  1. Anderson is crushing at Erie, .977 ops. Jung is struggling at Toledo. I'd hate to see them trade CRod. The White Sox will never forget trading Tatis Jr for Shields
  2. AJ and Harris seem to love the mix of pitching styles. Would be cool to see a knuckleballer get a chance
  3. If Detroit is contending, I don't see Harris trading Skubal. Not after 7-8 years in the mlb basement. Fans are back. While it would suck, if they are contending next season, I see Det taking the comp pick.
  4. Mlb.com has Chris Rodrigiez up to #8 in Detroit's system. I know it's so early, but still exciting to see Tigers Top Prospects | MiLB.com https://share.google/iNS4tQPTqMl9vV8mv
  5. I think he may jump into top 10 prospects in all of MLB.
  6. I agree. This is very different than unloading Betts. Certainly helps SF now, but with Devers body type, that contract carries risk.
  7. Devers is actually only 28. After this season he remains under contract for 8 more years at $254 million. I do agree that his contract might not age well Rafael Devers Stats, Height, Weight, Position, Rookie Status & More | Baseball-Reference.com https://share.google/1JfbtSxEmjKgRRE6K
  8. Wonder if Bregman regrets not taking Detroit's deal now
  9. They're overusing the bullpen again. Need Olson back.
  10. Twins got swept by the surging Astros, and KC just got swept at home by the A's. Cleveland is down 5-0 today. Central is slumping hard
  11. Looks like I missed an ugly game. When Elly is in a groove, they are a good team.
  12. Kenta Maeda is getting shelled in aaa. 5 games, 16 IP, 21 ER, 2.313 WHIP. Some of that is him making adjustments, but he is likely pitching his final professional games. Time to hang it up
  13. Yep, I see a dfa in Brebbia's near future
  14. With Victor Reyes batting 3rd and Baddoo hitting clean-up?
  15. Just think - Hack Wilson once had 190 RBI in one season. And he consumed 380 bottles of whiskey that same year!
  16. Well said. And re: feted gods - with aau teams, this special treatment can start around age 12. Certainly see this with basketball, and I assume baseball as well. AJ seems to be managing egos well - team first, all in.
  17. McGonigle at WM - 5 for 5 today, avg up to .429, ops 1.243 in 77 at-bats. Erie must be calling soon.
  18. It seems like more often managers try to avoid the dreaded third time through the line-up. It does take a toll on bullpen arms as the season wares on. Per Yankees fans, the reason they didn't match Kahnle's offer (and he openly stated he wanted to stay) was that his production historically drops off toward the end of the season.
  19. I'd watch their feed whenever they played Detroit. Imho Stone is the best
  20. Francisco Liriano comes to mind. I saw him pitch in person several times his rookie year. His hard slider was awesome, but he threw it all time time. Tommy John the next season. Decent career after, but nothing like his rookie season.
  21. I agree......for every Skubal example, there are also Michael Fulmer examples.
  22. That's my take, spot on. Well said.
