Lmao

Cano, Semien, and Goldy are on there for multiple teams.

Man I remember that streak. I think he hit like .200 the whole streak. And a lot of those one hit games where bloops or swinging bunts. I was amazing how lucky ole Danno was.

Your memory is bad. He hit 15 homers and had a
1.200 OPS during that streak.

I think you are mistaken

Man, I think you don’t remember that streak.

You dorks wouldn’t even have noticed if this other dork hadn’t pointed it out.

Incorrect. The lack of white trim on the sleeves below the piping looks janky as hell. Terrible change.

[bravesfanMatt]

Yikes. Anyone else want to correct my bad memory. I am available until 11 central if so.

Was it bj Upton's you're thinking of? Seems like he had a long hitting streak of like 1 for 5 every day

[Hulavol]

To Matt’s defense - a couple of nights during that streak - he actually beat out a couple of ground balls for hits to extend it

Almost like every long hitting streak ever.

2:38
Willy Adames: Am I on the block? Who’s gettin’ me and for what?
2:38
Ben Clemens: I’m kinda uncertain on this one
2:39
Ben Clemens: sure, trading Burnes signals that the Brewers are looking to the future
2:39
Ben Clemens: but they’ve always operated with one foot in the now and one in tomorrow
2:39
Ben Clemens: and the return for Adames would likely not be much higher than the comp pick they’re presumably getting for a QO
2:39
Ben Clemens: hard for me to imagine that their long-term interests are served by trading him for not much, they still do need to make the playoffs this year

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Arcia is "fine" at SS, the Braves do project at #24 overall for SS. If all AA has to do is beat the value of a comp pick, perhaps Adames is attainable?

Why?

You know, that might be the case. It definitely wasn't Danno.

[thethe]

Didn’t Uggla have two pop up hits into short cf during that streak?

[Krgrecw]

This Bobby Witt is fascinating.

11 years 288m
Club options for 14 years 378m (30m club options presumably)
Opt outs after years 7, 8, 9, 10

The Royals bought out at least 3 free agent seasons by guaranteeing $288m. If Witt plays well, he’s very likely going to opt out of this contract (unless this contract is significantly backloaded, even then he might still opt out). If Witt gets hurt or sucks, he’s still going to be paid like a top 5 short stop.

I’m happy for KC they get to keep their homegrown star, but it’s another data point that whatever market efficiency existed when AA signed all those guys to team friendly extensions has seemingly dried up.

Dude quietly had an amazing season.

Dude he was absolutely on another planet on fire during that streak.

[zbhargrove]

Didn’t read all the other responses first lol… wasn’t trying to assault you more

[bravesfanMatt]

You missed the assault me window anyway. It cutoff at 11 pm central yesterday. So no harm done.

[Carp]

Bobby Witt Jr. had a very good year for KC and at 23 you would think is only scratching the surface of his potential. But that is a ton of money to commit to a guy with a career OBP of .307. I suppose a team like KC has to take chances given they aren't very desirable to play for and have a limited budget. But given the state of their system, they would have been better off trading him for a boatload of prospects.

[thewupk]

Didn’t Uggla have two pop up hits into short cf during that streak?

Yeah I vaguely remember him fisting a couple of hits over the infielders late in games to extend it

[thewupk]

Dude quietly had an amazing season.

Not that quietly among the saber nerds. He was the top speed/defense guy in the league at a premium position.
