  1. Aaron Wilkerson will not cede the biggest home run giver-upper title to Chase Anderson.
  2. I think the Reds are being grossly overrated. They added very little of value and maybe the biggest addition they have is by subtraction of finally getting Hamilton off of the team. The guys they did add are blocking guys who are probably better than them. Kemp and Puig are going to steal AB from Winker and Senzel who are probably better players. Roark and Gray are probably replacement level pitchers. The one big addition they made was Alex Wood. And their bullpen is still hot garbage so even if their acquired starters and offense manage to get them the lead, the bullpen will still blow plenty of them and their outfield defense got a ton worse.
  3. Arcia still looks like a really, really bad offensive player.
  4. Tatis' looked like Machado's in game 1 of the NLCS. I think it would've gotten out.
  5. So Anderson has given up a homer with an exit velocity of approximately 428 mph and another that went about 425 feet.
  6. By the time he got his head turned around it was already over the fence.
  7. Maybe it's just spring training but Paddack is the fastest worker I've ever seen. Gets the ball back from the catcher and less than 10 seconds later, the pitch is already on the way.
  8. The problem is fans are still paying $15 for parking, $10 for cheap swill, $25 for a ticket and $8 for a barely warmed hot dog. So owners are basically just lining their own pockets with money from the fans and not giving it to the people that fans are paying these prices to see, the players. I don't think anybody would be on the player's side if owners reduced parking, ticket and concession prices and in turn player salaries went down. But owners are making record profits and players are signing for less. I would actually be totally okay with MLB players making less in exchange for giving minor league players an actual livable salary but that's not happening either.
  9. Is Hernan Perez better than Mike Trout? I'll hang up and take your answer off the air.
  10. Not to brag but I'm a better pitcher than Aaron Wilkerson.
  11. Nope. 2 minute report says Lopez tipped it and it shouldn't have been a shot clock violation.
  12. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/for-petes-sake/article226258250.html
  13. It's not April yet.
  14. At least the Padres are going to get several years of (likely) elite production with the best farm system in the game that will be producing MLB players soon. The Reds just traded for a bunch of free agents to be to still be at best the 4th best team in their division.
  15. How dare you leave the Ken Macha Experience out of this.
  16. They have a whole starting team at AAA that could possible make a MLB club! Not saying they will. Nottingham C Gatewood 1B Huira 2B Dubon SS Ecreg 3B Stokes OF Ray OF Grisham OF hello 67 wins! Not even sure that lineup could get to 67 wins with 5 Chris Sales starting.
  17. Cain gets more expensive, Yelich gets more expensive, pretty much every key player will get raises in arbitration and we'll need replacements for at minimum Grandal.
  18. I disagree about Perez, he is the key to making this work. Perez is a pretty good option against lefties...consistent .780 to .800 OPS against lefties. Moustakas isn't terrible against lefties. Shaw is more likely to get platooned in this configuration. Perez has only carried an OBP above .304 against LHP once. He is not a good option.
  19. I don't think the fit is that great. Didn’t seem to hurt them in August, September, & October and worked pretty well. Is Shaw great at 2nd now so I could see fit not being as good as a true 2B but with shifts still a major part of Brewers approach, that doesn’t matter much. I’d DH goes into play in 2020 & he hits as he has over career that mutual option could improve hit more It's not just about moving Shaw to 2nd. Moustakas is a poor man's Shaw and neither should play against lefties so our best option against lefties is still Perez, which isn't a good option either.
  20. AKA Jim Bowden Luckily it's not just him ranking them. It's whatever GM's, executives and scouts that are still willing to talk to him. So, sample size might be small.
  21. The Athletic Top 200 21. Keston Hiura 119. Brice Turang 131. Zack Brown 194. Corey Ray
  22. Well, considering literally no info on these guys is coming out from anywhere, I guess we gotta take what we can get. Wouldn't that be more reason to ignore what Michaels is saying? Like if he said it and then Rosenthal or even someone like Haudricourt picked up on that and heard it too, that would be one thing but Michaels said it and nobody has said anything else confirming it. So why would some MLB insider break this bit of news to Bill Michaels, who only talks about baseball when he can compare it to something in football?
  23. What if the Brewers use that extra $2 million per year to go over their bonus allotment in the draft and international FA allowing them to take players they feel are better prospects? What if they use that money to continually make improvements to the stadium? What if they use that money to further add to their baseball operations department? What if they use some of that extra money to donate to charities?
  24. The next time I listen to Bill Michaels for inside information will be the first. Especially about MLB or NBA.
