Pirates are ineligible for the lottery. The Twins and ChiSox are the only teams ahead of us. We're technically tied with the Orioles but the tiebreaker "favors" them since they own the head to head vs us this year.

How many games has Crochet played since 2021? Skuball missed half the season in 2023 and about 1/3 of the season in 2022. Injuries occur far more often than you are letting on. In today's game, players push their body more physically than previous generations did, in terms of athletic ability...

Is 61% games better than 20% of the games that pitchers can optimistically play in? How many games has Tatis played in since 2021?

Yes, I am definitely taking Acuna over Tatis. It's not particularly close. I am probably taking him over any pitcher in baseball as well since pitchers are only available for 30-35 games per year.

Injuries are a valid criticism. But stop acting like he isn't one of the 5-10 best players in baseball.

I know you're emotional during games, but you've got to consider context dude. Acuna only has 248 career PAs in high leverage situations, because around 90% of his career PAs have been in the leadoff position. He could literally hit 3 homers in his next 3 PAs in high leverage situations and...

How many career high leverage situations does he have? Hitting leadoff for 90% of his career couldn't have afforded him to many opportunities.

Red Sox released Walker Buehler. Now he is someone I wouldn't mind giving a rotation spot to see if we can squeeze anything out of. Quantril, Fedde and Carasco had next to a zero chance of ever being useful SPs again. But Buehler might still have something.

And then the Angels take Mike Trout with the Teixeira comp pick...... Sigh.

Pete Orr

Corky Miller

I think the relationship just soured really quick. 2 1st rounders for a non QB is pretty terrific value. And they got Clark, who is a very good IDL, even tho he's about to turn 30. They could also try trading for Hendrickson.

Murphy squared

Wil Ledezma.

@CrimsonCowboy , you doing ok?

One can only hope so. I haven't been able to watch any games lately. How is Brujan's defense?

I am completely fine moving Ritchie in the right trade. And I like Ritchie a lot. But with Fuentes, Caminiti, and Owen Murphy killing it, and a few other wild cards like Briggs McKenzie, Baumann, Sinnard, Braun, and Hernandez, I feel like there is enough in the pipeline to not sweat losing...

Seems that I forgot you can get an extra pick if a pre-arb player finishes Top 3 in CYA or MVP voting. Schwellenbach could earn us another pick in 2026 if he finishes top 3 for CYA correct?

Stl most likely isn't moving Arenado with that contract and he has a NTC. So I find it unlikely they will bench him any time soon. They also have Gorman and Donovan who can both play either 2b or 3b. I am not saying they for sure will move Wynn or Wetherholt. But it certainly seems like the...

There isn't much that is going to change his overall savant page for 2025. He was just too terrible for too long. But we can look at his raw 2nd half data. He has a .763 OPS on only a .280 BABIP. His .170 ISO is back basically to his career average compared the putrid .096 it was during the...
