    We have another wannabe grainy video scout trying his hand...

    https://www.talkingchop.com/2019/8/1...ucker-davidson

    He grades IA's FA at 60/65, CU at 60/65 and the CH at 50/55.

    He said the FA, "was sitting more 92-93 MPH", and then tried to hang a 60 on the pitch. Problem is, 92-93 is grade 45 velocity, and I can't fathom the amount of movement needed to boost a pitch up a full grade and a half.

    He then tries to show off the movement on the CU, but the video is so blurry I can barely see the ball at all.

    FG's grades on IA are 55/55 on the FA, 50/55 on the CU, and 50/60 on the CH. I would put more stock into what EL and Kiley have to say than this guy at TC. He is factually wrong about the FA, and his homerism is likely influencing his grades on the other pitches.

    We know Anderson's CU has bad spin rates, so a grade 60/65 pitch is unlikely. We also know his reverse K splits suggest his CH is better than the CU. We also know this wannabe scout has no idea what he's talking about.

    Do the Braves sell high on Anderson this offseason?

    My take away from the Anderson video is that they make you retrieve your own foul ball. And the sun is brutal if you don’t wear a hat. Insta burn on head.

    I would've sold high on Waters and Anderson at the deadline to try to entice Pitt into a mega deal involving Vazquez and Marte

    Wes Parsons, who was DFA'd over the weekend has been claimed by the Rockies.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    He is on the podcast that TC has for the Braves prospects. He saw Daniel Espino in person and thought he should be the #1 pick in the draft. Espino eventually went #21. I think it's generally easy to be overly impressed by good prospects playing against lesser competition, but maybe he'll be proven correct.
    Go get him!

    FG had Espino as a 45, and 45s populated their list from 14-38. If he went #21, then they pegged him pretty well.

    The guy at TC doesn't know ****, just like all their "writers".
