Gotta do that. Crazy to basically throw away a year of control.

Replace stupid with futile.

Current contracts? I'd take my chances on staying with Acuna.

All About AA (Albies and Acuna)

No way. That'd be way over the top.

Hope he's right.

Clearly.

Nice observations. Hopefully consistent with the reports that his bat speed isn't the concern it once was.

You are such a pozzi-Brave at heart! The homer in me largely agrees with you on this particular occasion. Really want to see Acuna, but they really need to "Bryant" him.

Rate for 162 games = Ozzie 97 Runs 26 Doubles 14 Triples 17 HR 80 RBI 23 STL 4 CS .286 .354.456 Compares rather favorably, though Judge and Bellinger were awesome.

This is by far the most humble post I have ever seen from you, Encheff. As for my crow eating, I didn't make any predictions, but as far as what I thought, I, too thought Sawnson was good for at least two wins, and likely more, as well as Folty. I also thought Julio would be decent...

I wonder if any Twins fans did a similar exercise last year?

I follow your reasoning, and I realize that Ozzie is a little guy, but are you completely discounting the idea that he may get stronger as he physically matures, and thereby increase those exit velocity numbers you cite? If I had to prognosticate, I couldn't disagree much with your...

What you say makes sense, but I can't imagine them holding Acuna off for another year. Technically, unless he struggles in AFL or Spring Training, they would be in danger of failing to live up to the CBA if they held him off, though if the Cubs could do it with Bryant, the Braves could at least...

Back to discussion about Albies, I was listening to/watching TV today, and I think it was MLB, though it might not have been. They were slobbering like crazy over Devers, doing amazing things at 20. I am admittedly a Braves homer, but I found their discussion short-sighted in that they didn't...

Yeah, but if they trade him for Trout, the Angels won't be as good.

Cut the slackard!

I would think an average that much higher than BABIP would be really rare today. It would require a lot of power and a low strikeout rate, would it not? Williams and the Yankee Clipper both had that going on.

I lean toward thinking it's because he's laying off the good ones when he doesn't have two strikes, and spitting on the ones way out of the zone when he does. Seems like a lot of his K's were on sliders that missed by a lot. Encheff, how tough would it be to track his swing rate at sliders out...

Is that Paul Byrd?
