I thought Madrigal might be a decent pick for us instead of Mize (injury concerns). As it turned out...Madrigal never did develop any power and has an injury history of his own. I did think Matt McLain was a viable option at #3 in 2021 as he looked like a plug and play 2B...thayt idea looks better

BA and RBI...Like a pitcher's W/L record.... are the most salient statistics when judging player value

Two teams interested is better than one...drives up the return. I know he may opt out...but I'm inclined to roll the dice on keeping Rodriguez

I was the opposite...liked going go my glove side because it was an easier reach for me

Jobe has apparently added a cutter to his mix this season

Looking back...Greene played a few games in rookie ball in 2019...moved to the NY Penn League and finished in A ball at Western Michigan. After the 2020 camp year, he played at Erie and Toledo. It's aggressive...but not unprecedented

You're never gonna get Funkhouser to quit

He's channeling his inner Ned Braden

It's not 1990...Jose Trevino is out for the year

Alex Trevino is out for the year....what could we pry from the Yankees for Jake? I know...it violates GM rule #1

I think there's more utility in seeing what Meadows can do than there is in seeing if Badoo can get hot again

Jace Jung begins nervously looking over his shoulder....

I'm mostly angry with Javy because he does things like swinging at pitches that are so far out of the zone that he couldn't hit with a telephone pole when he's the potential tying run. It's galling to see a Major League baseball behave so...stupidly

That is a surprise... A little concerned we haven't added a decent back up QB yet

Will be hugely disappointing if they don't ink McGorricle

Diaz and the JUCO C Chernowhatever are the guys I'm looking forward to seeing develop. They have fun backstories

The hardest point for me to wrap my head around is the idea that you have to take into account what a player is willing to sign for into consideration when evaluating an individual pick. No other professional sports draft is like that...you can argue need vs BPA...but in baseball that doesn't seem to be as big of a debate as "what will this guy cost us"

Yes they do...I sell high risk auto insurance in SE Michigan...my life is a pageant of low watt IQ's

Tork is entertaining.... When be makes contact, he absolutely murders it. The hope is that contact becomes more frequent as he gains experience.

He's sleeping on Danielson...RHC with size who can skate and create offense? He should be higher...much higher

That's why we sweeten the pot a little...or maybe a trade to Chicago will infuriate Javy to the point that he opts out

Anderson is having as bad or worse time in Chicago than Javy is having here...he's a neg WAR player and his career WAR is 10 wins lower than Javy. They've both fallen off a cliff and appear to be very unhappy. make it happen, Scott!!

Wojo on 97.1 just proposed a Baez for Tim Anderson trade...we'd have to eat some money or tack on a prospect because Anderson is cheaper and on a shorter conteact..but, what the hell...why not?

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2012/top100/ Turner was in the top 15 that year..at #15

The frustrating thing about Tork is the inconsistency. That 9th inning K yesterday is the perfect example...that was a good AB...he worked the count and got the pitcher to throw him middle/middle low 90's FB...a pitch he's supposed to kill...and he was late on it. That's frustrating. Javy going up there as the $25 million man as the potential tying run and waving at pitches a HS player would take...that's not frustrating...it's infuriating.
