    I mean that still doesn't mean it was surprising. Everyone knew Patrick was someone who could potentially be protected. What would be surprising is if someone like Russell Smith or Wes Clarke was protected.

    Keep so Scooterfletcher has a place to spam posts that isn't the main forum.

    Gasser should still be on their prospect list. Mitchell was still on their prospect list heading into the 2024 season. They either forgot about Gasser, changed their eligibility rules, or actually have him outside the Top 10.

    He's been much better outside of Coors the last few years. I've posted this like 3 times on Fanatic this offseason. Another time won't hurt. Here are his home/road with RHP/LHP platoon splits over the last 3 seasons. Home vs RHP - 87 wRC+, .332 wOBA, .331 xwOBA, .437 wOBACON, .435 xwOBACON Road vs RHP - 114 wRC+, .336 wOBA, .353 xwOBA, .426 wOBACON, .455 xwOBACON Home vs LHP - 105 wRC+, .359 wOBA, .344 xwOBA, .442 wOBACON, .417 xwOBACON Road vs LHP - 39 wRC+, .225 wOBA, .259 xwOBA, .285 wOBACON, .339 xwOBACON He's been good against RHP outside of Coors with very good underlying numbers. He can't hit LHP to save his life outside of Coors. You'd probably have to view him as more of a strong side platoon guy getting 550-ish PA and sitting most days against LHP but there's a lot to like about his bat against RHP outside of Coors.

    Devin himself confirmed he was never suspended.

    Didn't Chourio win one of the 3 OF GG awards last year as well or was that 2 years ago?

    You both said signing Hoskins was the 1% dream scenario then after signing him said you wished he did not have a player option for the 2025 season.

    Childers might be pitching himself into legit RP prospect. Tonight his FB topped out at 98.4. It averaged 97.4mph, 2400rpm, 17 IVB, 5 horizontal.

    I think there's a pretty clear spot for him in the back of the rotation. You have 3 should be dependable SP (Peralta, Myers, Civale) and a gigantic list of question marks after that. Saying there's not spot for a 4th should be dependable SP doesn't really make sense. Of the other names you listed Woodruff, Ashby, Hall all have legit question marks. Henderson doesn't have a real third pitch and has durability concerns. Crow has never pitched in AAA and is a very light throwing RHP. Patrick was doing well in AAA all year and was never given a chance in the MLB even over a guy like Dallas Keuchel. Misiorowski hasn't shown near the command needed to be an MLB SP yet. Rodriguez has stuff and command concerns. If you trade Rea you're putting a whole lotta faith in Woodruff being a solid SP as 32 year old post shoulder surgery and Hall/Ashby proving they are MLB level SP.

    That definitely does not seem like a group that you would feel comfortable trading proven MLB SP depth from. You have 3 guys who should be dependable SP and then a bunch of question marks.

    Just realized that Victor Estevez was either fired or not re-signed by Escogido. Albert Pujols is their manager this year.

    Birchard getting notably squeezed again according to statcast. 6 strikes on 15 pitches while statcast has him with 9 strikes on 15 pitches. Just some bad umping really hurting him.
  14. wiguy94
    I think I would have put both Tate Kuehner and Manuel Rodriguez over Misiorowski at SP. Misiorowski as a SP in AA had 79.2 IP, 3.50 ERA, 4.08 FIP. Kuehner this year had 104.1 IP, 3.19 ERA, 3.82 FIP. Rodriguez this year had 94.2 IP, 3.23 ERA, 4.00 FIP.

    Man that was a fun game. This is going to be a great series.

    I'm guessing defense wasn't factored in. At least the article didn't mention defense. Based on the 5 AAA guys, I'd imagine that OPS, HR, RBI, SB were what most of the votes were based on which ignores that the AAA hitting environment is substantially different than the other levels. Carolina League - .661 average OPS, 4.41 runs per game Midwest League - .684 average OPS, 4.42 runs per game Southern League - .664 average OPS, 4.04 runs per game International League - .763 average OPS, 5.13 runs per game Mejia had the 2nd worst wRC+ of the 5 catchers substantially behind Rodriguez, Miller, Garcia but was 1st in OPS, HR, RBI which largely just comes down to the International League being a far more offensive league than the other 3 leagues.

    Mejia being the C is a major whiff. He wasn't even close to being the best catcher in the system. Ramon Rodriguez - 121 wRC+ Darrien Miller - 120 wRC+ David Garcia - 116 wRC+ Francisco Mejia - 103 wRC+ Matthew Wood - 102 wRC+ I'd also say Yophery not being in the OF was a pretty big whiff.

    Here are some numbers showing just how insane Fernandomania was.

    I think it's entirely plausible that some people are turned off by the extra movement in his swing. We've seen over and over again players with unorthodox swings do well in the lower levels but as you get closer to the MLB they begin to struggle. There's also questions about how high his ceiling is and prospect lists will almost always defer to ceilings especially for prospects in the low minors. I have Areinamo #20 on my list with the only position players ahead of him as Quero, Made, Pratt, Yophery, Black, Payne, Boeve, Adames, Bitonti, Wilken. I gave Wilken the benefit of the doubt for his rough season, but outside of Wilken, I don't know how you can have Areinamo over any of those other position players.

    Typically plate discipline improves with age so in that sense Lara should be alright. I mean Frelick hadn't even played a professional game at Lara's age and Lara just spent an entire season at A+
  22. wiguy94
    He basically just can't hit LHP outside of Coors which is the only downside to him in addition to his pricier contract. I can easily see him being a 3 WAR player if you limit his PA against LHP and get him out of Coors. I know everyone always assumes that Coors is a hitter's paradise and it is, but it's not considered enough that Rockies hitters play half their games in a park where pitches move differently than the other 29 parks in the MLB which isn't exactly ideal.
  23. wiguy94
    Need to keep in mind Bregman is also a FA. If Astros re-sign him then that takes them out of the running. Yankees might not want to take on more salary if they bring back Soto considering he probably gets over $500M. If it comes down to Royals, Tigers, Brewers then I definitely could see all 3 teams wanting the Rockies to eat a bit of salary.

    Saying McMahon is Monasterio offensively is so wrong. Outside Coors the last 4 seasons these are McMahon's underlying numbers. .240/.324/.417 expected slash, .324 xwOBA, 91.1 Avg EV, 46.4% hard hit rate, 9.9% barrel rate Monasterio's numbers in his MLB career. .238/.318/.366 expected slash, .304 xwOBA, 88.6 Avg EV, 35.9% hard hit rate, 6.6% barrel rate McMahon's numbers outside Coors the last 4 years look even better against RHP. .250/.338/.455 expected slash, .344 xwOBA, 92 Avg EV, 47.9% hard hit rate, 12.3% barrel rate McMahon has crushed RHP outside Coors the last 2 years .247/.342/.461 actual slash, .347 wOBA .269/.361/.514 expected slash, .375 xwOBA, 92.3 Avg EV, 48.3% hard hit rate, 15.3% barrel rate
  25. wiguy94
    I don't see many teams that could use McMahon as much as us. Especially good teams. Here are teams who finished above .500 where McMahon would be an upgrade: Yankees, Astros, Royals, Detroit (depends on if they want Vierling to be a full time 3B), Seattle.
