He had probably the best offensive season possible for him. Really high BABIP. His defense was not great. I don't think he will sustain 3 war. Keeping Ender was the better choice in my opinion.

I’m going to jump on the homer train too. Saw Pache play several times at Mississippi this past year. He is an impressive prospect. He has the raw tools to be an everyday MLB player. I think Ender is a good comp for Pache.

With the speed Pache has I wouldn't worry about HR's very much. Where he really needs to improve is decreasing his K rate.

He will hit better than Ender and play defense at least on par with Ender. That makes him a 3 war player. I think it’s ok to be a little excited about having a 3 war player coming that will be under cheap team control for six years.

If you’re playing by the old school book you would never IBB a middle of the order hitter. If you’re managing with analytics and are trying to setup up the most favorable matchup and have a constraint on your pitcher then IBB’s May make sense in some untraditional times. With a 3 batter min...

All the rule changes seem good except the three batter rule. I hate it amd I don’t think it will work as anticipated. Say you are facing an LRL lineup. If I’m the manager I let my logy pitch to the first batter, intentionally walk the second, then pitch to the third. Three batters faced...

How long does he have to sit out for the draft pick comp to go away? Kimbrel’s best move may be to sit out half a year and sign a high value short term deal with a contender. If you are a contender paying Kimbrel 10 to 15 million for 80 games is better than paying the prospect cost to trade...

Steve Phillips on XM said Julio has gained 15 lbs and his fastball is now 93-94. Is this accurate?

Hope you’re right. If Acuña wins the mvp. Braves will win the division. If he wins the MVP I would offer him a 13/350 extension immediately.

Dansby must have the slowest bat in the mlb. He can’t touch a slider.

The bat speed observation is probably subjective until there is some stat cast data to back it up. I agree with the guess hitting take. What’s more concerning about Riley in my opinion is that he is getting reps at 1st instead of the outfield. If his future is 1st base then he needs to be...

I have a question for the group. Everyone seems to be drinking the Phillies are best kool aid right now. What’s an example of a team that brought in its 4 best players in the off season (Cutch, JTR, Segura and Harper) and made the play offs? I’m having a hard time thinking of a team that...

Which role? Crappy bench player or Necks brother in law?

I’ve always thought the uncertainty about what position Meyers would play has hurt his play. I think Meyers could produce a little more than 2 war a year if he can settle into a regular position. I think AA would be interested in Meyers if he could get him for an investment of 12 to 14 AAV...

Don’t worry I meant that as a joke.

Since they don’t need a shortstop now I would offer Teheran (Braves pay all but 500k of salary) plus Allard for Tatis.

Peller is truly the dumbest GM in the game. Signing Machado locked in third place in the NL West. Lol Meyers is still cheap this year but in 2020 Meyers, Hosmer and Machado will account for close to 75 million in payroll. I’m wondering how Peller will fill out the team. In three years Peller...

Romo is getting old. Who has the better year between Romo and Freeman is a flip coin. Who knows? When you are shopping on the Romo Freeman price range shelf you are just buying lottery tickets hoping you get a win.

My take on the 680 interview is we can expect AA to be conservative signing FA’s and not trade prospects to win now. I think he had some regrets about the win now moves he made with the Jays. The Hallady, Dicky, Price, Tulo etc. moves to win now really hurt the Jays long term. I think he is...

Blair, Wisler and Sims are already gone. So are you suggesting that Blair, Wisler and Sims would have gotten Paxton? Which few million dollar reliever would have anchored the pen?
