So you are also saying Fried's not clutch and needs to work on his swagger Super? I agree, corrections are occurring and now Fried needs to make corrections. And his sinker or at least pitch selection.

Early in the season stats were showing that Fried was very good with runners on, etc. I haven't more recent stats but I would not say he is not clutch. I think Enscheff has told us all along that his fast ball is too straight and someone one needs to teach him a sinker and see if it moves...

Wow, I'd rather give Enscheff his own forum where neither he or EE can interact than ban him. I mainly come here to read his new data, etc.

Thanks for the link. Seems more like a whiny post someone would make here than a publishable article. For sure plenty of stupid moves were made and we basically lucked into the core we have. But then he takes it further and seems to relate the rebuild mistakes and our future mediocrity on...

Other than all his arguing, as usual I agree with Enscheff (he'd make a great asst GM). Pay what it takes to get Kimbrell for a year or two. I'm as much concerned with his regression as I am with some our young pitchers stepping up and we really don't need Kimbrell. If no moves are make I...

Don't forget Teheran possibly gets sent to the pen. It's a shame to have to put Newk in the pen. Wright needs to work on some things. I definitely think Touki and Wilson would instantly be great pen pieces if we start using them there. I sort of always felt Weigel was destined for the pen...

Riley would have been who I would have traded for Realmuto. I think he has potential to be an average to above average third baseman, but could still be a bust. He strikes out too much. A career minor league average of 0.284 with over a strike out per game does not translate to an MLB first...

Thanks Enscheff. It's pretty funny that Soroka and Allard seemed so similar in talent coming up if you just looked at the results. I remember Allard had some crazy stat like he struck out 11 of the first 12 batters he faced in pro ball.

I'm sure I missed the prior comments somewhere, but what happened with Duvall and his salary. Did we pick it up since he's still with the team?

The hardest player to figure out where to bat to me is Albies. After seeing that RHH Albies OBP I like to see Albies leadoff against lefties and Inciarte bat leadoff against righties. Then go Acuna, Freeman, Donaldson. But since Inciarte tends to start the season slow, and Acuna wants to...

I love that every time someone has something to say about Muller, they always mention how big he is.

I have a good bit of faith that Pache or Waters can replace Inciarte in a couple of years. I have no Faith that Riley can knock Camargo off third. Actually I'm all for extenting Donaldson.

It's funny to me that no one throws out playing Culberson in LF if we don't make a move. If we don't make any further moves, I'd throw Culberson out there, turn Camargo into the sub, bat off the bench, etc. It will be stupid to not make another move or two sometime at least by the trade...

This thread really went south, and now I keep replaying that Simmons behind the back to himself play in my head. Even without the cannon arm he was incredible (I guess "is" is the proper verb, but not to me).

I wonder in the history of baseball, how many times a #5 hitter has led a team in stolen bases? (not that Albies will do that, but you get the idea)

I think we open the season with Acuna batting leadoff. Albies is actually the hardest among our hitters to figure out where to bat. He will likely be among our four best hitters, but his OBP sux and he makes way too many unproductive outs. I guess that sums up a #5 hitter, but it seems so...

This offseason sets up easy for AA to me. Replace Markakis with a mild upgrade. Once we have done that we can get by, but better yet, also replace Zuk with a mild upgrade. It would be nice to push Viz and Minter down to the 7th and 8th, but I think we'll have a good shot that one of our...

I like Realmuto, but I would probably not be willing to give up enough of our prospects to get him. Based on the moves we made this year, I kinda think AA feels that way too. I especially don't want to give up any of our high upside prospects. I know Gohara has issues, but this time last year...

Looks like they also got the Waters pick right! Centerfielders in the system, man.

No 2018 picks on there yet? You know your system is strong when you don't want to figure out how to add more guys to your lists.
