Maybe some folks attached too much significance to their not completely incompetent short season effort in 2020?

In 2021? Naw, make it the Mancini tour. There is your hook.

It's a process Frobby. We just have to be patient. Remember the point of all of this isn't to win games, it's to build a farm system. Just think how much talent they will have in the farm and how much ownership will have saved to pay players after another five years of this.

I don't know if Elias is going to be so aggressive with promotions. He might have to earn his way out of the DSL.

Don't worry, at some indeterminate date in the future they are going to be done tanking and will actually try and win games. Odds are good it will be before the end of the decade.

I've got the Moto Power 8. 5K mah. ? I can get upwards of three days.

So two for five opening day?

He hasn't even made an out as a pro.

An Iphone is going to set you back a lot more money than a true budget phone. All they really need is an email account and this one Application. I'm betting they could get an employee that works with the phones to set that much up for them. That's three minutes, they spend more time than that importing pictures when folks upgrade.

I can certainly respect that approach.

I think you are discounting the huge amount of risk with Jasson. Sure he has some amazing tools but so did Bubba Starling. Barring injury Adley is a lock to be a plus defensive catcher with the ability to run into one and put it over the fence. The difference is floor.

The bases is interesting, the step off rule seems forced. "We heard you guys figured out how math works so we are going to make it super easy to steal because we decided that's interesting." .

I am not at all sure the line " Another impact of shifts is we see fewer great defensive plays in the infield." is accurate. They aren't the same play, but I'm not sure the overall number goes down. Has anyone noticed a decline in highlight infield plays since teams started shifting more?

You wouldn't even need to run a plan on it. Just download the email when you have a free wi-fi connection.

I'm pretty sure you don't need a $900 phone to display a digital image. With some careful shopping you can get easily get a smart phone for under 50 bucks and something fairly modern for under 200. If you stop for a second and think of the actual technology in a smart phone you'll be amazed they don't start at a grand. Overall electronics are dirt cheap.

Hopefully the experience was a good one.

30 bucks is an obscene amount of money?

You think it isn't a factor?

Sam Horn hit three homers in a game.

What can he learn in AA or AAA that he can't learn in the majors? Unless you think he can't handle the pressure of it all? In which case they picked the wrong guy 1-1. Before the reserve clause you'd have HS kids in the majors at 18. Back before teams had to worry about service clocks.

Let's look at Markakis. His rookie season in the first half he was overmatched at times, having had limited time in the minors. He put up a sOPS+ of 80. Now if he had more time in the minors I imagine his first 250 PA would have look better. But Markakis made adjustments at the ML level and in the second half put up a sOPS+ of 131. I'm sure some folks in May of 2006 probably though Markakis needed more seasoning in the minors.

Nope. I'll state that odds are good that if he was allowed to start in the majors this year he would put up inferior rookie numbers than what he would produce if he played the year in the minors and had his rookie season in 2022. What I've been saying is he's advanced enough that he can learn what he needs at the ML level. I don't think spending the year in the minors would benefit him as much, over the course of his career, as getting to the majors a year earlier. I think that being challenged leads to greater growth.
