I can't wrap my mind around a pitcher having a significantly worse spin rate on the curve than the fastball. Just doesn't seem to make sense. I think the most likely explanation is that Anderson has below-average spin rate (though not nearly as low as reported on the curve) but with his...

I'm pretty sure he just meant Trout. 'We will likely never see a player this consistently dominant' - well, we already have. That's the joke.

Make that move, then sign Rendon in the offseason. Boom.

Can we all stop for a second and realize just how good he is? Cody Bellinger is having an all-timer type season, just absolutely raking at almost unfathomable levels...and Trout has posted an fWAR 0.5 higher despite a BABIP 60 points below his career average. And he used to have a below-average...

Either way, I think Waters + Muller is a clear overpay.

For sure, which is why he was risky. But those are precisely the guys I want to take chances on because when they hit, they are difference-makers. I don't really care if we hit on 80% of our draft picks if hitting for them means they become an average-ish player.

I wanted Adell from the first time I read about him. He was risky, but his ceiling was always what we're seeing now. And Wright's current struggles drive home the point that all draft picks are risky and there is no such thing as a floor that is above 'never becoming anything.' That's not to say...

To the point above, though, if Snitker isn't going to play him much, or if he's not really much of an improvement over Riley right away, I would rather he continue to get consistent PAs in AA and continue to improve his game while waiting to start his clock until into next year. If it was an...

Honestly, even if only one of Waters/Pache realizes most of their potential, we're going to be in incredible shape. You would have your CF/RF/2B/SS/3B all playing well and on very team-friendly contracts. Then we will still have Freddie crushing for at least a few more years. At that point you...

Waters may have more offensive potential, though right now I definitely like Pache's numbers more. But I don't think there's any question whose defense is better. Kiley knows more than I do, but I am having trouble seeing Waters at the same level as Pache.

Last year he didn't K 27% of the time.

Castillo is definitely good, but he also has gotten lucky this year. It's ok to say both are true.

It definitely makes the HR numbers for Pache more impressive, but I'd be curious to see what Mississippi's BABIPs look like compared to league average. Might explain a little bit of Waters' BABIP, though obviously at that level there's a lot of luck there no matter what. Regardless, this is why...

Shewmake? If we can flip him for something of value this soon, we should absolutely be open to that.

I don't know what the surplus value numbers actually look like on this, but I would not do that. Syndergaard is on good value right now, but his K numbers have been slowly coming down and subsequently, he's not pitching nearly as well. He still has value, but I could see Pache coming in and...

Let's not get carried away. If Folty got right, a Folty-Soroka-Keuchel rotation is certainly not bad...but it's still not Ryu-Kershaw-Buehler, and not really all that close.

Yeah, but the scouting community hasn't soured on Anderson at all. So if that was the reason for concern with Allard, we shouldn't have that same concern here, no?

First, could you not say the exact same about Contreras? It looks like he got so upset simply because Flowers smiled at him while he himself was crying about calls. Second, please, like baseball is the only sport where this happens. This happens in football, it happens in basketball, it happens...

Based on what? Everything suggests his defense is bad.
