    That outing actually came in a Statcast game and honestly, if I had to guess, that may be the biggest hint as to what happened here. The stuff, unfortunately, just didn't look very good. Wonder if it had backed up from where it was in his Indy Ball stint, and they didn't think it would return to form. Still a bit shocking to see them give up on an arm that quickly.

    I’d echo all of this. I try to tweet during some games, but I often forget to be active in the daily threads. Gonna make an effort to change that this year

    I mentioned it during the minor league portion of the podcast Jack and I just recorded tonight, but I do have some unfortunate news regarding Jason Woodward… Woodward underwent his second Tommy John Surgery this offseason and will miss all of 2025.

    Yep lol. Here's the article snoogans is referring to. It's pretty insane seeing the comparison to all of the big DSL performers over the last 3-4 years.
  22. Spencer Michaelis
    Payne gives me some Carl Crawford vibes. This was a bit before my time (Crawford was drafted the year after I was born), but from what I can find, the report on Crawford when he was drafted was that he had a lot of raw skill, strength and athleticism, but the strength hadn't translated to in game power yet, the athleticism was still a WIP in terms of being functional on defense (Payne is likely ahead of him in that regard, but he does need refinement as an outfielder), and the skill hadn't always shown up in performance against the best competition in HS. A lot of that lines up with what we know about Payne. I also have been saying Payne is kind of like a HS version of Garrett Mitchell since the draft. I think there are plenty of comparable traits between those two as well.
  23. Spencer Michaelis
    I would imagine Pena has a very real shot, but it is important to note that there are a lot of infielders who will be deserving of an opportunity in the lower levels. I think Made and Pena are good friends, but I don’t think they’re necessarily a package deal in terms of moving up together.
  24. Spencer Michaelis
    I hear you, but I think it should be noted that the Baseball America guys agreed that Made would be a pretty easy 1-1 choice in next year's draft if he had this type of underlying data on the HS circuit. What Made did in 2024 is just so far out of the ordinary. Gilbert Lara had a .600 OPS as a 17 year old in rookie ball. He signed for a lot of money, but reports back then were that the Brewers pretty immediately regretted it once he showed up to the team. They knew right away that it was a bad investment. I fully understand the hesitancy, but I'm not sure I'd use Lara as a reason for it.
  25. Spencer Michaelis
    I would expect him to start there yeah. It would be a pretty major upset if he doesn't.
