Megill as the closer just makes the most sense. Does anyone think Megill could handle the workload Uribe had last year? Megill has been exclusively used as a RP since he was drafted in 2015. The most innings he's thrown in a season in that time is 60.2 back in 2019. Uribe threw 75.1 innings last year despite being suspended the first 4 games of the year.
Quero had 2 errors in the 4th inning but the radio broadcast made it sound like the first error should have been on Leonard and Quero had a strong throw and the 2nd throw wasn't great but Wilken made a poor play on the ball.
Yes now we can say for certain that Priester had a setback. That was not the case when that comment was made and Woodruff (who that comment was mostly about) has not had any setback so yes the comment was still dramatic.
Yeah no longer concerned about his velo. Koenig is the real yellow flag guy now and it sounds like that might be a red flag based on Murphy's comments about him losing weight in the offseason (guessing he was sick)
Priester stopped pitching for like 3-4 days. I'd hardly call that a setback. Woodruff hasn't had any setbacks. He's just being eased in very slowly. Both of these guys are being intentionally built up slowly. That's the process. They aren't being delayed or having their processes prevented.
Setback is extremely dramatic. Murphy said Woodruff is still on pace to be in the opening day rotation. Priester is slightly behind him because they want to build Priester up slowly after a career high in innings last year.
Uribe's stuff being down so significantly in his first two outings this spring definitely is worthy of a yellow caution flag. Too early in ST to rule it a red flag but definitely something I'm going to be keeping an eye on over the next month.
I'm not going to dispute Bohm being better than Rengifo because I think you're right about that but I think it's a bit misleading to post the baseball savant page of Bohm's career year as if that's the expected outcome from Bohm. Here's Bohm in 2023 and 2025. This is a better example of what Bohm is as a player.
He wouldn't have been worth this package a year ago when he was coming off a much better season and had 2 years of control let alone now when he's coming off a weaker season and has 1 year of control.
The $29.99 package included radio, MiLB TV, and MLB Big Inning. The $59.99 package includes all of those plus full access to MLB Network so you're spending an extra $30 a year for MLB Network.
Brendan Brock has gotten off to a hot start through 2 games. Here's a side view of him hitting a 112 EV HR against Texas Tech. He also has 103 and 110 EV doubles through 2 games.
If we can get the 2024 versions of Rengifo and Hamilton it would probably work out with those two splitting time at 3B (or 2B) and Hamilton being the late inning defensive replacement.
