Spring has Sprung

I may be in the minority, but I'm coming around to the possibility that Ozuna+Camargo could end up being better than JD... love hearing all the positivity coming out of camp from Camargo. I think we are in the position to test him out full time again. We should still be competitive enough by the trade deadline to upgrade if need be.

I think someone mentioned it earlier, but we should probably sticky this thread and take the off season post off the sticky.

It should be moved to the "sticky" area replacing post season as it's over for the most part and real baseball is about to start. ST games on FSSE in about a week.
 
Bowman has spring-training-hope-springs-eternal feel good piece on Pfeifer making camp, which contains this factoid:

https://www.mlb.com/news/philip-pfeifer-on-cusp-of-majors-with-braves

He worked at a law firm near his Knoxville, Tenn., residence, studied for the LSAT and passed it before heading to last year’s Spring Training hoping to just enjoy what would likely be his final baseball season.

The LSAT, like the regular SAT, gives you a score within a range (120 - 180). Even if you miss every question, you still "pass" with a 120. So Bowman's journalistic fact-checking skills are in midseason form at least.

Not sure how many times this has to be said, but the LSAT 120 -180 range is different for prospected lawyers compared to actual lawyers. For a prospected lawyer a 180 means you can expect an average 3.2 court case wins per year. But a 180 for an actual lawyer is more like 7 wins a year. This is simple stuff guys.
 
There was always a bit of lightning in his bat as a RHH. It’s the other side of the plate where he’d spend the majority of his PAs that’s the real problem.

In 2018 he posted a 116 wRC+ vs lefties and a 116 wRC+ vs righties

.347 wOBA vs. lefties
.346 wOBA vs. righties

.213 ISO vs. lefties
.173 ISO vs. righties

I don't know if we can glean much into 2019 as he was poor all around.

That’s the real issue with Camargo starting. LHH.

Maybe, maybe not... He was a virtually identical player LHH and RHH in 2018... 2017 was a small sample and his first experience as a big leaguer, and in 2019 he was awful all around.

But let's not forget when he went back to AAA last year, he lit it up and when called back up he was on fire for the rest of the season before going out with the injury.

How does that relate to WAR?
