Fine. He isn't a very big K player to begin with. He's above league average in that category over the last 5 or so years. I wouldn't worry.

Ghost's offensive game is starting to come back here recently. Keep doing that.

If the price is low, I'm in. But its a 31 team league and Philly isn't the only option. Some team out there will have a reason to keep Ekholm and pay up like he's worth. That's the issue. I'm a...

You're way overpaying then. Because you have to factor in the "whatever deals you need" to protect a player with 1 year on his deal on top of the trade price. It becomes exorbitant. Quick.

I honestly completely forgot about DJ Herz. With the lack of a 2020 minor league year, he really flew under the radar.

God, I love Giroux.

Maybe. It's really hard to tell without statcast data if he's getting any extra EV, LA or barrels.

Hoerner's issues are two fold. He needs to add strength and he needs to add lift. Way too...

No one is saying intangibles and makeup don't exist. No one is saying scouts don't do research on the subject. They do research on the subject by speaking to coaches, former coaches, and people...

There was just as much negativity in 2008. The Cubs in 2008 were knocked out of the playoffs once again in the first round. People thought the 1b and the 3b were choke artists and over rated. They...

I assure you, it was almost the same entity in 2008. People argued in the same fashion. It was over things like OBP, and range factor, and the conversation was just the same level of intensity.

Yea, I do like a good Joc bomb. Pretty HR swing.

This is a logical fallacy; just because someone else has the same uninformed opinion does not make yours informed. 2 people who think, for example, the world is flat do not strengthen each other's...

Or he just wasn't good enough to pitch in the 8th or the 9th and it's skill, not mental makeup. So yes, I find it controversial to question a guy like Edwards mentally when you have never met him,...

They didn't have a season last year so it's impossible to say. Everyone is going 1 IP.

My guess is that he's in the rotation to start in Iowa, but that he's probably destined to the pen. Iowa...

Yeah it'd be great if he could find MLB value somewhere after basically being left for prospect dead.

Pitching prospects are ****ing weird.

In far more interesting news, sounds like Brendan Little pitched well yesterday and the rumors of added velocity seem to be true.

Threw 95-96mph and has always had good spin on the curve. Might...

You saw a kid get nervous and then started making definitive claims on how he compares mentally to other players.

If all you said was "man, he looked a little nervous out there that one time!",...

That's a decent list. Generally speaking, makeup is just "who are they as a person?" You can break that down as you wish.

In the end, none of those things are things anyone sitting at home...

Wander Franco is a rare prospect and a completely different beast. He's also a position player. Pitchers who haven't thrown above A ball rarely get moved up lists. Command is much like hit tool in...

You're right, I don't care about your subjective opinion based on what you think you saw on TV, in a small sample size, and how that relates to his "makeup". It's insane to pretend you have any...

One time, Chris Sale didn't like the uniforms so much, he cut 'em all up with scissors before a baseball game, in what might be the biggest tantrum I have ever read about. There was a run for 3-5...

Other pitchers with bad makeup:

Chris Sale: 3 hits,1 walk, no Ks in 1 IP
Shane Bieber: 4 ER, 2 HR, 6.35 ERA in first start
Lucas Giolito: 6.75 ERA over his first 21 IP
Jose Berrios: 5 ER, 11.25...

Wow. Determining how a "player holds himself on the field" in his very first appearance is a horrid, horrible, and terrible way to determine a person's makeup. If we're going to judge trash that...
