One of a kind for sure

Make the minimum pay $100k and compete with other sports for talent. Promote that talent for people to see.

Been saying for years MLB has to find a way to market the minor league games and find ways to get dynamic players into the sport. They are finally taking baby steps.

Great post! As you mentioned and noted above, he just steadily improves as he moves forward. What's not to like about that? He's been fun to follow. Good ABs with some sleeper pop for a C.

I've had a soft spot for this guy for a couple seasons. Sounds like an all-around good guy. Been waiting for a little power in his stroke and little more consistency with the glove. He continues to make steps.

HR #1 today - Stowers is on the board. Bet a bunch are gonna come in next week.

It’s a travesty it’s promoted so carelessly. It’s awful that they are targeting young kids with these “fake money” sites to create a habit to exploit. Pretty rotten if you ask me. I think you are actually in the majority if I had to guess (on this site).

Think you have to give up some more. He has ~1 year of service time vs. ~3years May.

I think a deal centered around May/Mateo would get my attention.

Would you consider Bradish deal significant? I think it's trending to that territory. Lopez trade has potential to as well. But you statement remains correct as of today.

Mateo has increased his BB/K from .33 a week+ ago up to .56. He was .18 last year and is .19 over his career. Consider me blown away. I keep checking in on that number and I keep getting more excited and more greedy as to my expectations.

This. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. He's just getting his sea legs under him. He needs to cover a larger portion of the shadow zone pitches with 2 strikes.

Look how little his head moves....Let's it get super deep and then just easily flicks it over the LF fence on a line. Don't think he even broke a sweat.

The kid is a freak show talent.

What they do with him when he is struggling will be very telling.

Thanks for posting. Good read (for BR) and interesting. I think my point stands. It’s baseball, some good performances some bad. But overall a lot more good than bad. Seems like writer wanted to hate on WBC -Made point as a negative that Ichiro had a down year because he went from 15hr to 9 lol. That year destroyed his career ISO! - The 2009 pitchers (I think) that all were “down” were all, lousy pitchers. Minus Santana (havnt looked to see if that was after his np hitter/blown arm game - imagine it was) -Almost all the “down” next season players were Old Dudes at end of career If you want to get better…..play games. And understand how to take care of your body.

Iron sharpens iron.

Cano + Bautista is pretty gnarly. Spin beyond all spin-kind and then

Moderately tax friendly. Beautiful. Cheap land. No sales or Inheritance tax. Seems like a pretty astute decision to set up shop out there. It’s beyond amazing if you like the outdoors.

I remember rolling up to yard the day they announced Jones extensions. One of best days in my 42 year Os fandom. How sad is that? Well, maybe the Delmon Young hit and the Cal jog.

2 outs in like 4 minutes then he got cute and lost control

“Never a doubt”

Pay the man. 27 and almost out of baseball. Gets real expensive in 2 years. That body will take care of the arm.
