in MLB despite...

So Nico Hoerner, the 1st round pick who came up and has a 73 wRC+ is one of the people you highlight as having great makeup and Carl Edwards, the...

Absolutely a guy to keep an eye on over the course of the season.

Don’t pretend like you know anything about his makeup. You don’t. You watched him pitch two thirds of an inning. Don’t pretend you know anything...

Let’s make a list of lefties who threw 98-100+ with solid command who sucked. You go first. The issue for Marquez will be if he can command his...

If you are into the draft these Fangraphs weekly notes are cool: https://twitter.com/kevin_goldstein/status/1366824942550024195?s=21 More on...

Good stuff. It’s going to be a lot harder to protect him against LHP this year like they did in 2020. All 3 starting outfielders should really be...

He threw 16 fastballs and averaged 98. It was only 16 pitches but he was very literally sitting 98. He’s been up to 102 in the minors and he’s been...

He can hit at least 102, not 100. He’s consistently in the upper 90’s/low 100s now. There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t average 98-100 in a...

Josh Hader wasn’t Josh Hader at Marquez’s age either. He was a minor league starter with iffy secondaries and some control questions. He was traded...

It’s always easiest to bet on prospects falling short of expectations, especially if you set expectations high. Davis has a chance to be a really...

I think Rizzo extends. I also think they should extend Contreras. I’m pretty convinced they could get more in a trade for Amaya than they could for...

https://twitter.com/pgammo/status/1364720806002126862?s=21 Gammons says that if Ed Howard was off the board the Cubs would have picked Nick Yorke...

If I’m going safe I’m taking Leiter. It’s weird to say a pitcher is a safe prospect, but he feels safe to me. His stuff is very good, 4 good pitches,...

Leiter or Khalil Watson would be on top of my list right now. For the pirates situation Watson might be the better risk. If they come away with him...

I’m not saying it’s the same type of rebuild but it’s still a rebuild. They just traded their best pitcher for 4 high school aged prospects. I’m...

Lots of teenagers on that list. I think he’s sleeping on Kohl Franklin.

I think the Ricketts are still below average among the current ****** Mlb owners. I pulled the numbers the other day but the overall player spending...
