    If you count the other 560 PA in 2019, Lewis has a ways to go. Making a judgement on the AFL stats alone would be like making a judgment on his spring training at bats this year.

    Everything is temporary. If Lewis is in the majors before September this year I hope Lanarch and Celestino have talked to him about playing above your level. It would also mean bad things have happened. Next year is next year. Things have a way of sorting themselves out. Never forget Correa is a Boras client.

    A prospect list is someone’s opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. If a player is near the top of the list it generally means their ceiling as a player is higher. Towards the bottom it means they are in the low minors or have a chance to be a solid player. Bailey Ober was in the 20s on most people’s list. If last year was any indication of talent he could have a long career filling out a rotation

    Not only do they need a fifth starter, they need to have a plan for starters 6, 7 and 8 for injuries, ineffectiveness and inclement weather. Balazovic, Duran, Sands and or Stroman will need to progress quickly. If they do not trade for a starter and sign another aged starter the rotation could be Gray and rookies in a quick hurry.

    You likely know the meaning of truncated. Paying someone less for a shortened season is not truncating a contract. The Twins agreed to pay Donaldson 40.5 million over 2 seasons. When the season was truncated, the contract was reduced accordingly. However, the contract was not shortened.,

    Fangraphs uses a projection system based on what the player has done in the minors. When Gordon was in AAA in 2019 he stunk. That shattered his ranking methodology. Gordon was a versatile replacement level utility player last year. If he doesn’t advance past that his career will last as long his willingness to be cut and move on. We’re there 36 better prospects? If everyone progressed ad the model say the answer is yes. Thus far it would be safe to say at this moment Lanarch and Rooker haven’t met the projections. Blankenhorn got his cup of coffee and shown he is similar to Gordon in value. He was also similar in ranking. Will Gordon prove his fangraphs rating as wrong? Well, consider all the lofty top 100 rankings he had. He proved them wrong, he can certainly do it in the other direction

    Don’t have anything to do with the news of the world. Looking at the time of the post, you sure it isn’t the Schlitz Blitz not the catching?

    See Berrios.

    That Blackburn was a top 100 in Baseball prospectus and nowhere else should be an indication something is wrong with the metric. That Blackburn was number one when others had him so much lower should be a clue that something is wrong. You can call it a fact, but it is an opinion that is so far out of line with others it should be a red flag unless you a mocking prospect rankings. If you were mocking them, good job

    With the added tool pf hindsight people can be so much smarter

    The author lost all credibility calling Nick Blackburn a number 1 prospect in an organization that had some gimpy catcher at the same time. If you tru trail hard you could maybe even remember the not great power hitter;s blame.

    One bad inning is telling of something?

    I don’t think they are going to jack Oner around like they did Dobnak. Nor is it very nice of you to project that Ober will be injured. Man, you can be such the downer dude.

    It says something about the drafting when the top drafted prospects were drafted by other teams
  15. old nurse
    Your question was less than a poor one. Nothing in the CBA benefits the fans. Should my response been asking you how does more money going to the owners benefit the fans? I didn’t ask it because of the hyperbole that would come back. Parity has no mechanism to happen in baseball. There is no way A 36% raise for the maybe 300 players at any one time that are pre arb eligible comes out to 2 million a team. I have did not say one word about free agent compensation. We can’t differ on that

    The flow of wealth I’m America has gone increasingly to the top 1%. That includes every baseball owner. My bet is you don’t begrudge paying them when you purchase products. Oil companies are at all time high for profits, You call the players greedy. Raising the CBT reminds me of trickle down economics. . On the other hand how many years of profit taking rather than competitive clubs do you have to have? If a century of teams is not enough to float the idea of if this is the way teams are then the money teams might as well spend more. It would be something like a free market economy If the players did not ask for everything they would get nothing.

    Yeah the union has done nothing for the player’s incomes. In 1972 Danny Thompson as a third year starting player made 13,500. Median household income was 11,200. Thanks to the union the players aren’t doing that much better than median household income now, if you move the decimal point over to the left one position and divide by 2

    Getting back to Arraez. His ceiling has been shown. He is a good player but not potentially great. That does not get you a front line starter. In any trade proposal be almost becomes a Brian Duensing bit.
  19. old nurse
    Since 2007 the baseball drafts have produced Gibson, Dozier, Hicks, Rosario, Buxton, Berrios and Rogers. Maybe in a few years that will change. Maybe not.

    Theilbar is a left handed Ryan is right. You should understand the difference Hader was a multi inning pitcher for 2 seasons. His career should be longer that 4 Why is 91. Important when the average FP velocity is climbing to the mid nineties and is higher than that for relievers, Reaction time
  21. old nurse
    Name one do it all reliever then with a 91.3 FB Colome. Is Ryan as a reliever, not Hader
  22. old nurse
    Your comment was Hader is a multi inning reliever. Your interpretation of why he is no longer throwing multiple inning is just that, If Ryan fails as a starter he will not be a multi inning reliever like Hader for the same reason he would have failed as a starter,. Your premise was preposterous. In terms of the Milwaukee staff development, I don’t think anybody by minor league ranking anyone thought the three of them would become what they were last season. So what is your point there?
  23. old nurse
    Hader has not thrown multiple inning games the last two seasons and is not projected to do so in the future
  24. old nurse
    A work in progress. By the end of the year there should be some clarity
  25. old nurse
    Nolasco pitched fro a couple of years at league average, Pineada has pitched well above league average but now has a 5 year injury history. There is absolutely no similarity in career between these two.
