@ARobsBrewCrew this isn’t an injury question but do you know when the Southern League is done with the enhanced ball?
i thought it was halfway point which would be today but I’ve also seen July 9th as well. I can’t seem to find a definitive answer.
Was silly of Dorrian to act that way. The bases were loaded and it was a 1-2 count. It was clearly accidental, but Dorrian for some reason decided to make a scene about it.
Is it really Arnold's fault that a bunch of established/semi-established players are having the worst seasons of their career? How is a GM supposed to predict that so many players will have 10th percentile outcome seasons.
Adames - 86 wRC+ vs 109 wRC+ last season
Tellez - 84 wRC+ vs 110 wRC+ last season
Winker - 59 wRC+ vs 108 wRC+ last season
Urias - 61 wrC+ vs 110 wRC+ last season
Taylor - 8 wRC+ vs 102 wRC+ last season
Brosseau - 75 wRC+ vs 118 wRC+ last season
I don't really know how you can blame a GM for not predicting that.
My hypothetical trade.
Burnes and Payamps for Manzardo, Montgomery, and Basabe.
BTV has it as pretty fair. Brewers getting $51.3M surplus value and Rays getting $54.6 surplus value.
Does seem like there are quite a few guys who started really slow so their overall numbers look pretty average but they have been really good lately.
At A:
Gregory Barrios had a 22 wRC+ in April. Since May 1st he has a 105 wRC+ with a 128 wRC+ in June.
Jadher Areinamo had a 42 wRC+ in April. Since May 1st he has a 95 wRC+.
Then you obviously mentioned Hebert Perez.
At A+:
Robert Moore had a 69 wRC+ in April. Since May 1st he has a 122 wRC+ with a 139 wRC+ in June.
Darrien Miller had a 42 wRC+ in April. Since May 1st he has a 133 wRC+.
Then you obviously mentioned Joe Gray Jr.
I figured Rowdy would probably be non-tendered this offseason barring a breakout season, but he's trending towards being DFA'd. Feel like he looks bigger this year. Wonder if that has hurt his swing.
Honestly feel bad for Willson. His xwOBA is basically the same as William but he's woefully underperforming it and then he gets scapegoated by management for the pitcher issues despite the Cardinals having one of the worst pitching staff's on paper in all of baseball
When do we think Woodruff gets back? Threw his first bullpen today. Probably about a month to stretch himself out so back 1st time through the rotation post All-Star break?
I don't recall seeing it posted in the roster transactions thread, but Jose Chavez is making his full season debut for the Mudcats in the 9th right now. FB sitting 92-94 with lots of ride getting a lot of swing and misses with it.
