Fangraph's piece on minor league shortstop defense. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/lets-watch-some-shortstop-prospects-play-defense/ Bonus Ortiz content.

So, jorts.

We don't have a ton of data yet but I don't think the effect is that pronounced. How many dead pull right handed hitters are out there?

Zechariah Zeus......checks out.

I still don't get it. If you have a quality RH hitter without platoon splits how is it worse? Mullins is better since he stopped switch hitting. Not many of the really great hitters switch hit. It's not needed.

You did say that, and I mentioned that you did. My question is why does that make a difference? How is a switch hitter better than someone who doesn't switch hit but puts up similar numbers? Not everyone has pronounced platoon splits.

The O's under his leadership signed the deal with Levy.

I'm going to blame Frazier.

There is zero chance the Orioles would ever hire someone that posts here.

Just for chuckles I put in Scored really well.

The whole best hitter since Eddie thing has been misread. First off they meant power hitter so Roberts is exempted. Secondly they were only talking about switch hitters for some reason. I don't get why that would make a difference but this started with someone quoting one of those specific statistical achievements the media likes to foster on us.

I'd go with a St Louis Brown for that one.

If they get under the cap they get a pick after the second round when Ohtani walks. They are only over buy a Skosh.

Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm

Or she's manually ignoring you.

Ortiz did what?

It gets Frazier out of the outfield.

Naw the guy that would have been playing instead would have hit a big dong both at bats.

Josh Donaldson got released. Any interest?

We had more minorities on the roster by opening day.

What do you think superstitious means?

I disagree. I think you should go back and look at his career. I don't think he would have made big bank coming off a short season and TJ surgery.

Wasn't the last QO 19.65M?

I hear he's an old 28.
