    Elite velocity? Do you know the definition of elite velocity?

    Your pozziness knows no bounds lol.

    I'm just of the opinion Newcomb is turning in a damn good rookie season. Sorry that offends you

    Elite infield defense, im sure. Probably best in the game actually.

    How many lefty starting pitchers averaged a FB with more velocity this year?

    Fine.

    But Newk does not have a "solid GB rate".

    He does not have "elite velocity".

    These homerific exaggerations are comically ignorant.

    I've already broken down Newk's stuff. He has plus velocity (grade 60+). It is not elite (grade 75+).

    Facts are facts, no matter how hard you shake your pompoms.

    Are those grades against just lefties or both?

    Your plus is thethe's elite. Maybe "elite" was a bad choice of a word, but Newcomb is above avg and certainly good enough there to make it

    Newk has 2 plus pitches that are good enough for him to be a 3 win 2-pitch guy if his control improves to average or better. If his control only improves to Gio-level, he can be a solid 2 win guy.

    Most likely he stays in the 4-5 BB/9 range and is a BP arm.m

    You're certainly free to get excited about that if you want.

    No, my plus and elite are the plus and elite used by the scouting community.

    I love our bullpen. Really think viz, ramirez, winkler, freeman, lindgren, and minter are gonna be really, really good next season. Hope we sign a good reliever anyway, so we can flip him if we aren't in contention

    Adonis is an elite ground ball hitter vs LHers. Probably top 5 in the game.

    I bet he's just excited about vandy hosting bama tomorrow. Who can concentrate on a slider with that big game tomorrow?

    Ender is quietly a solid slap hitter. Easily top 3 in the game.

    I wanted to see what happened when pitchers started to throw Swanson 25%+ sliders again. I got what I asked for...unfortunately.
